Fabulous Balcony Views

“I stayed in the Deluxe Balcony suite and it was absolutely fabulous! The double balcony doors opened right onto an very nice view of the beach and pier. With the doors left open at night, I could fall asleep to the soft sounds of crashing waves and distant sea lions. It truly felt magical!” view full review

Luxurious Spa Tub

“In the Luxury King Spa room, I was thrilled to find a giant spa tub. It wasn't just any tub; it had jets and colorful lights that turned the experience into a mini disco! After a long day, soaking in the tub was incredibly relaxing and the perfect way to unwind.” view full review

Delicious Continental Breakfast

“Each morning, I enjoyed a good continental breakfast with fresh fruit, bagels, and pastries. I loved bringing my orange juice back to my room to sip while watching the stunning view from my balcony. It made the start of each day feel extra special.” view full review

Comfortable Sleeping Arrangements

“The bed in my room was one of the most comfortable I've ever slept in! Combined with the very nice bedding, I slept like a rock each night. The peaceful sounds of the ocean added to the relaxation, making my stay feel serene and restful.” view full review
