Lovely property across the street from Capo Beach, a mile or so from the center of Dana Pt. Unexpectedly beautiful for the price - rooms, fire pits, Spanish colonial tiling, and lounge area. Excited for when their resto-bar opens; will complete the picture!

The property was beautiful but the bar is not yet licensed, there are more rooms than available parking and we had requested housekeeping for the second day of our three day trip and it was never done. Also the frame they built around the tv keeps the remote from working unless it is held directly to the screen

If could give this hotel 1,000 stars, I would! The decor was absolutely stunning and reminded us of our favorite places in Puerto Vallarta. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the two fireplaces made for the perfect nightcap and a truly relaxing evening. The staff at the front desk were amazing—friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The amenities were top-notch, including Le Labo shampoo, conditioner, soap, and lotion (the same brand sold at Nordstrom). The view was breathtaking, and to top it all off, there was a record player in the room with our favorite band, Stick Figure, ready to play. It felt like every detail had been thoughtfully curated to create a memorable experience. This will be our one and only spot for future staycations. We can't wait to come back!
