We stayed here for 4 nights in August as a family. As a previous reviewer wrote, this place has the potential to be so much more than it is currently and I hope the Management take note. It is in a wonderful, peaceful location for touring this side of the island and for viewing the idyllic sunsets over the water.... More

Stayed one night when driving around Cape Breton. Lovely location and good walks in the village. Great sea views. Room was vast and well equipped with all we needed. No wireless internet, but the lady on reception was so helpful with the office facilities when I had an urgent business matter to attend to. Dinner was very good too in... More

This resort has the potential to be perfect! Lovely location, layout, design, and decor. However, there seems to be no attention to detail. Our suite seemed tired, not very clean, slightly run down. I noticed dustballs in the corners, spiderwebs, mold in the bathroom, etc. The bathroom was my biggest disappointment. As mentioned, there was mold in the corners and... More

We stayed for five nights late July 2012. Good size apartment, but having rented the Sunset Royal Suite (most expensive) I expected newer couches, clean drapes and clean air conditioning filter. When I called about the missing adirondack chairs I was told they had lost some in the wind storm - when was that last year! Drapes and couches ready... More

These cottages / suites are ideally situated - just a few hundred feet from the shore, and beautiful scenery around you. The rooms are a great size - a spacious living room with electric fireplace, nice kitchenette, very nice bathroom with a spacious shower and a whirlpool tub that was comfortable for two. The bed was also very comfortable. It... More

We have just returned from a three-night stay and really enjoyed our time at Island Sunset Resort. The room was huge with comfortable furniture,a nice kitchenette, good bathroom & pleasant decor. We were disappointed to find no adirondack chairs on our porch - only a few of the "better view" rooms seemed to have them - we decided that this... More

We stayed here in 2009 and were surprised that management have not kept up the property, although they have not increased prices. At 195 ish per night, portions of exterior need painting, draperies need repair, the property generally felt tired. Still it is a great location, beautifully appointed, modern, comfortable, but we were surprised. You dont expect anything to be... More

It's #1 in Belle Cote because its the only place in Belle Cote. The management is useless. The exterior of the cottages are falling into disrepair, and the insides are mediocre. They still advertise themselves as a spa on the phone and internet, yet they stopped operations long ago. There are much better places to stay, especially in this area.... More

My wife and I spent 4 nights at the Island Sunset resort in Belle Cote in July 2011. If your looking for a quiet, relaxed atmosphere this would be a good place to try. The cottages were roomy, clean and comfortable. There was a nice size porch with seating but we didn't take advantage of it as it was home... More
