Loved our stay, beautiful location with amazing view
Victoria, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The property is amazing the rooms could use improvements.
Joshua, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The price is too expense to justify the outdated building and room.
Zheng, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The place is dated, all rooms require a hike, parking is limited, access to food and drink limited on Monday, while the room had reasonably nice interior, you could hear people walking on floor above, so poor design when building, the scenes were beautiful, nice balcony, that's why people are going there
Donald, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location near State Parks, beautiful coast line views from room balcony and restaurant, and heated pool. The only disappointment was that there is only one guest ice machine for the entire resort and it was broken; had to go to the restaurant to request ice for the room.

We eat at the restaurant right before closing. They got us in swiftly. The food was just okay but expensive for what you got. I guess u pay for the location. The room was nice and clean.

Service from the front desk to the valet to the restaurant was top notch. Super helpful and very attentive. Loved the vibe of the whole property! The live music was great and the martinis were great!

Joel, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Not a Hyatt

It’s fine. What you’d expect from a basic hotel. Certainly not the caliber of a traditional Hyatt. The high point was the service at the front des, especially “Austin” was excellent and the service in the restaurant.
Kimberly, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Unique location
SUSHEEL, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Check-in was hectic and not an ideal flow. We ended up parking ourselves and waiting for our room to be ready. Beautiful stay, but the time-share aspect took away from the experience.
Austin, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The beautiful views of the ocean. Rooms close enough to listen to the sound of the ocean waves. Relaxing, clean, and peaceful rooms. Feels rural, yet close to shopping, great coffee, and restraunts. People in the area are super friendly.
