It is very easy to have a beautiful property, but it takes something special to have and maintain excellent staff. I’ve been staying at this hotel for many years, and it’s nice and very welcoming to see the same staff over the years. This time I was welcomed by Jesus, Manny, Emerson, Javi and Apollo.

Charming oceanside hotel newly remodeled with professional staff and gracious valets (especially Jorge, Emerson, and Andrew). From the moment we arrived we felt welcomed and easily checked in from the front desk. By accident our teenage son forgot some essential toiletries and they were able to provide them immediately including toothbrush, toothpaste, and deodorant. The rooms were clean, spacious, and contained a safe and refrigerator. I was a little surprised that there were no coffee supplies, however, coffee/tea/hot chocolate were provided complimentary in the lobby each morning. Exterior back patio was spotlessly clean, decorated beautifully for the holiday season, and offered a heated pool. Our family enjoyed the outdoor pool for the afternoon even though the air was chilly - pool was toasty. Only drawback - we wanted to enjoy watching some professional football while outside at the pool area and there are no TV on the property outside of your rooms. No biggy! Definitely a place to stay if in the area. Read less

Oh the food at the restaurant was great too! Great brunch and excellent service.… Read more
