Some of the most requested rooms, are those with a balcony (the 2nd floor and higher with full ocean views) or with a secluded patio area with a fire pit & complimentary smores kit (first floor with full ocean views). This is a very well laid out hotel property that overlooks the gorgeous Pacific Ocean, for the majority of the time that the guests are on the hotel’s premise and offers a resort-like ambiance. There is plenty of meeting space available both indoors and outdoors, that can accommodate small groups of 10 to large events for 500 people. The property also a few restaurants on property to meet the culinary taste of its guests. There is a great Spa and Beauty salon on property, a full service Spa and workout facility.
