“The position here is quite spectacular, placing one directly on the water's edge with Cannery Row and the Aquarium within easy walking distance. It's understood that the spa treatments are exceptionally good, and I found the ocean views from the rooms, particularly when coupled with the sound of the waves, to be deeply restorative. One gets a true sense of place, immersed in the coastal atmosphere.”
