What guests say
The Cliffs Hotel and Spa earns overwhelmingly positive sentiment for its dramatic clifftop setting, ocean views, clean and comfortable rooms, and consistently warm staff. The main friction point raised across multiple reviews is parking — valet is the practical option but comes at an extra cost, and self-parking means a five-minute walk with no close crosswalk. A handful of guests also flagged occasional noise, slow elevators, and inconsistent restaurant service as minor but genuine drawbacks.
“The location and view of the sunset was spectacular… The sounds of the spa were relaxing and we were happily surprised by the glowing firepits on the oceanfront lawn.”
“Christine at the front desk was very helpful and gave us a room with a great view. Really appreciate it.”
“The room was great. The Marisol was fantastic. The grounds were extraordinary.”
