Now accepting applications for year round monthly moorage: $13 per foot of the Total length of vessel. Live aboard fee is an additional $350 / month.
All swimming pools, the mansion, spa, and restaurants are closed for the winter, but there are restaurants a few miles away. The pool and restaurant will reopen this summer.
Our mooring balls are first come first serve; dinghy in and check in at the office after you tie up to one. 30 or 50 amp power provided; see marina map photo for 50 amp locations. (50 amp is $15/night.)
There was marginal wifi and no cell service. It was our last night out and no communication made things a little challenging. Great sandwich at the cafe. Dock master was helpful to print out a road map.
Best docks and dock-side services around. The greater amenities need work...store has very eclectic selection, restaurant needs to reopen...to justify the fairly high $/foot moorage cost.
Marina is great. Terry met us on arrival and gave helpful briefing and update on resort status. Showers are better but need hooks and niche for soap and shampoo. Cascade Bay was open but menu was very limited. Service delightful however. We love Rosario and really hope it gets the investment it still needs.
The only thing beautiful about our experience was the History of Rosario. Dock crew were very helpful. Food was expensive and inedible. Bathrooms were empty of paper products and filthy, showers filthy. Will not be back until new management improves the facility. Very disappointed.
Beautiful spot. Marina is easy to negotiate. Harbor master and crew were accommodating and friendly!
Very nice and quiet harbor. Enjoyed staying here overnight.
nice dock and facilities, helpful staff. Wifi coverage should be better
Dock was fine. Bathroom looked like it hadnât been cleaned all summer. Restaurant menu was terrible. Tacos were only available for breakfast? Pool by marina was closed supposedly for renovation but, it looked like the only issue was that it was not being maintained. Disappointing to see what was once a lovely place be so terribly managed.
Great facilities, great layout. We're looking forward to the resort renovation to be complete, and have access to the pools on property!
We did not realize that the Mansion would be closed, and that dampered the experience. We shoule have done our research. The character of Rosario has sadly changed. The docks and facilities were great, and we liked the ammenities such as fast wifi, free showers, clean bathrooms and many places to sit and relax, so the moorage part checked all the boxes, just miss when this place was in its glory with more to do.
Nice and peaceful. The grill was open and the employees were very nice. The marina showers were free and the water stayed warm. Looking forward to returning when the mansion reopens and they have more services and dining options.
Very helpful staff. Lovely location. Too bad the pool is closed.
A great marina, still running well while the rest of the resort is undergoing renovations. I look forward to seeing the place when renovations are complete.
The docks are new but very few amenities are open, the quality of the food at the Grill is poor, and despite this moorage is still very expensive.
Friendly staff. Nice marina. Very nice to have bathrooms with free showers. Recommend the addition of some hooks in the bathroom. Soap dispenser in bathroom was empty when we arrived and the next morning.
Sad â the resort is a shell of our former favorite. They tell you up front that the Mansion is closed. What they donât say is the loss of attention to detail at the other facilities. The one bright spot is the marina staff and management, they were as helpful as ever. The dockside restaurant is a different story. In the past it would hopping in the afternoon, and we would enjoy a happy hour cocktail and snack there once we secured the boat. This year as we approached rather than being greeted by a festive atmosphere, we looked in on a single staffer with his head down on on the the tables in an otherwise empty deck. We kept walking. The next day I checked out the store, even though folks on the dock were commenting on the high prices. It had a minimum of supplies and there was no cashier. After waiting a while, one of the restaurant staff walked in and nudged him, he was at the bar looking at his phone with his back to the store. Had to use a Square type device on his phone for checkout, $6.60 for a single can of Coke and a bag of M&Ms. The showers have been refinished with new tile but not a single hook or shelf to hang clothes. My wife also struggled getting hot water in the ladies room and one of the stall doors wouldnât close. Bottom line, if you just want a nice dock for the night, there are much cheaper locations and thatâs the only reason to visit at this time. We will not be back until we hear that they stepped back up.
We will return to Rosario! We love the wide fairways, large docks, friendly welcoming staff and the peaceful grounds.
The menu at the cafe leaves a lot to be desired.
No pools open (one was when we reserved) Store is open but zero food items; no dairy, no 6-packs, no chips, three wines. $6 ice. Mansion closed. Marina is still nice. The park toys are beat up and broken. The marina side restaurant has good food; pizza, chicken sandwich, deli sandwich, and a breakfast burrito. Serious. That is the menu. No chardonnay. The shuttle into Eastsound would have cost us $200 round trip to get OJ, Good lunch at Black Horse Pub in Eastsound. Crabbing was outstanding in Olga (opening weekend) We won't be going back to Rosario this season unless a major corner is turned on the new owner "restoration".
Lovely area. Canât wait to visit once the resort is complete.
Ended up paying way more than expected because they underestimated our beam (even though we provided all dimensions when booking). The marina pool is also closed for some reason (none of the staff could tell us why or when it would be open again). The resort was a bit of a ghost town since the main building and spa and the primary outdoor pool are under renovation. A disappointment for the price.
Wow. This was our first visit to Rosario. I am new to docking/undocking my boat and Terry the harbor master and crew were beyond helpful. When I asked for dock assist leaving during intermittent gusts, Terry took the time to listen to my plan, offer advice and then gave us a helpful push away. Thank you, Terry! We are heading back in a few days with a new crew and can't wait to see y'all again. Marina and restrooms clean. Gift shops had a great variety of goods. Lovely grounds. Friendly supportive customer service.
Overall we enjoyed our stay in Rosario Marina. It's under new ownership and not fully operational. The Cascade Grill is the only open restaurant and serves a limited menu of sandwiches and pizza. The pizza was good, nothing special. They didn't seem to have a cocktail menu, but appear to serve wine and cocktails made from store bought mixes. We got lattes in the morning from the store, and while they have a fancy espresso machine, I'm not sure they know how to use it correctly, the coffees were average. Overall food and beverages seem pricey, in-line with other marinas in the area, but nothing really special and just mediocre quality. The docks themselves are in good shape and seemed quite wide and easy to maneuver into. The fuel dock is limited, slow and expensive. The views are gorgeous and everyone was friendly!
Great Marina staff and dock condition. New ownership could do more to incentivize visiting even when the resort is under renovation, but the quietness is equally appealing.
It was nice. Came in on a boat. Couldnât find a room so slept on the lawn đ
The marina is beautiful and well serviced. However, we came for the spa, museum and mansion, all of which were closed. The kind employee informed us of this when we docked. Nothing was posted on their website. While they did provide a discount, it was enough to justify the stay. When they reopen everything, we will return.
Very helpful marina personnel. Great bathrooms and showers. Will be a lot nicer once the restaurant opens in July and the new ownership finishes all the renovations on the pool and spa.
I love ROSARIO! We have been staying at the resort for years and we are super excited for the improvements to come. We have never stayed at the marina before and during this difficult time where everyone is social distancing we decided to give it a go. The docks are fantastic, so much room. A little rough on your bare feet so be sure to have dock shoes. The shower facilities could use some work, so we are hopeful that is in the plans. The grill was open and the wait staff made it feel like a true vacation. Especially Hugo, he is new and just so kind. Really connects with people. Water, power, a gas and visitor dock too. There is even a family of otters that fight under the docks, it was hilarious. We had so much fun, we stayed an extra night. We will definitely be back.
This is a nice marina that is in need of good consistant management. Last summer the outdoor grill/bar did not open at all which is one the attractions of this marina. The new docks are a much needed improvement and appreciated. There are great local hiking trails for all levels in the area and Eastsound is a quick cab ride.
