Top Santa Margarita Hotel Reviews

Pacific Point Resort

Pacific Point Resort

8/10 Good
"The rooms are newly renovated and very clean. The only draw back is that they are still u set construction. I guess we were there during the time the seagulls are nesting and the smell was pretty strong. It was nice having breakfast every morning. There are fire pits on site and corn hole games. The pool was nice and clean."
