Thirty-seven acres of forested grounds surround this 1877 farmhouse and cottages on a hillside above the Pacific Ocean. Enjoy the roaring fire at the bar/lounge with live jazz on select days. Most of the upscale bathrooms include heated flooring. This was the location of the 1978 film "Same Time Next Year," which runs continuously on a loop on one of the hotel's channels. Spectacular ocean views grace most of the guest rooms.
Did not meet all AAA rating requirements for locking devices in some guest rooms at time of last evaluation on 04/11/2017. Facilities, services, and décor characterize a mid-scale property.

Awesome place will be back for more rest and relaxation. Covered parking for some rooms, fireplaces, flat screen tvs...the rooms are pretty stellar. Restaurant exceeded expectations and quality was on par with price points. Staff was apologetic they couldn't offer a late checkout. Great experience overall
Pros: On a nice piece of property, great rooms, restaurant onsite, quiet, ocean views (and good ones), serene
Cons: No availability of a later checkout time. Inadequate handicap parking during busy hours at the lobby, 2 cars with no plates/placards and a golf cart parked in the 2 handicapped spots on arrival.

Pros: Attention to detail in the rooms with many nice touches. The magnificent views!
Cons: Disappointed that the bathroom double pocket door and sink stopper were not repaired when I reported them to the front desk in person. The problem with the double door was one side would not close or latch properly which gave us no privacy.

Pros: The room is heated by a fireplace, so it is cozy. The bed linens were luxurious. It is right on the coast, with beach access, and it was delightful to get out and walk. The bathroom was very sleek and modern, and the in-room coffee was upscale.
Cons: No clue on what the three knobs in the shower did. Because rooms are separate little cabins, it took all day for the room to be serviced, but the maids were very sweet. The reception desk staff looked bored and were not friendly.

Pros: The view is amazing.
Cons: I felt the hotel was trying very hard to be a 4 star hotel. The building I stayed in was the main building. The room had very old carpet. The bathroom was nice and new yet there was one very small light. If you took a shower at night you can barely see.

Pros: This was a little slice of heaven! From the ocean view to the balcony to the fireplace to the comfortable bed and updated decor, we could not have been happier with our room. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the location was breath-taking.
Cons: I cannot think of a single thing that I didn't like or would change. Excellent all the way around!

Pros: Room was very comfortable and we had a great view. The location is stunning. We had breakfast at the restaurant which was delicious.
Cons: Getting to the room was a bit of a challenge. There are several buildings and some narrow driveways to navigate. Additional brighter signage is needed to help guests navigate to some buildings/rooms. It was a bit confusing.

Pros: Location is very nice.
Cons: They tried hard to make room nice but it did not meet our expected standards for a 4 star hotel! The worst experience was the smell of mold or whatever when first entering the room. It had some nice features but overall fell considerably short.

Pros: Nice quiet location with plenty of green space to walk around and enjoy the scenery.
Cons: The queen bed rooms are in desperate need of an update. Mismatched furniture that has seen way better days. Felt somewhat like the hotel just tossed in the old used furnishings from other rooms.

This is an unbelievably beautiful spot on the coast. The resort is quiet and understated. You feel like you are on a retreat.
Pros: The location was everything for me. I loved the view from my deck and windows so much that I didn't really feel the need to leave the resort at all. I did walk around the property to explore, and saw deer right ahead of me. I plan to go back and stay in the same cabin.
Cons: I was there over a long holiday weekend and didn't realize I had to make a dinner reservation so far in advance. As a result I didn't get to eat in their restaurant. Wifi is provided, although spotty at times, as there is no cell phone coverage.

Will definitely return - beautiful...
Pros: Very charming main building with great houses/apartments/rooms spread out across the property all with amazing views of the pacific. Parking is ample and the restaurant is great with a variety of food and wine. Nice selection of teas in the rooms and a lot of outdoor spaces to enjoy the scenery. My daughter and I hope to return with family members and stay in one of the larger units and stay longer than just one short night :) Seems like a wonderful place to have a family reunion or a vacation with friends.
Cons: I would have liked to have had the balcony area swept free of the tree pods prior to checking in, but in all fairness they would have landed on the outdoor bar area that we were above. Not a big deal but it felt a little dirty while we were enjoying our wine, cheese and bread from nearby Mendocino.

Glamping instead of a 4...
Pros: Beautiful property and the views are amazing. The finishes are nice and very upscale. However, the housekeeping staff is under staffed and doesn't have time to clean the rooms of continuing guests. We had to call 3 times for just towels - never mind making up the room or dumping the trash. The freezer door was broken so water leaked everywhere. Due to lack of stafffing the maintenance is not ongoing and it is like glamping instead of a 4 star resort. Too bad.

Unacceptable
Pros: Not much. Property is in ill repair. The food was the worst I we had on our entire trip.Starting our Trip down the coast from Victoria Canada. This place has gone down hill so much it doesn't deserve a star. This is my 5th Stay and our last. They would do good to have it turned into a youth hostel.Truly a disappointing experience!!!!!!
Cons: Everything. Including when adavised that we didn't enjoy our stay and they did not seem concerned about our dissatisfaction. So it would appear that they are familiar with guest responding such as ours.

Phenomenal Resort. 10/10
Pros: The view is AMAZING! The resort restaurant was phenomenal. Comfortable bed and very friendly and efficient staff. I had been there for two days and asked to add a romance package, and they did it with no issues at all. They even confirmed on the phone without being specific in case my wife could hear so it could remain a surprise. It was our honeymoon, and we were there for seven days. As we were leaving she made me promise we would come back when we could.
Cons: Nothing. My experience was incredible.

Gorgeous area of the coastline
Pros: Nice view and luxurious bathroom.....a heated floor! Good lighting throughout unit. Dining room view spectacular and staff exceptionally friendly. Our unit was very large with a fireplace and a deck.
Cons: Everything is on a steep hill........we parked under our unit and hauled everything up a flight of stairs. Driveway to units is 2 way on a very narrow single lane road......lots of pulling aside and/or backing up to accommodate other travelers. The shower had both an overhead and a hand-held sprayer.....we could not figure out how to get the water to come out of the upper shower head "on purpose" and "warm".....by accident and freezing cold we had down pat.

Pros: Restaurant was good and service excellent.
Location, location, location!!!!
Cons: Housekeeping did not have act together. Not trained well probably. Glasses not cleaned or replaced...towels were good but not consistently given over our 3 day stay, coffee bar in room not replenished until we asked, TV was not working until we asked for them to fix it.
We called front desk to see if we could extend our stay one day and they never responded.
Front desk gave me someone else's bill upon checkout but my room charge was correct.
The restaurant staff was great.

Disappointed.
Pros: This 36 ac site is spectacular - the best by far in the area.
Cons: Sadly, the facilities are a shell of their former self. The central building/dining room is drab, boring, barn-like. The entire facility needs lots of money. The grounds are potentially gorgeous but too big for the current staff. The staff seems uncertain and poorly trained. I was there three days but housekeeping failed to find me.
