This place is a gem with a few small issues. It's an older property- which is fine. Staff was all wonderful, restaurant is great. Only complaints. 1.pillows smelled a bit like a guy who had been in the sun all day. I just used a towel to cover it. Probably would have been remedied if I'd ask so NBD. 2. WIFI was abysmal. As someone who needs it to work was a bit of a problem. Other than that, had a relaxing couple of nights.

A nervous start turned into a nice stay. When we arrived we fully realized how secluded this property is. This can be fine if you rent a car or plan on not leaving, but if you want to get into Santa Barbra or Ventura, a Uber or Lyft will cost you $140-150 to pick you up!!! ANYTIME. It's only $30 or so to be dropped off here, but VERY expense to be picked up from this location. This caused a problem so we last min rented a car. We got an ocean view room and THAT is what made the stay 100% worth it. The window was huge and the view was incredible. few cons... the room was worn down (example: leaky sink) and the headboard was so squeaky every time we sat or moved at all on the bed it was very loud. The staff was very kind and helpful and the food was good.

The hotel rented for us a room for over $300 per night and did not even have a working bathtub. When we inquired about the fact that the plug was not suitable to stop the water from flowing out we were advised to use a washcloth to prevent the water emptying out! The toilet seat was so old that the paint was worn off. Breakfast did not include eggs or protein and the toaster was not functioning. Finally, the sink faucet was corroded and came off its base. So in conclusion: our stay was way overpriced and we shall not return!

Whole place needs a refresh. Curtains were fraying, paint was peeling in bathroom. Some mold around tub/shower. Staff were pleasant and view is lovely Location was closer to highway than I anticipated. If it werent for the crashing waves sounds at night, the highway noise was have been bad.

I absolutely loved my stay! Every room has a beautiful ocean view, and the heated pool was a fantastic bonus. I was pleasantly surprised with a free upgrade to a deluxe room, which made the experience even better. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming throughout my visit. I highly recommend checking this place out—it's truly a gem!

Pros: Excellent location, peaceful ambiance and away from city crowd, nice restaurant on site with amazing sea view and great food collection, Clean heated pool, friendly staff. cons: 1. Reception never picks up call. I read many complaints regarding check-in problems after 6 pm. so on our check-in day we messaged and called this number +1-805-585-0677 many times to update them. But no one responded . Fortunately we arrived by 6 pm and the reception was open. 2. The shower space was really small , and no hot water.
