North Star Beach Suites

We arrived at the North Star Beach Suites with a group of eight people and two dogs and were immediately met with a warm welcome, seamless organization, and beautifully prepared accommodations. The suites themselves were thoughtfully detailed and very comfortable, but what truly took our breath away was the view: the town to our left, Fortress Louisburg to the right, and the Atlantic stretching out before us, framed by a low island and the Lighthouse. Simply exceptional. We were fortunate to enjoy two dinners in the Bothy hosted by what felt like the entire community. The atmosphere was lively, the staff were energetic and engaging, and everyone was clearly dedicated to creating a memorable experience. And they succeeded. Our first dinner was excellent, combining delicious food with attentive service. The second evening was even more remarkable: with the regular chef off, Justin stepped in and prepared a menu that exceeded expectations—including what we all agreed was the best seafood chowder in Nova Scotia. He also created a fully customized meal for a guest with significant dietary restrictions, which was a thoughtful and generous touch. From the stunning setting to the quality of the food, and most importantly the warmth, knowledge, and enthusiasm of the staff—along with the incredible hospitality of owners Justin and Colin—our experience at the North Star Beach Resort was nothing short of outstanding.

Where do I begin??.. The ocean views, the accommodations, the restaurants, the service , the owners.. everything was perfect! We celebrated as a couple for our 29th wedding anniversary and I can’t say enough about this place. We stayed in room 11, the grand suite- what a view from our large balcony! The sounds of waves crashing on the shore and the stunning ocean view.. best room in the main resort! We slept like babies! Incredible! We ate at the Bothy.. high end and so tasty. I highly recommend the Halibut! Shout out to the incredible Mrs M. (Julie).. this woman does not stop! Such a pleasure to deal with ;) We also had the pleasure of meeting the owners.. the famous Colin and Justin. 😊 So hardworking!! ..I never expected them to be serving and waiting tables; Doing this with with such class and style , smiles on thier faces and so very welcoming. If anyone is in the local area, you MUST go and try it, you wont be disappointed! Thanks Guys ( and ladies) for making our day so memorable.. another anniversary we most certainly wont forget! We’ll be back fellas ;) Barb & Rob.

What a great place for a total getaway experience. The service, the location, the food, and the rooms are all first-rate. When you arrive, you are greeted by some very nice people. Very often even Justin or Colin will be there to say hello as well. Julie at reception was great, and she can tell you all things Louisbourg. The ocean front rooms are as good as advertised. Complete with all amenities, like small kitchen, appliances, extra bedding, temperature control, sitting area and an excellent bed, your comfort will be guaranteed. The "Bothy" dining hall is a great encounter with prompt and professional service, a great atmosphere and very good food and beverages. It is amazing how they have converted this older facility into a modern and full service resort. Your trip there will be trouble free and most certainly a very relaxing experience.

My husband and I just spent 4 nights at this fabulous Inn. We had a second floor room with a balcony overlooking the ocean with a view of the Fortress of Louisbourg. The room was decorated so artistically. A nod to the talented Colin and Justin. They are present on the property in so many ways, From serving cocktails, busing tables, And even singing with the live entertainment offered in the evenings. The food at their restaurants was fabulous, from the mussels cooked in a Gorgonzola cream sauce to their lobster Mac and cheese!!!! If you are looking for a Relaxing getaway, this gem will not disappoint Fr

Located in sleepy Louisbourg this holiday destination is a quaint location for a lovely chill out. Surrounded by history and fabulous views it’s a nice place to visit on Cape Breton. The rooms have an excellent view of this. Spacious rooms but the bathroom could have a little loving. The Bothy, located on the grounds of the hotel is a must. The owners, Justin and Colin, are there meeting and greeting people, as well as sometimes serving you delicious food. For a seafood enthusiast, the mussels are a must.

This was our 2nd stay at North Star and let me just say it was 10/10! Colin and Justin are such welcoming hosts, the food is amazing, and there is such a comfy vibe at the entire resort! If you’ve never been, what are you waiting for? Just do it, you’ll be glad you did!
