This is a beautiful property and the rooms are spacious, clean and the ocean view room has great views of the ocean. They’ve several restaurants with very good food. It’s only a few minutes outside of town. The staff is amazing especially Mireisy she’s so helpful and goes the extra mile to make you have a great experience. There’s several shops and restaurants nearby and next door supermarket has everything from liquor to phone charges. If you’re looking for safe, clean, and beautiful hotel Oceanside I highly recommend booking here. I can’t wait to return. I enjoyed my birthday weekend. Thanks to Watermark wonderful staff.

I enjoyed my stay here so much! I came to celebrate my daughter’s bday and they even decorated our room for her special day. I was very pleased with the cleanliness of the room, the staff, the interior of the hotel as well. The location was very convenient to most places (we rented a golf cart) yet not too close to traffic. It’s was the perfect place for us to stay. I would recommend.

Mostly good. Far from other amenities but that is my fault for not doing more research. First morning there I had to be somewhere at 8 am. The front desk promised me a ride there but was a half hour late and then the driver had no idea where to take me after saying she did. She ended up dropping me off a 15 minute walk from where I was to be.

Our one night stay at The Watermark was very enjoyable! We were greeted by the lovely front desk staff who made check in quick and easy. We were given a welcome drink upon arrival which we redeemed at the rooftop bar/restaurant which overlooks the ocean. We stayed in an ocean view room with a balcony and the view was AMAZING! Our room was clean, comfortable, and cool. The hotel is located in a great location with markets, bars, and additional restaurants close by. The hotel is currently under a bit of construction so I can only imagine how wonderful things will be once the renovations are done.

The staffbwas excellent. Front Desk Eldira was always pleasant and helpful booking excursions or making reservations. Stuart and Vanessa were awesome hosts at the rooftop bar and restaurant. We really enjoyed their company and demeanor. The cleaning staff were excellent and always offered extra water, towels, coffee, etc... The building is still under some construction but some of the details were missing. Also i understand their plan is to build a beachfront area with an in-ground pool, that will make a huge difference, a dock would be a welcome addition as well. Overall we had a good time at the Watermark and im sure once construcrion is complete it will be a top contender. Looking fwd to it.

Avoid at ALL costs!!!

This hotel is in cahoots with the San Pedro police to exhort tourists for money. The manager will call the police then you’ll be threatened to be arrested (over something very petty) if you dont pay the police the money. The police then give the hotel (the manager) a kick back. Happened to us and I’ve heard other stories from people that had very similar situation happened. Pictures online of the hotel are VERY deceiving. The roof top pool is an oversized bath tub. So small and useless. No one hangs out up there and it closes at 5pm. The hotel does not have but one ice machine and it is on the rooftop that closes at 5pm so….i had two very large un authorized charges on my card that I had to dispute. It claims ocean front but between the hotel and the beach is a junk yard of hotel remodeling materials you’re forced to look at. If you like being scammed this is the hotel to stay at!! If not, avoid at ALL costs!!
