Wonderful bougie boutique hotel with gorgeous views of the Malibu pier and surf break. Short walk next door to live music at popular AV Dreamland. The private rooftop deck is absolutely fantastic. We had other plans in Malibu, but could have just chilled at the resort the whole time. We will definitely stay there again.
