Everything about this hotel was great. except.......we paid a lot of money for the top floor suite...probably 3 times the $$$ compared to a regular room. It was a special visit for our anniversary and a birthday weekend. The suite was awesome with great views, but not anywhere near worth what they charged. One other thing. If you are staying here and paying this amount of $$$$ and sitting by the pool, there should be staff to serve you out there. You have to get out of the pool, make a phone call to the restaurant (which is a 3' wall away from the pool) and wait for a waitress to bring your drink, with a bill. Every drink was via this process. Really? ever heard of an open tab? anyway, it was no worth the $$$. we will go elsewhere if ever in SB again.

Have been here many times and enjoy it. The valet/bellhop guys work their butts off and are very friendly. The restaurant downstairs is delicious and always makes the place smell amazing. This time we stayed in a penthouse suite which was pretty expensive. The views were amazing! 10/10 since you are up high on the 4th floor. Only complaint is the fact you only get a small mini fridge. Could easily add a small kitchenette to the suits. Either way we will be back in the future. Likely just stay in a regular room though. Beautiful area and property.

Very nice location, an excellent place for going to the beach or for a run! It is clean, comfortable and very family friendly. My only complaint would be that there is no coffee machine on n the rooms. Otherwise great place to stay.
