Loved our brief stay!
We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful beachfront hotel. Our oceanview room had a terrific balcony with a full water view. The bed was very comfortable, the bathroom was spacious, and the room was huge! We were there on a Sunday night and Monday so the hotel was not very crowded. The staff was lovely. We had a fantastic meal at the in-lobby restaurant called The Set (like a movie set). Breakfast was in the main dining room with a view of the ocean; delicious with very friendly service. We'd love to come back for more than a couple days to walk into town, ride the hotel-supplied bikes, and enjoy time on the beautiful balcony.

Nice location and views, but rooms need an update
Room had nice view but the room is old, dirty and uncomfortable. The bed felt like I was laying on the floor and they have the smallest pillows ever made. Didn’t help either that we were not told that the pool was under construction. Found right after we checked in and couldn’t cancel. The price for 2 nights was over $1k and not have a pool is not ok. Especially when you came out for a nice vacation to scramble to keep your child entertained.

They stay was ok expected more from a resort and at the price we paid. I spent $250,000.00 in hotels in Santa Barbara last year between myself and my employees and probably won't go back there.

Booked as a last minute getaway, and the property exceeded our expectations. Anna at the front desk was a superstar. The Starbucks and bell crew were an absolute pleasure to chat with. We loved the convenience of the beach chair rentals. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
