Great oasis that felt like we were at a private resort by ourselves even though there were others at the resort. The grounds are beautifully kept and the resort had nice walking paths to enjoy. Great views of the ocean in the distance. Great quiet feel.

We were met with a warm welcome from Naz at the Front Desk. We were also able to get an early check-in. Rooms were clean. Our tub got clogged but maintenance was swift and fixed our issue immediately. We went to Lego land which was only 3 mins away. The Karl Strauss Restaurant was within walking distance and food was great. Definitely recommend and will be back.

This property was in a great location. It was within walking distance to Legoland, and it was very spacious. The beach was a short drive away. The only issue we had was the elevator broke, and I had to make 3 trips to the car with my luggage down the stairs.
