Staying at this hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The rooms, despite having an amazing view of the ocean and surroundings, were very dated and not well maintained. The staff seemed to be arguing over compensation, which left a negative impression. However, the balcony offered a great spot to enjoy the view of the ocean, surfers, and wildlife.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. On one hand, the room offered a great view of the Pacific ocean from the door of my third-floor room, but on the other hand, it seemed like the room had not been renovated since the 1950s. The location was superb, providing direct access to one of the best beaches, making it perfect for a family reunion or a romantic meal. However, the service, while first-rate, seemed to overlook some crucial guest needs at times.
