    Wonderful resort and staff. We felt well taken care of the whole time. The rooms are pristine and comfortable, the setting is beautiful, and it had all the amenities we needed for a relaxing stay. We look forward to coming back in the future.

    Great hotel in a great location

  • Engine customer May 2026

    The resort feels a bit dated, the rooms need renovation. For the price point a bit disappointing

  • Engine customer May 2026

    We loved this vacation! We were pampered. Anything we wanted they provided! We will go back!

  • Engine customer May 2026

    The location is fantastic. The service is not 5 star. It’s really gone down hill. The property is starting to look tired, it’s due for a remodel.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Very nice atmosphere, the beautiful grounds. The restaurants. Everything was perfect we will be back!

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    Property was pristine. Staff was so efficient and pleasant and helped with everyone of our needs.

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    Very nice staff and service and food. Pool was cold but had a warm tub with bubbles coming out. Staff were extremely nice. Facility is old but we were fine with it. Never wanted Seth super modern anyways. Restaurant amazing. We paid extra with fire and ocean view. However they were doing some construction during that time which was already a minus. Also in the morning there were workers in front of our room. We were never informed about this and if we were we would have changed our booking. Very different from what we expected.

    The view and the salad with the heirloom tomatoes . We had two dinners last weekend at the Bacara. The 1st was at the O-Bar...Fish tacos and a salad which was light and lovely. The 2nd, at the Marisella was not so great. Although the location is lovely, I found the dish I ordered, the Clam Vongole to be a disappointment. Very few clams, not much pasta, and a sauce that was heavy and had a buttery type flavor. I also did not like the bread. Again, it was a heavy brick of bread and I only ate the crust

    Excellent location right on the ocean. Beautiful customer service and amenities.
