8/10 Good
"Beautiful view of the pacific from our ocean view room. Had to go through the pool to get to the room. Luckily there were very few swimmers Staff very helpful. Parking can be a challenge. Also our bed had a nightstand only on the right and lighting was not the best Small waterfalls and bright flowers really impressed my wife."
