Great get a away
Great location. Great hotel and restaurant. Sorry to say, most eats around are outdoor, so when the heat is consistently over 100 degrees, their indoor seating was AWESOME.
Loved the sunsets from the bay side.

Best sunset.
Beautiful location - the restaurant has wonderful food. Enjoyed our stay and the sunset. Pro tip - the best part of the sunset is after the sun goes below the horizon, give it another ten minutes.
