The views from our room was outstanding. Not just the ocean in the background, but the gardens between the rooms and the ocean bluffs. They also had great lawn furnishings around fire pits. The room was spotless and roomy, bed very comfortable. Staff was very friendly and helpful. There's a very nice Italian Deli nearby.
