White Water is a sophisticated and luxurious interpretation of Cambria and the laid back Central Coast lifestyle. Cambria remains one of the few undiscovered gems along the coast of California. Situated just south of Big Sur and north of Santa Barbara, Cambria is a small town situated directly on miles of undeveloped beach and land along the Pacific Ocean. Just steps from Moonstone Beach, White Water has an idyllic setting and picturesque backdrop. A short bike ride to downtown, guests can easily enjoy all the restaurants and shopping nearby. The lobby lounge offers a wide selection of local wines, craft beers, ciders, and spirits, as well as a selection of small bites and share plates for enjoyment. From a selection of local cheeses and meats, to our signature fondue, Chef Jason Niederkorn has curated a wide selection of favorite offerings.

My girlfriend and I were doing a coastal California road trip to celebrate our 5-year anniversary, and we wanted to stay in Cambria for a night. White Water stood out as one of the most beautiful lodgings in the area when we were looking, and the hotel manager Bryce, made our stay exceptional. He gave us great recommendations for the area and was very communicative when we were booking. Would definitley stay there again!

WARNING! HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE EXPERIENCE. My husband and I planned a decade birthday weekend for 2 in Cambria centered around our premier ocean view suite at White water ( $1000/night). We booked directly on their site, then were directed to Hotels 1 for final booking. We had a confirmed and paid contract then less than 48 hrs before our trip were told that our reservation was cancelled! That "hotel over overbooked" . At that last notice there were no other comparable accommodations available anywhere in Cambria. We had to cancel the entire trip. Other than a "we're sorry" there were no concessions made by this hotel nor an offer to even try for other dates. We were saddened and outraged. Will never attempt to book this hotel again.

We had a great stay at the White Water and would recommend it! Service was excellent. The morning basket provided with coffee and pastries was excellent. This is a small boutique hotel, so dont expect a full service resort, but frankly that was part of the appeal. Super clean room and grounds. Front desk was extremely friendly and helpful.

Absolutely fabulous. Luis was super helpful when our Kauai trip fell through and we needed a place to stay in California. Everything about this place was beautiful with the ocean just across the street. The breakfast basket with muffins and mimosas was decadent. We played cornhole and rode their bikes to town for brunch. Everywhere we looked in the room showed an attention to detail and we will be back.

I’m giving this a 1 star to the misleading managers.
