Island Sunset Resort

While the place could be refreshed, the sunset views were ridiculously beautiful and the restaurant on site was impressive. Great value!

We were invited to a wedding that took place there it has a gorgeous view and stunning sunsets the food was amazing. We didn't stay in the rooms. Beautiful wedding.

This restaurant was very accommodating. Beautiful sunset views. Quick service. Very busy and quite loud, which lead to servers looking a little frustrated - could come off as unfriendly, but they just looked overworked to me. We had a great time with our family and we will definitely be back. Food looked amazing around the table. They cooked an off menu vegan dish for us which was nice. Tasty, but not very filling. Nice they have a solid vegan option :)

The good: Named island sunset for a reason, the sunsets were breathtaking! We enjoyed sitting out watching the sun set over the ocean each night. Each room has two sturdy outside comfortable chairs for sunset viewing! The staff were friendly and helpful. We had no hot water in our room for a day, and Margie did everything she could to get the hot water back. It was greatly appreciated. The food at the restaurant is great. We attended a wedding, and the food service was timely, delicious, and with good sized portions. Cheesecake was fantastic!The bad: the rooms. While spacious, the rooms are incredibly dated. The two queen beds in our room squeaked so loud if you got up to go to the bathroom you’d wake everyone in your room plus possibly those next door. They were also very uncomfortable. Not enough blankets, understanding it was summer but the evenings can be chilly and the one light fleece blanket wasn’t enough. The televisions were CRT, and one didn’t work properly. While we were not there to watch tv, it can a nice touch to have a modern working television in the room. Some money and time need to be invested in the rooms to bring them into 2022 and beyond.Massive thanks to Margie to making the wedding guests feel welcome. She’s lovely!

Day 4 of our 5 day stay here and we couldn’t be happier! Our unit is spacious, well appointed and the views are spectacular with the beach steps away. Marie is lovely and very helpful and accommodating with any requests.Perfectly situated 25 minutes from Cabot Cliffs/Links and 20 minutes from Cheticamp, right on the water, it’s the hub to everything.The 3 meals we’ve had here have been great! Expect both a casual setting and presentation of dishes and you won’t be disappointed. The quality of ingredients in every dish we’ve had have been top notch, perfectly prepared, delicious and the service team are wonderful! The open kitchen watching the chefs is an added bonus. The steak and ale night on Tuesday with live fiddling was great!The restaurant isn’t open for breakfast but there is a little gem 5 minutes away at the Duck Cove Inn that opens at 7:30 where you can get everything from a traditional breakfast to homemade fish cakes, baked beans and toast.Highly recommend a visit to Island Sunset. Try the haddock and lobster!

Nice place. Inside is a tad dated (I have not seen CRT TVs in a hotel in many years) and bathroom sink is cramped in. In late fall when you can’t really utilize the outside view and seating area, I am not sure the value proposition is that great since that is partially what you are paying for. also they don't provide breakfast which most other places seem to include. But room is very large and a living room and kitchenette are great to have - and for many people maybe a kitchenette offsets lack of providing breakfast.

Well situated if you plan on resting and walking on the beach daily. Restaurant at walking distance with a very good cook ! Reception service is very courteous, as well as the cleaning staff. Stayed 10 days as girls only getaway and we were not disappointed !

Great staff, prompt service great views. Varying menu, also had a kids menu prepared as well. As this is a upscale dining experience be prepared for a bit more out of pocket HOWEVER I got the 3 course special which included soup, salmon and dessert for $32.00 so can't beat that. Definitely great value for the price. Would highly recommend for a dinner date at sunset to anyone stopping by. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is cause there isn't a 4.5 star option and we'll nobody gets a 5 star but this is damn close!

We had our wedding here this past August. Have been meaning to leave this review for a while.The crew here were incredibly accommodating! Our wedding day was perfect and seamless. We are definitely happy we chose Island Sunset as our wedding venue. Our ceremony was on the beach and we were able to set up the morning of since it's not a very busy beach. Our dinner and reception was held in the restaurant. The food came out fast and everyone commented on how great the food was. The second evening everyone went to the Steak and Stein they hold every Tuesday. The food the second night was equally amazing as was the live entertainment. The accommodations were great! The cleaning crew came in daily and they were all so sweet and helpful. Nicole their in-house Coordinator was great to work with and Margie their Restaurant Manager was a big help when we arrived. I have no complaints! Our wedding was perfect and I strongly recommend Island Sunset as a wedding venue.

The streak came back red when I asked for well done no pink. We were a party of 10 and two of our meals came after everyone else was done eating. The haddock dinner did not have the sauce as advertised. The waitress failed to understand that one person had chosen two alternative sides which was an option so patron got the two normal sides plus the replacement and were charged for the errors. This is the eight or nineth time going over the past ten years and it just gets worsted. Had to send back three Spanish coffees one time because they were not even like warm. This is an overpriced poorly managed dive
