Hard to say what is best about this place! Highly recommend! The vibe is amazing: kindof retro refreshed? Very California! From the music to the pool area, welcome drinks in the lounge, and super beautiful and comfortable rooms: there is a calm, positive energy. Our 20 year old daughter was taking pictures of the decor because it is so cool. The location is perfect: right near beach, walking paths, gorgeous views, restaurants, art museum, shops. The hotel staff are welcoming and very polite and helpful. Loved by our whole group ages 20-85.
