The room was far away and the facility (pool etc) was small and don’t deserve the resort fee at all. This is not a hotel. I was deceived by the website pictures and false reviews.

Loved the location! Directly across from the beach as well as walking/biking paths for exercising and exploring. Mar Monte has cruiser bikes to use which make it easy to get around town if you don’t want to drive. Loved the coffee service every morning and the gym and hot tub and pool area. Valet crew was awesome as well as the entire staff. Room was adorable and comfortable with a nice patio facing the ocean. We will definitely go back!
