We stayed the first weekend they opened after renovation. We appreciated the Manager reaching out proactively to let us know this in advance letting us know the pool and restaurant weren’t yet available, but letting us know they would set us up on the beach, and their terrace was available for dining and drinks. The staff was awesome! Everyone was so welcoming and provided the best customer service all weekend. The rooms are fantastic and the views are just the best. We can’t wait to come back, and hope to do so very soon!

Hotes.com messed up our vacation
This review is more for Hotel.com rather than the resort. Majority of the hotel is under construction. We never received an email from Hotels.com notifying us of the construction during our stay. It was loud and uncomfortable to say the least. The resort staff were very accommodating and apologetic when they realized we were not informed. We were upgraded to a very large and nice suite. Unfortunately the restaurant, bar and the beach for the resort were closed. We love this resort and have been going there for years and will go back after the renovations. The staff are very nice and provide excellent service.

The view from our room was wonderful. We truly enjoyed being in our room and how easy it was to access the beach. However the rest of the property was out of sorts due to the construction. The staff was very nice, especially the bell staff.

We had a very nice room right on the water and the staff was excellent. I understand that they are under renovation, but I believe that since they have not maintained the beachside resort atmosphere, there should be a rate reduction. The Splash bar and restaurant are not inviting. I'm not a complainer but had to express our disappointment.

Ughhh there’s STILL construction going on. Our view was half ocean/half under construction building with scaffolding and tarps. The entrance is inconvenient and small. We were staying at the big end property up the street (highly recommend) 2 years ago and Surf and Sand was under construction back then! Shouldn’t be charged so much for a place under construction! Not to mention the whooping $45 a night to PARK along all the other ridiculous resort fees and CA special taxes.

They are under renovation. The restaurant is not open. The lobby and parking is confusing. I got the impression they didn’t care. The room was by the pool and there was no privacy. It was loud with children playing in the pool. I’ve stayed here a few times in the past. It’s expensive but usually worth it, not this time. Maybe wait for renovations to be completed before spending the $. Doubt I will do this again.

Absolutely my favorite hotel right now! Amazing views from the room! Look out the window and the ocean is right there unobstructed. Bed comfortable, bathroom nice, and pool very clean and relaxing. The best part about this place is their staff. The customer service is top notch! Everyone to valet, maintenance, front desk, you name it, all employees were so nice, attentive, professional, and friendly. Made for a wonderful vacation.
