Resturant and some rooms were right by the ocean . Ours was a cross the road (via a cute under road tunnle) view from our room, and the restaurant / bar was the perfect moody/stormy west cost ocean view.

Great views. Great location. Loved the space in the lounge and the desk! But the pressure of the water stream in the shower… Next level! So satisfied. Food in the restaurant was great too.

Such an amazing location. Some of the facilities were older but very clean and comfortable. We had an amazing meal and even though we were told the kitchen had some issues the food and the service was absolutely perfect. Would happily stay again...
