The best hotel on the Cove! We booked ocean front room and could not be happier! Room was clean and spacious, hotel grounds were impeccable, pool, spa, swings. We truly felt pampered and did not want to leave. We will be coming back again:)

Pros (+) Breakfast was ok not great (considering COVID) but the coffee was very good. Nice large size rooms. Staff was pleasant. Parking was easy and we could use the charger for our electric car!
Cons (-) the rooms overlooking the pool are very close together, not much privacy. The balconies are really small only room for two. nice views. Could not get any ice they were working on the machine (only one in the whole place) the one night we were there. We were not able to get into our room until late afternoon.

Pros (+) Great location, with private beach access. Every room is facing the water and has a balcony so you have the most relaxing and amazing sunset/sunrise views. You're a short drive to the shell beach restaurants and to grover beach's downtown area with more great bars and restaurants. 10 minutes to the dunes. Highly suggested, we will definitely be back :)
