What to expect: A family-friendly place, the resort offers end-of-the-road seclusion—no buildings east or south—and padded lounges for comfortable sunning with views of cliffs and ocean. Amenity highlights: A three-section family pool includes a large children's area and swim-up bar, with an adjacent 15-person spa offering social soaking. A second pool also includes a children's area and a swim-up bar. Hidden away for adult seclusion, a third pool produces waves at the push of a button for resistance lap swimming. The pristine beach offers expansive jogging and walking space, but the Pacific is not safe for swimming here due to strong undercurrents.
Insider tip: Next to the adult wave pool, a large barbecue grill and food preparation area provides guests an opportunity to grill outdoors.
