A reasonably priced resort in a great location. A great room and very friendly staff. We’ll be back!
Pros:

Great location with the bay adjacent to the property, and also a five minute walk to the ocean. Our room was spacious, clean, well appointed, and comfortable. The option of the little Winnebago food truck was also. Great option for breakfast

Cons:

Parking was a bit tight, but there seemed to be enough spots. Folks may have to walk a bit.

Pros:

Fint läge nära vattnet. Nära till matställen och bad. Fint poolområde och tennisbana.

Cons:

Lite liv och rörelse på parkeringen utanför. Sopbilen kom mellan 7-8 varje morgon och tömde sopor precis utanför vårt rum. Grinden ut från området gnisslade varje gång den öppnades. Störd nattsömn helt enkelt. Hade också kanske trott att det skulle finnas lite mer husgeråd i och med att det fanns ett pentry på rummet. Allt som fanns var två dricksglas och två koppar.

Disappointed and Deceiving Online Photos
Pros:

The amenities are great. The pool, hot tub, towels and drinking water cooler and cups poolside are great. Having the calm beach front entrance is wonderful. However, I stayed in a king room and it does not look as nice as the pictures online make it. The carpet is stained, I killed two medium sized bugs myself, the comforter is very thin and when I arrived it had a very musky smell. There are areas of the room that are very worn. There’s no ceiling light and even with the curtains open because of the direction my room faces it was very dark. They did refund me $50 compensation for having to kill the bugs. The cabanas on the beach need upkeep, some mold on the pillows. For the cost to stay per night, I was expecting top quality like the photos advertise. I’m on a teachers salary and used a gift to cover this cost to enjoy a little summer break. It was not worth the price sadly.

Best hotel in California
Pros:

I hate one of the greatest rooms with a beautiful waterfront view I've ever stated in .Everytime I needed water or coffee they gave me what I needed even went out of their way at their way to get me a few apples for breakfast to take with my medicine. The front desk was kind coming and leaving. I'll Stay there again someday in beautiful San Diego! Josh

Best manager ever
Pros:

I would like to take a moment to recognize Heather for her outstanding professionalism, dedication, and exceptional customer service. From the beginning, she showed genuine care and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.
Even when there were a few unexpected issues, Heather handled everything with patience, understanding, and professionalism. What stood out most was her willingness to listen, take action, and make every effort to turn the situation around.
Because of her care and commitment, my daughters were able to truly enjoy their experience, especially the private beach and pool, which created special memories for our family. Her hard work and attention to detail did not go unnoticed.
Heather is a true asset to the hotel, and her dedication to maintaining high standards and guest satisfaction is commendable. We are deeply grateful for everything she has done and hope her efforts are recognized.

Cons:

At first they could not find our booking because it was through booking.com so they could not find our reservation that started as a headache then we go to our room it is not clean so then we go down there and we talk about it and they offer us an upgrade, which was better. The room was hot and there was only a fan as the AC only went in the living room got locked out of the hotel two times because the battery died on the door.
