Highlights
Dining: Convivo Restaurant with ocean views
Location: Directly on the Pacific Ocean
Sustainability: Certified Green Business
Accommodations: 70 beautifully appointed rooms
“This is a property where location truly dictates the experience, sitting directly across from the beach. The accommodation is comfortable and remarkably clean, with attentive staff consistently present. The on-site dining, particularly at Convivo, presents a strong argument for staying in, though the absence of in-room coffee service is a noticeable oversight given the otherwise elevated feel.”
