As soon as we stepped into our ocean view room it was perfect!!! The layout is great, very spacious and comfortable. The front desk staff was amazing Max did a great job detailing everything about the property and Kevin with valet service was very helpful. I definitely recommend having some drinks at Cafe Lido and grabbing breakfast at Costa Kitchen. I will definitely be back soon! Thanks for everything.

The hotel amenities were very nice, and the staff were kind and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable. My only complaint was you had to pay to watch tv in the room. We have never had to do that! Also, they up charge for parking, resort fee, taxes and other fees of almost $95. Not cool.

This is such an amazing property in Santa Barbara right across from the beach. The property itself is so easy to walk to and from as you are exploring. They have two restaurants onsite that are amazing! One is a bar with Mexican food and the other Mediterranean food the staff is all top notch from the cleaners, to the front desk, to the bartenders. The only minor thing I would say is that I wish they had umbrellas for the beach. We were there on especially warm days and fly light and no one wants to pack umbrellas. Make sure to get a room that has a balcony facing the ocean. The pink skies are beautiful!!
