A beautiful and peaceful retreat tucked inside of the coastal hillside of Laguna. It has the feel of an upscale cottage resort in the mountains but less than a mile from the beach. The rooms are spacious and wonderfully designed. There is a restaurant and a cafe, both with beautiful views of the mountainside and gold course. The restaurant (Harvest) has a menu of upscale Contemporary American cuisine featuring fresh produce from the on-site garden. The cafe (Ben's Pantry) has espresso drinks, pastries, beer, wine, cocktails and gourmet food dishes. There is a daily happy hour as well at Ben's Pantry with $10 food items like steak skewers, chile lime chicken quesadilla, charcuterie plate, burger and fries, and more.
The pool is heated year-round. The fitness room can be accessed 24 hours and has all the basic machines and resistance equipment. I was very well taken care of here and certainly prefer this place to stay over many of the beach hotels for the amenities, the quality of the rooms and the quaintness.
