Oceanfront rooms were truly oceanfront!
A microwave in the room would have been nice.

Took my 7-year-old grandson to this resort for a "beach" and [Monterey] aquarium weekend. He loved it. Oceanfront rooms -- duplexes, actually -- are reached by golf cart. Lots of fun. The view from the room [and the little deck] of the roiling, breaking Pacific was wonderful. Beach access very near -- literally steps away. Lots and lots of stars in the night sky. Wish we'd been there for the Leonid. The pool was undergoing an upgrade, so we were unable to use it. The restaurant was busy -- the one meal I had was just okay. read more

Excellent service - very accommodating.
Starting to look a little tired.

The location is beautiful, the staff is wonderful, and the carts are fun. The room we had is starting to look a little tired - ceramic tile and grout in bathroom is starting to crack.

Wonderful views and a very attentive staff.
Golf carts are nice- but they always had sand on the seats.

The hotel was very convenient for travel to and from Monterey and was very comfortable. My wife and I were there for our one year anniversary and we were overly impressed with the room. We enjoyed lazy afternoons watching movies, enjoying the fireplace, and overlooking the ocean!

It was right on the ocean.
Couldn't sleep because the people above us were too noisy.

Don't sleep downstairs if you like to go to bed early. The people above us didn't settle down until after 2 a.m. Spent five hours trying to get an internet connection. Didn't get an internet connection until the last hour on the last day. They charge an environmental fee of $15 a day. Which I don't mind paying, but didn't hear about it until we had to pay the bill.

Beautiful views, peaceful, quiet and romantic.
No conveniently located ice machines.

Gorgeous views, peaceful scenery, heated pool (year round!), romantic suites and relaxing experience. Great for families or for couples. Close to Monterey, Salinas, Seaside, etc. Loved it! Great value. They could easily charge twice as much! Loved it, and wish I were still there!

The view of the ocean was excellent and the room was large and beautiful.
We were told they only had king size beds at this hotel.

This was a very nice hotel with spectacular views of the ocean. The room had a large deck and a beautiful fireplace controlled by a thermostat. And, the robes in the room were awesome! The only disappointment was the $15 per day environmental fee.

Everything. I will definitely be back and stay longer.
I was not there long enough.

It was great. I don't recommend getting an "ocean view" room. Most rooms do not have an ocean view though it will be close to the ocean as the dunes are really large, so basically save your money on this. But it is definitely a great place to stay for a romantic getaway or a family getaway! We got a Dune view and still was able to see the ocean and was only a short walk down to the beach area. Just beautiful! Also, there are stores and things close by for anything you may need. I am planning my next trip. read more
