    impressive grounds
    excellent service
    private patio

    The grounds and amenities are impressive. serene spaces make for a relaxing stay. Michael at check-in provided excellent service, offering a glass of champagne and verifying my room upgrade. The garden view suite was spacious, featuring two bathrooms and a private patio abutting the pool, enhancing the sense of privacy. The club lounge service was delightful, with an array of food options and attentive staff like Mary and Todd, who ensured a pleasurable dining experience.

    neighbor noise

    Had a fantastic time with friends! Enjoyed the fitness center and the beautiful outdoor pool. The nearby golf course was also a hit. Overall, a great escape with stunning views and excellent amenities.

    However, noise from our neighbors made it hard to relax at times.

    The beach access was just perfect! I enjoyed sunbathing while listening to the waves. The only bummer was the breakfast buffet. it didn't quite live up to the price tag. 🌊

    ocean views
    luxurious spa

    Stunning, Stunning, Stunning.

    I was blown away by the breathtaking ocean views from my King Room with Balcony! The spa was my personal oasis—luxurious massages and refreshing body scrubs left me feeling rejuvenated. Plus, the beachfront access meant I could soak up the sun and take long walks along the shore whenever I wanted!

    would recommend ❤️✨

    stunning ocean views
    kind accommodating staff
    superb dining
    required valet parking
    limited independence

    The culinary scene here is truly something to savor! From the in-room breakfast that hit the spot to the superb dining options that wowed our taste buds—it’s clear the chefs know their game. Not to mention the kind and accommodating staff who made our stay feel like a breeze. The stunning ocean views from our room's patio were just the cherry on top.

    While valet parking came with the territory, I would've loved a bit more flexibility. Sure, it was handy texting for my car, but sometimes a little more independence goes a long way in the laid-back Goleta vibe.

    gorgeous gardens
    inviting pool area
    lukewarm water

    The resort's pool area is lovely, though a tad crowded. The stunning gardens and picturesque beachfront add to the charm. Plus, my room had a cozy balcony for sipping wine while enjoying the views.

    Hot water? More like lukewarm water! And don’t even get me started on the ‘gourmet’ dinner that left me hungrier than before.

    ocean-view pool
    attentive staff
    pet-friendly atmosphere
    noise disturbance

    The pools and spa really made our stay special! We loved spending time by the ocean-view pool, and my kids enjoyed the tennis courts. The staff were attentive and friendly. Plus, having our pets along made it all the more memorable.

    In my wife’s opinion, the noise from the adjacent service door disrupted our sleep. It would be great if there were more soundproof rooms for families.

    I had a wonderful time at this luxurious property, with breathtaking sunset views from my room's patio. The culinary scene was truly impressive, with delicious in-room breakfast and superb dining options that delighted my taste buds. The staff's kind and accommodating service made my stay even more enjoyable. However, I wish the room maintenance was up to par, as I noticed some signs of wear in the accommodations.
