Reviews and Ratings
I cannot say enough about the fantastic location of this hotel - it's just a block from a stunning beach, perfect for long walks. The rooms are so comfortable, with the BEST room in the hotel, including bunk beds for the kids. The service was top-notch, especially with helpful staff answering all our questions about the area. Dining was simple but enough for a day at the beach. The facilities, like the outdoor heated shower, swimming pool, and hot tub, were just great.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The location is unbeatable, just steps away from the beach and near great dining options. The rooms were spotless and cozy, and the staff couldn't have been friendlier. The only downside was the limited breakfast choices. The pool area was well-kept and delightful. In terms of pricing, it offered good value, but the separate Wi-Fi fee was a bit inconvenient.
The hotel offers spacious rooms that feel like a small studio apartment with a large flat-screen TV, couch, dining table, and fully-equipped kitchen despite being a bit expensive. The service is friendly and accommodating, making for a helpful and easy-going stay. The location is ideal for a relaxing beach visit, providing a beautiful private pool and spa while being close to Aptos Beach for long walks and seashell collecting. The dining experience is excellent, offering a variety of breakfast options at Manuel's. The facilities are modern and well-kept, ensuring a comfortable stay.
