This place was absolutely amazing. The most dog friendly resort I’ve ever been to. It’s high and it’s on a cliff. There’s a dog beach in a swimming pool a beautiful lawn fire pits. We love staying on the doggie floor. Excellent restaurant high-end very kid friendly absolutely coming back . Very reasonable prices for what you get.

This is a wonderful hotel with access to the beach. The views are stunning and the rooms have baths that overlooks the views. It stays busy so make sure to make reservations in advance. The lights went out while we were there - an unusual event - added some excitement to the visit, but in total a positive experience. We held a business meeting here and the food and service was excellent.

Everyone from valet to front desk was very friendly. Room was clean and balcony with views and of pool and pacific was beautiful. Only stayed one evening and didn’t use outdoor areas but did see personnel vacuum pool and wiping down outdoor furniture before 8 am. Marisol restaurant served a plentiful and delicious breakfast Will stay again if in the area

We spent the weekend at the Cliffs with our two large dogs. The bottom floor of the hotel is not just dog friendly but is a resort for dogs. The room was modern, spacious and opened right outside to several greenbelts for access for the dogs. The room had a large sofa which we made into a dog bed. There is a trail that is wide and takes 2 minutes to the beach. There were multiple off leash beaches that weren't mobbed with dogs. The hotel staff were over the top welcoming offering free cocktails when we walked through the door and went out of their way suggesting a spectacular restaurant(Marisol) right next door. The view overlooking the ocean was greet and the pool was large. The fitness room was also large and had all types of machines.

We just returned from an amazing stay. From the moment we arrived we were greeted with such warm and friendly staff. They treat you like royalty. The room and the ocean view were amazing! We have stayed here many times and it never disappoints! Comfortable beds, amazing view, friendly staff, and great amenities make the Cliffs a perfect getaway. Enjoyed a gorgeous sunset from our oceanfront balcony. Sitting by the fire pits and sipping a cocktail from the Marisol was very relaxing as well. It was the perfect Valentines getaway. We enjoyed our stay and are booked again as we can’t wait to return next month to celebrate our 13th wedding anniversary!
