My wife and I had breakfast at the New Leaf Cafe before heading for the ferry landing on the way out. I have to say they serve good breakfast and a stong cup of coffee. Perfect for the ride home.

I was shocked to discover how bad this Resort and Spa really is. Ever since my wife and I moved to Seattle back in 1999 we have heard about this remote destination resort located on Orcas Island within the San Juan chain of islands. I have known couples that select Rosario as a setting to exchange wedding vows and hey Kenmore Air flies there too.

The light bulb goes on!

Maybe plan a super secret get away weekend for my wife to celebrate her 30th birthday at Rosario. I have three words for you that describe this place, “What a turd”. I have stayed at nicer hotels on the I-5 corridor for 80 bucks a night. The Moran mansion portion of Rosario rates from ok to nice, the rest of the resort was likely built during the 1980’s and was never renovated or even giving an interior update. GGGGGGross. Dated vinyl floors in the bathrooms, unkept grounds and shotty building construction is a good starting and ending point. Don’t be let down, stay and eat dinner at the Inn at Ship Bay.

Have a good day!

I stopped by this morning on the way to work for coffee and something to eat. I am so glad to see such a nice space open in this little retail universe in Mount Baker. I want to explore the dinner offerings real soon. Thanks for coming to our neck of the woods Chow Foods.
