Staying at this hotel was a mix of wonderful experiences and a few minor drawbacks. The private patio and roof terrace provided stunning views out to the Pacific Ocean, but there was some noise from building work in the room above. The staff at the spa were friendly and attentive, and the rooms were serviced regularly and spotlessly clean.
