Absolutely my favorite hotel right now! Amazing views from the room! Look out the window and the ocean is right there unobstructed. Bed comfortable, bathroom nice, and pool very clean and relaxing. The best part about this place is their staff. The customer service is top notch! Everyone to valet, maintenance, front desk, you name it, all employees were so nice, attentive, professional, and friendly. Made for a wonderful vacation.

It looks amazing in pictures, but the rooms have old dust in every corner which is very yuck, I had to plug something and moved the night stand and the dust came out flying, you look at every corner and is dirty. The view was fantastic from our room and the ocean sound was great!!!. The in room dinning was fairly fast and the wait staff very nice and helpful, and we decided to eat in our room as the hostess for the restaurant was so snobbish and standoffish because we did not have a reservation. We were willing to wait, but chose to order in room service as it was not a welcoming welcome as paying guest of the hotel. That night only got worse as there was a false fire alarm at 2:something!! Yes, 2:00AM and nobody came to tell us it was a false alarm, we stood outside our room with other people trying to figure that out. When we checked out and I mentioned it, the front desk person acted like he had no idea. The other disappointment was that my electrical car could not be charged (either night) as they "only charge Teslas" which I found infuriating, in LA there is never an issue with charging at all hotels, so they need an adapter as the prevalence of so many more EVs will be a reality and the review may ensure the hotel invest in a $20 connector that I now carry. The pavlova dessert was fantastic. So, is the sound of the ocean, the view, and Pavlova enough for me to stay here and spend thousands of dollars at this resort again you ask when there are so many choices?

The location is beautiful and our room had amazing view. Unfortunately, when we entered room, it smelled like cigars. In the following days, with balconies right on top of each other, we smelled cigarette smoke, cigar smoke and weed. We called front desk twice, and although nice, they pretty much said that they would investigate but hard to resolve. Room was only cleaned if we requested. Cleaning wasn’t great. Sheets had stains, shower leaked and sink faucet leaked. Although room furniture was in good shape, it was outdated. As all my friends recommended this hotel, it was nice for a week but not amazing. I realize some facilities were closed due to covid, like spas and limited restaurant use, however, I wasn’t so much bothered by that as other guests that didn’t social distance. People above us (we were on seventh floor) hung very wet clothes on their balcony so it caused puddles on ours. As I said, you can’t beat the view, but most definitely not worth what we paid.
