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.
- Valet parking is costly and self-parking requires a 5-minute walk with no nearby crosswalk
- Small bathrooms noted in at least one room
- Slow elevators
- Hallway noise disturbing guests; loud humming from balcony area
- Restaurant understaffed on occasions — one guest couldn't get breakfast service; another found it too crowded to get in
“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.”
“Sunday when we went for breakfast the waiter didn't come in so we had to find somewhere else to eat.”
