Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The room had an amazing view right opposite the ocean, but there was an issue with the shower drainage. On certain days, they offered different snacks like popcorn and waffles, which was a nice touch. The service was lacking, and the location was small but lovely, with a beautiful view of the ocean. The dining experience with small dishes left more to be desired.
The hotel is in a prime location above the cliffs in Del Mar, offering a lovely view of the ocean. The rooms are very clean and comfortable, yet outside seating is limited. The service is attentive and prompt, ensuring a pleasant stay. Although the location is quiet, which can be a bonus for some, getting a chair early is necessary. The dining experience, especially the fried rice, is delightful. The facilities are modern and well-kept, providing guests with a pleasant ambiance.
I loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms were very clean and comfy, and the staff was super friendly. The location is right opposite the ocean, which is amazing, but you might want to reserve your chair early if you need one. The view of the ocean from the hotel is simply lovely. The homemade Majorcan products in the dining area were a nice touch. Although the hotel is small, it's a great place for a quiet vacation above the cliffs in Del Mar.
The hotel is perfectly situated right on the southern California coast, offering a lovely view of the ocean. The rooms, although dated, are spotlessly clean and provide a cozy atmosphere for a short stay or a longer vacation.
