    A Peaceful Retreat with Unforgettable Flavors

    Our stay in the Premier King Room was marked by tranquil afternoons among lemon trees and a delightful turtle pond. The saltwater pool was refreshing, and the 'Goleta Lemon' dessert is a must-try. Be sure to enjoy the garden atmosphere for a serene experience.

    spacious bungalow
    pacific views
    family-friendly event
    limited family activities

    Staying here with my adult kids was a treat! We loved the spacious bungalows that felt like a home away from home. One afternoon, we enjoyed a leisurely networking event on the terrace, soaking in the Pacific views while discussing our favorite books. It was a perfect blend of relaxation and inspiration.

    In my wife’s opinion, more family-friendly activities would be great.

    Birthday vibes all around!

    Had a fab time celebrating my hubby's bday here! The room was super comfy, and the views were to die for. The heated pool? Not so much—totally freezing, which was a bummer. But dinner at the restaurant was delicious, even if the service was a bit slow. Overall, perfect for a special occasion!

    My stay was enjoyable, with great views of the gardens from my room and attentive staff creating a welcoming atmosphere.
