Ocean Pacific Lodge

Ocean Pacific Lodge

8/10 Good
"Good overnight only. The rooms could have better pillows and king size. The pillows were flat standard and 4 per king bed not enough. "

La Bahia Hotel and Spa

La Bahia Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent
"We booked our stay through Expedia, expecting a room with a balcony and an ocean view. Unfortunately, our dining experience at the High Tide restaurant was disappointing. From the hostess who seated us to the uncomfortable low seating at our table, everything felt subpar. The food had no flavor at all, especially when compared to their sister property, Bernardus, in Carmel Valley—there’s simply no comparison. On a positive note, the pool and staff at the hotel were excellent and very accommodating. However, while the room was decent, it did not justify the additional price we were charged for our two-night stay."

10/10 Excellent
"I had no problem parking. Staff was very kind. Bring your own coffee/coffee pot if you want AM coffee. You only get 2 tiny bars of soap. Walking distance to the beach is just a few minutes walk! The room was very clean. Bed comfy. AC at night was perfect & kept the room cool. No noise from upper level which was nice! It was pricy for the weekend but overall I was very happy. "

"Overall the hotel is decent. The room was clean and spacious. The property is ok but could use some up-keep. Didn't care for the coffee from the machine in the lobby, it tasted like chemicals, maybe from the cleaning process."
