You get what you pay for. We were looking for a quick overnight place to stay. It's very outdated, Mattresses are on top of a box spring made of bricks, literally. The shower had a lot of black mold. The restaurant is great though! So is the staff!

I enjoyed it, but not sure all would so go with proper expectations. Near cliff that near a quiet beach. Enjoyable beach walk at low tide, fishing, peaceful, decent seafood restaurant but hours are limited to 1:00 to 9:00 PM. No breakfast and no staff found in morning so plan accordingly. Not much else to do. You need to relax and make your own fun. Front desk girl and waitress Daisy was very pleasant. Room was not dirty but very modest and everything seemed worn out. Wifi did not work in room but did in restaurant. Hotel construction stopped leaving it part complete. For the low price and beach location it was all fine with me and with the other guests but might be too rustic for many. During my stay it was quiet, peaceful and there were no problems. So, if you want to fish, or chill and you need nothing fancy it’s an interesting experience.

Camalu is the new Malibu

This little place is great-for people who just want to check out of society for a spell. It’s a bit rustic but for the price as well as the experience I highly recommend it.

Great price, good food, nice people, and wonderful view. Older place, so it’s not the Marriot, but clean, HOT water, and comfortable! I’d certainly stay there again

Bad experience

The web pictures do not show what the actual rooms look like. Very old beds, sheets, towels, furniture, ect... We got there and the rooms were not ready. At the time of check out the front desk was closed. If you are looking for a family hotel this is not the place. I don't recommend this place at all.

Camalu retreat

I visited here many years ago and was hoping to see some big changes by now. The hotel is in just about the same condition it was 11 years ago. Someone has a big vision for the place but has not been able to fulfill the dream so far. I suppose it is because of the secluded location and lack of steady business. I love the place and hope it gets finished some day. I would love to see it in its true grandeur!

The quadruple rooms were not what we expected, specially because we had children with us, but the staff was extremely helpful and allowed us to occupy other rooms that I thought were not available. Afterwards, the experience was perfectly fine.
