Loved the view! I wish we had known about the amount of stairs up to our car. That was difficult for us, especially with luggage. Such a gorgeous property- our stay overall was great.

Our room wasn’t ready by check-in time, and when it was we had to stand in a long line again just to get our room keys. Also, for such an expensive hotel I’d expect a cup of coffee to be complimentary, not over $6

The property had spectacular views! The dining experience was average and wasn't fully open on the days we booked our stay (wish we had known that before booking). They only open Wednesday through Sunday so all guests on Monday and Tuesday really don't get the same dinner menu which is actually why we booked our stay here. The room was not what we were expecting, but comfortable nonetheless. The pool and firepit by our room were also closed so our room's view made up for all the minor disappointments. I would stay here again, but would call before booking to make sure I am getting all the amenities we are paying for. Grateful the staff was friendly and inviting!

The most amazing and beautiful hotel I’ve been to thus far. I had an ocean view room and it was absolutely breathtaking! The food at the restaurant was insanely delicious! So much so that we ended up eating there for breakfast as well! Not to mention extremely polite and helpful staff. Highly recommend!!

The property sits high up over the rode with a great view of the coast. However, we were there when the fog was present so we’re not able to enjoy the full effect. The weather was cool and welcoming from the hot summer days elsewhere.

Overall, we had a nice stay. Views from our space were gorgeous! Bed was so comfortable. The kitchen was functional (aside from needing to open the fridge to open the silverware drawer and the trash drawer bring difficult to open). Price seemed a bit high for the quality of the space but the location was great. Staff were helpful with any questions we had.
