Reserve now! Me and my husband loved it we have no complains. EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT! The staff were so friendly especially the lady at the winery room. We stayed at the bay view suite and it was such a AMAZING BEAUTIFUL EXPERIENCE. We did the boat ride as well and the man that assisted us was so friendly and instructed us so well how to drive the boat.

Having never stayed in the area or at this property before, I was hesitant to book a room but gave it a chance. Everything was great from check-in to check out. Clean and well-appointed room that seemed newly refurbished. Nice touches all around… like binoculars for the amazing view of Morro Rock from our balcony, gas fireplace, wine glasses, coffee maker and mugs, mini-fridge, and more. Convenient to all the shopping and restaurants. Would absolutely stay here again.
