Check-in was great! Stephane (co-owner with his wife) and their cute dog, Sydney, was there to greet us on our arrival. Catherine (Stephane's daughter) was lovely! She was very helpful with her advice. What a sweetheart! Stephane was very accommodating as he escorted us to our dome site and he helped us start our campfire because we hadn't done that before! We took the kayaks (no extra cost - included in our stay) out for a paddle in the morning and it was so beautiful and peaceful! Nice way to start your morning! Everyone is so friendly at Blue Bayou Resort and make you feel at home.

Wonderful! If you like camping with all the conveniences this is the place to go. The view is spectacular. You can go kayaking, canoeing, windsurfing, etc. It's all free! I just wanted to let you know that there are no extra charges. Best of all, you get privacy. It was great!

They have 2 queen bed dome but there is no door or curtain for washrom area which was really inconvinient if 4 adults sharing dome. Also door opens on washroom side so it will be an issue if someone changing in that area. If there is curtain or door for washroom, it will solve both the problems.

It was a really cool experience to stay in the dome but I definitely did not find the place to be luxurious like it was advertised to be. It was a very bare minimum dome. There were only one towel per person, no towel to stand on after showering so that the floor didn’t get soaked. The bed was not comfy at all very hard and only one pillow per person. There were no dishes except two mugs in the dome, nothing to cook with outside and being at the top of the Cabot trail there was not much in the way of getting food either. There isn’t even a fridge to keep the food cold that we did take, thank god they sold ice to keep it cold. Also the owners have a dog but don’t follow their own rule of keeping dogs on leash. Their dog was intimidating our dog a few times when we were trying to take him out to use the washroom so we felt we couldn’t even have our dog outside with us when we had a fire one night.

Great "glamping" experience. This was a great location for exploring Cape Breton Island with easy access to the Cabot Trail. The owners are great, quick with help for any concerns.

The stay was very comfortable, Owner very attentive. Since we stayed there for 2 nights, we had the opportunity to kayak for free. When it started to rain a little, the owner gave us a canopy to hide from the rain when we had lunch or dinner. The holiday was wonderful

Overall loved our stay. Had thought we would have view of water but only 2 domes did. Overall area could be picked up a bit. And the cabin we stayed in might need fans provided for future hot (global warming) days. The host was delightful.
