If I was a hotel manager - I would send my hotel crew to watch and observe the Pacific Terrace team and ask them to copy

Absolutely wonderful - staff couldn't have been more helpful and friendly.
Pros:

Perfect location right on Pacific Beach, great views over the ocean.
Good location for restaurants, food shopping and surfing schools and bike hire.
Loved that you could take bikes out, that they provided all the beach equipment, chairs, umbrellas and towels. Made it all so easy.
Also loved the cocktails and waiter service by the pool and good food options.
Sun sets to die for!

Cons:

It would have been nice to have a lounge bar for evening drinks.
I would have liked a hob in the kitchen and a kettle.
