I had a few friends and close family in town for my wedding at Sunset Harbour. Martin, our host, was extremely responsive and answered all my questions before we arrived. The view of the water was amazing, and it was a great place to mingle in between my busy schedule. We didn't get to use the hot tub since we were so busy, but I guess that means my husband and I will just have to return sometime soon! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/946bd632-d077-46bd-930e-fb72159d5e21-1759073438046.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7c38a58a-af1d-44ab-9f6d-74f627ca55a2-1759073440699.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![This swan came super close to the deck.
