"A total piece of Heaven. The trip was to get away for a few days to reset n breathe in the ocean air. The hotel was more than could have hoped for. The lobby is all glass with a spectacular view of the ocean as it sits on a high bluff. The room was a Premier Queen with an ocean view, and balcony n was absolutely divine with lots of fun extras. Several sitting areas with fire pits n again the views were breath taking. The pool n hot tub were excellent. The grounds were beautiful and very well maintained. They have a breakfast buffet n an “market” if quick treats are needed. Door dash delivers, so you don’t ever have to leave. Everything was so perfect an additional night was booked. The check in was flawless. This hotel will be our new family get away."
