"Reception personnel at Brisas del Mar were welcoming. Good location within walking distance to the beach and not too far from the freeway. The continental breakfast had a good variety, especially bread and pastries. The suite we stayed in was large with a kitchenette. The building was on the older side, like many hotels in the area, but the room was clean and spacious. The staff was very friendly, even the cleaning crew smiles and greets you. Kudos to the administration because all the hotel...

"Our stay was wonderful! We had a king-sized bed with a patio. The staff was polite and helpful. The only tiny problem was I looking forward to a dip in the hot tub, which was under construction and I wasn’t made aware until we arrived. The dining options were delicious if you don’t feel like venturing out. You can’t complain when the beach is just across the grounds. It was a peaceful vacay!"

"This was my second stay at the Lavender Inn by the Sea. I even had the same room by request. As a woman travelling on my own, I feel safe and comfortable here. It is quiet at night and close to the Amtrak Station and bus routes. I was sorry to find the bikes had been replaced with high-handlebar cycles that proved difficult for me. Other than that, all went smoothly and I would be happy to stay here again."

"The Ritz Bacara is beautiful. Driving in to the courtyard and being greeted immediately. Valet, bell service and check-in were a breeze and set the tone for relaxation and ease. Tiana was delightful. Our room was lovely. We took advantage of all 4 restaurants on property and were spoiled at all of them. Grant at San Setto, Dulce and Lucy at the Bistro, Joe at Angel Oak and Claire at the O Bar. Could not have had better service and the menus are diverse, the food is fantastic. We also enjoyed a...
