Pernell Aug 25, 2026 01:24:22 AM
Summary: Too much construction going on.
Ryan Aug 6, 2026 02:32:55 AM
Summary: Nice place. Super uncomfortable beds. Very firm. Didn't sleep both nights.
Paul Aug 4, 2026 02:02:34 AM
Summary: Hotel was under construction at our time of stay, we were not made aware at time of booking. Only 1 overpacked small pool with no chairs available. Lobby is practically non existent. Not an experience we were expecting from a resort. Local beach was far, no hotel transport, overcrowded and water was dirty with garbage. Overall the area is overhyped. We took no photos of anything as there was nothing impressive. Will not be visiting again when in California.

Summary: I was not made aware prior to booking that the hotel was under construction. There was no adult pool. I had planned a romantic weekend away with my boyfriend and I ended up next to the bumping music of the kitty pool at 9 AM with the splash zone and Art center under my window. I booked a Harborview room, but that side of the hotel was under construction. It was a disaster and the food at the restaurant was mediocre at best.
Karen Jul 22, 2026 09:44:51 AM
Summary: The room was great. Only regret was the third floor had no balcony. Food, staff and pool were fabulous. Several staff went out of the their way to help when we asked a question. Will be back.
Lynn Jul 20, 2026 04:24:31 AM
Summary: The staff and customer service is everything and more! Food and Service perfect! This hotel is under construction! No mention of it when booking. Give this hotel time and hopefully next summer it will be nice.

Summary: It was under construction, and I was not aware when I booked it
Kouharik Jul 1, 2026 03:17:15 AM
Summary: Based on all the commotion and the construction, I feel like the hotel was actually downgraded. Due to that inconvenience, I was expecting this discounted rates. We didn’t really enjoy the view and the resort to the fullest because of the all the noise of the construction.
Stacy Jun 25, 2026 02:18:16 AM
Summary: Major renovations going on that disrupted my plans a bit - mostly due to the pool situation and that the main one was closed off (under construction along with half of the property) The kids pool was the only one open and f i l l e d with screaming kids. Overall, the room was nice but the walls were very thin. Room next to us sounded as if they had a family of 5 with screaming kids, although it was one very loud, unruly child that the parents refused to discipline. The kid was screaming and running up and down the halls and when i asked them to control their child as “everyone isn’t on vacation and some of us have early morning meetings” the obnoxious father got belligerent with me. I contacted mgmt about this issue and they dealt with him. We had another reservation to stay at this property on our way back home later this week, but I canceled it and booked a room elsewhere. It’s not a property that I’ll be staying at again as it’s too loud and is more of a family property. Mostly families who let their kids scream and run rampant like they own the place. No thank you

Summary: The hotel is under renovation and we were not notified about it. I've stayed there several times but this time we were very frustrated for not been able to enjoyed it as advertised. And no discount for the inconvenience. It is a lovely property but to visit only when the full renovation is complete
