Loved our brief stay!
We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful beachfront hotel. Our oceanview room had a terrific balcony with a full water view. The bed was very comfortable, the bathroom was spacious, and the room was huge! We were there on a Sunday night and Monday so the hotel was not very crowded. The staff was lovely. We had a fantastic meal at the in-lobby restaurant called The Set (like a movie set). Breakfast was in the main dining room with a view of the ocean; delicious with very friendly service. We'd love to come back for more than a couple days to walk into town, ride the hotel-supplied bikes, and enjoy time on the beautiful balcony.

They stay was ok expected more from a resort and at the price we paid. I spent $250,000.00 in hotels in Santa Barbara last year between myself and my employees and probably won't go back there.

Booked as a last minute getaway, and the property exceeded our expectations. Anna at the front desk was a superstar. The Starbucks and bell crew were an absolute pleasure to chat with. We loved the convenience of the beach chair rentals. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The bed was horrible! We both woke up with our backs killing us!
Front desk staff not helpful when asked about restaurants. Hallways were noisy with kids running back and forth at night and morning.

Our stay was wonderful! We had a king-sized bed with a patio. The staff was polite and helpful. The only tiny problem was I looking forward to a dip in the hot tub, which was under construction and I wasn’t made aware until we arrived. The dining options were delicious if you don’t feel like venturing out. You can’t complain when the beach is just across the grounds. It was a peaceful vacay!

Hotels.com do better!!!
The pool was closed and we did not know that. We made this reservation in August and Hotels.com never sent us an email to update us on the status. Very very disappointing.
