I stayed at this property a few years ago and it was very enjoyable. This time around, the property looks run down, the rooms don’t have AC so it was stuffy. The carpet at the restaurant smells. The continental breakfast had frozen fruit and yogurt. The view is amazing but the property needs some TLC.

Cliff house has an amazing view and a wonderful salt water pool. The room was good and spacious but the shower temperature would rapidly fluctuate between hot and cold. Parking can also be a bit of a problem especially when the attached restaurant is doing dinner service.

Not as nice as I wanted

The rooms are getting a little tired, they could use some upgrading. It was not as clean as I like, cobwebs under furniture, toilet wobbled when you sat down on it. The view was exceptional as well as the pool area. The dining tables were a little close to the pool for my comfort but others did not seem to mind

Great

Food at the restaurant is great. Room looked over the surf and impressive pool. I’ve eaten at the restaurant before and came back to stay in the hotel.

This place is definitely a hidden gem. Me and my husband enjoyed the stunning view especially being right on the ocean. This will now be on our list of places to stay and visit every summer. All the staff were very friendly and kind. They did their best to accommodate us. Thank you for having us and see you again soon’
