Hotel was amazing but view could have been better. Paid for a pool view but got stuck on 1st floor in corner not much of a view. Restaurant had great food and free parking which is a definite plus in California!

Oh My Gosh! This place is stunning! Walked in and was immediately greeted with a hello and welcome. Upon checking in, I was asked if I wanted a drink- alcoholic or not? Duh! Of course I chose alcoholic and it was amazing! We were also informed there is a shuttle that can take us anywhere within a 5 mile radius of the hotel! Yay❤️ Oh and the beach is less than a 5 minute walk and it’s gorgeous! This resort is our absolute favorite❤️ Oh and we checked in our little Pug Ruby and at check in we were provided with a collapsible water bowl for the Pug! It was truly an amazing stay. We loved the views and the resort. The pool is clean and good sized. The hot tub is running and is HOT- feels amazing after a day at the beach. Idk the gal’s name who checked us in but she was very sweet. We also interacted with a rep named Sean who was sweet as cherry pie. I was asking him about the “welcome” drink and he was kind enough to get me a second one after I learned I could not purchase a full size “welcome drink”. Please add that to the bar’s menu is my only ask. It is delicious and left me in hot pursuit of finding someone or somewhere who can make it just as deliciously❤️ Kudos to the Chef who makes this amazing location! Thank you again! See y’all soon!

We enjoyed our 1 night stay. The room was clean and spacious, the pool area at night is pretty with the lighting and the restaurant food was delicious. The property is pet friendly so that was a big plus. We were hoping to enjoy our ocean view balcony but the noise from the cars driving by took away from the ocean wave sounds, but the sunset view was pretty. I would recommend staying here.
