Location of the spot is immaculate for the price - right on the beach and in walking range of many good spots. Staff was friendly and the place was clean. Parking is easy to access and gated. Interior was a bit dated but that’s my only complaint.

Good location only

First off the location was the best part of the stay. Right in Pac beach, walking distance to many many businesses and of course the beach. The room was just OK, bed was fine, it had a small fridge and microwave. No AC but for the time of year we went that wasn't an issue. Where I could not overlook was the shower water pressure! It was a trickle and very hard to shower without it taking an hour! Probably worst shower pressure ive seen and we travel 4-6 times per year. The room we were in was in the west wing and you could hear a lot of street noise, partying, traffic etc. At almost $200 per night im not sure all that was worth the location.

The cottages were fantastic. The staff was very helpful and customer service oriented. We were in a regulate room, but we we had plates, bowls, and forks in the room so we were able to bbq at one of the bbqs in the courtyard and not have to purchase those things.
