We stayed in the tiki suite, although the style may be a little dated, it fits with the tropical theme. The view was breathtaking, the tub was amazing and we had lots of room with parking right below. The pools were not crowded and loungers were always available. The loungers are on the pool deck with uninstructed views to the sand and ocean down the grassy hill. It was like being on the beach without the mess of the sand. Steps go right down to the sand. The waves are rougher on this beach. They break very close to shore so they don’t work well for buggie boarding, but they are fun to play in and you can easily go beyond the break to just bob in the water. It seriously is such a beautiful beach. We walked to their look out, played tennis on the courts, walked to the waterfall near the property, across the stream and climbed down to our own private beach. While there we went to Montezuma falls for the day (about 20 min drive) and we buggie boarded that beach. We also took surfing lessons at hermosa beach (about an hour away). The ceviche was really good pool side, but the guacamole and chips were way over priced. Breakfast was decent. We didn’t eat at the on-site restaurants because I found places with better reviews.
