    It's only $40 to get a day pass to the spa facilities which grants you access to a sauna, steam room, cold water plunge pool, hot tub, and a semi-private saltwater spa pool.

    Visited once and I already felt like I could LIVE there. Views are amazing. I've also never been impressed with the lobby of any hotels but this one had great atmosphere! I'd visit again.

    A very amazing place for a little getaway. It's a little bit crowded at the weekend but you'll enjoy it for sure! Lots of good restaurants, amazing pools and awesome places to run. Recommended!

    The food at the spa cafe is WAY better than the poolside or room service food. Love this resort so much. So incredibly beautiful. Kayaking was amazing too!

    Beautiful resort! Bring your four legged friend too (fee required) because the resort is dog friendly. They even provide a sleeping pad and doggy bowl for the pooch.

    Romantic! Stay in a private ocean front bungalow where they light your fire pit every evening and order s'mores & a bottle of bubbly or two. Watch the sunset and then .......... 😉!

    The Vanderlip Suite faces Catalina Island and has a telescope to view passing dolphins and whales. Want to get closer? Cruisve above a nearby kelp forest on a 14-foot, stand-up paddleboard.

    I love that resort is so close to LA but feels so far away. Great for staycations or just lunch by the beach!!

    Do yourself a favor..save up some money, get an ocean view room for a weekend & get away from the LA rat race. Relax, enjoy the views & appreciate life. Worth every penny

    Awesome 'get-away' spot for Angelenos. F&B on property good and not overly over-priced. Take a date for a day-trip or stay the night if you're ballin'. Enjoy.

    Guests are surrounded on three sides by tranquil waves, with Catalina Island across the channel and ocean views from almost anywhere on the property.

    Nice that they allow so much public access. All resorts should be like this for costal access.

    Ask for a late checkout when you check in, so you can sleep in, eat, enjoy the sun and scenery before you leave.

    Prepare to 'fee'd' to death. Beautiful resort, but my goodness, take it easy on the fees. $20 overnight hotel guest 'self park'. They sting you for every nickel possible. Priceline it if you can.
