We stayed for 3 nights. The property is beautiful, right on the water so you can look at the yachts... keep in mind though that you don't get a water view at the lower price ranges. The rooms are very nice. We particularly liked the little balconies. If you are older you may want to get a room with a... More

You get what you pay for and for the high-end prices charged, this hotel definitely delivers. The rooms are incredibly spacious and tastefully appointed in modern and elegant, yet not overdone way. Lots of windows, wooden blinds, a very large flat screen television, comfy bed, large bathtub and oversize shower stall with glass door are just some of the highlights.... More

I went along with my husband on a recent business meeting.The company that invited us had made all the arrangements and what a good choice. I usually get tired of the same restaurants but not here, service and food was amazing! I visited the spa and again wonderful. Beautiful clean room with all you would expect. Then when I approached... More

This hotel is in an easily accessible location and has a nice marina setting - in fact, there were several weddings conducted on Friday night and Saturday during our stay. There is a health facility and heated pool, with a nice bar and live entertainment. I can't comment on the food, since we didn't eat here. More

This hotel has perhaps the friendliest staff the reviewer has ever encountered. Not just warm and smiling, they went out of there way to anticipate needs. Even without the beautiful water location, the people made this stay very special. More

Good: The location is amazing. It is right on the water. It is a $20 cab fare from John Wayne Airport. There is a small sand/beach area and a dock if you want to swim as well as a lap pool. Additionally, the staff was friendly and helpful. Rooms were nice with comfortable beds, robes and slippers. BAD: The fitness... More

We have stayed here several times and it is a very nice hotel--a much better choice than some of the other options in the area at the same price point. Staff is pleasant for the most part. More

I booked this hotel at the recommenation of a friend. It was one of the best places we have been. The staff was so friendly from the front desk, to the housekeeping, to the valet and bellmen. The restaurant was great. The room was beautiful with the best bed and linens and the view of the harbor was breathtaking. We... More

The hotel sits on the water and every whim is catered. The spa, fitness facilities, bar, restaurant and meeting rooms are all top of the line. We had 60 people at the hotel and are bringing 100 back in the new year. You can not even tell we are in the hotel it is so quiet. More
