Pros:

This is such a beautiful hotel with really nice rooms. The staff is super friendly and the pool is just what you need in the heat, with wonderful views of the ocean and people surfing. We were told that the road to Santa Catalina would be a gravel road with lots of potholes but this was not the case, it was very easy to get to and the road seemed newly constructed.
