Great visit
Visited for 4 nights and would recommend above the other hotels in Santa Catalina. A very relaxed atmosphere with great pool and restaurant area to hang out.

8/10 Very good

This hotel was a little bit away from the main area in Santa Catalina, but walkable to the two main beaches. Nice lazing areas on the property, and access to kayaks and the water. Though no real beach, just a rocky entrance.
