My wife and I got married at Roche Harbor in September, and everything about our wedding was wonderful. It's a breathtaking venue; the on-site team is absolutely on it (we didn't need to hire a wedding planner and everything ran smoothly); their recommended vendors were delightful to work with; and our guests were raving about the food (rehearsal dinner, hors d'ouvres, and dinner were all independently top-notch). For a vacation / getaway, it's also spectacular. Life moves slower on San Juan Island, and that's especially true at Roche. A+ atmosphere. My wife and I plan on going back often.

We stayed one Friday night in the Hotel de Haro in a room with a view for about $200, which was very reasonable. We were there for a wedding and had great communication before our stay — we received texts, emails, and even a phone call about our reservation. At night, the lights make the whole place feel extra magical, and the grounds are so well maintained — it honestly felt like something out of a movie. We loved the marina view, the friendly staff, and the cozy touch of coffee and donuts in the lobby. It felt very homey, and we slept great. The only downsides were that our room floor was noticeably uneven and slanted, making it tricky to set up our infant’s pack and play safely. Also, while the shared bathroom wasn’t an issue (especially since our room had its own sink and mirror), both our sink and the shared one didn’t drain well. Oh and the walls are thin. Otherwise, it was a wonderful stay and such a charming, memorable spot!

This is quite possibly the most idyllic resort in the state of Washington. The history is fascinating, the location is unbeatable and the available restaurants and small store will cover all of your basic needs. The grounds are meticulously maintained and beautiful at any time of the year (though the spring and mid-summer are the most colorful). This is an obvious wedding destination, so it can be quite busy from May to October. Make reservations and plan ahead. The town of Friday Harbor is about 20-25 minutes away and offers pretty much anything else you could need, including many more restaurant options. The drive between Roche Harbor and Friday Harbor is beautiful any time of year and is also just worth it to get a better "feel" of San Juan Island. Don't debate, just visit!
