Have stayed here twice while visiting our son at college. It's a great property. The setting is stunning, as the resort is perched on the ocean where you can see a spectacular sun set. It is not in downtown SB, as some have noted. That's fine by me! While SB is an awesome city, my husband and I personally enjoy being out of the busy part of the area, especially at night. The hotel is wonderful to walk around first thing in the morning while grabbing coffee from the lobby, or at night when the sun has set and the stars are out.
Love the food at the steak house, (get the funky little baked alaska for dessert!) and at the more casual spot on property. Enjoying breakfast while sitting outside and hearing the crashing waves is awesome! Also, as a non-drinker, the sophisticated and unique non-alcoholic "mocktail" choices on the menus are much appreciated, especially while in wine country!
Staff did a great job at check in and out, also providing recommendations for restaurants or area activities. Had a super massage at the spa, and worked out at the gym on property. A jitney cart is a quick phone call to bring up your luggage when leaving. The beds were heavenly, and housekeeping was quick and thorough. After staying here, it would be difficult to go back to the places we had previously stayed downtown.
