The location, right on the Sand Dunes and away from busy Monterey, provided a seclusion and tranquility that is unmatched in California. The hotel facilities were top-notch, with a beautiful Oceanfront Suite that offered breathtaking views of the beach and water. The cleanliness of the room was exceptional, and the staff went above and beyond to accommodate any requests I had. I especially enjoyed the nightly hosted bonfire, which added a touch of magic to my romantic weekend getaway. The breakfast options were limited, but the coffee and fresh orange juice were absolutely amazing.
Absolutely nothing to say about dislikes.
The location was perfect, right next to a beautiful beach with peaceful surroundings. We enjoyed fun activities like the evening bonfire on the beach and driving around in the very funny golf cart. The hotel facilities were top-notch, with a fantastic gym/spa area and a hot tub that was open until 10PM. The views from our deluxe king room were wonderful, giving us a stunning ocean view right from our patio. The staff was attentive and friendly, always going above and beyond to ensure our comfort. the cleanliness of the hotel was impeccable.
Nothing to complain about at all.
I had the best night at this resort, which made my relationship thrive. The stunning beach views and cozy fireplaces in the room set the perfect atmosphere for relaxation. The hot tub staying open until 10 PM was a great plus, and the evening bonfire on the beach was a fantastic experience. The funny golf cart provided a unique way to explore the hotel facilities, which were clean and well-maintained. The staff was extremely friendly and attentive, making me feel welcome from check-in to breakfast delivery. The hotel's location right by the ocean was a dream come true.
No complaints.
The location, right next to a beautiful beach, was absolutely perfect for a quick weekend getaway from the city. The peacefulness of the surroundings was so refreshing, and we loved taking part in the evening bonfire on the beach. The hot tub, which was open until 10PM, was an added bonus and provided a relaxing way to wind down. We also enjoyed driving around in the funny golf cart provided by the hotel. The views of the sea were breathtaking, and the pool and Jacuzzi were clean and well-maintained. The breakfast was delicious, and the staff members were friendly and helpful.
It was all superb.
