Spa Hotels & Resorts in Santa Margarita from AU$210

"I had high hopes as this was a family member’s favorite place to stay in years past. My family has stayed at a different (franchise) place in years past so I was looking forward to something a little more upscale. So let’s begin with what I liked. It is a pretty place, the staff is friendly and the cookies, coffee and tea offered in the lobby were a nice touch. It is close to the shuttle drop for the Thursday night Farmer’s Market too. The bed was very comfortable. Unfortunately, we got a room that was in what my husband called the basement (level below ground) that was dark and smelled musty. The shutters on the window were broken. They were putting new carpeting on the lobby stairs when we checked in, so there is some upkeep happening so maybe they just hadn’t gotten to the lower level rooms for upkeep. I also did not like that after booking this place, we were charged $15 per night to park (open parking lot that includes their restaurant parking) plus a resort fee (I do not like resort fees and find them disingenuous to the consumer as if the price of the room is not sufficient to cover the amenities, like the pool which we did not use)."

"Was very nice. Would come back and stay here."

"The cost was worth it. Such a beautiful place to stay"

"The inclusion of complementary happy hour for a couple of hours and a full breakfast included as well makes your stay a really good value. The property is a little worn but clean and comfortable. We’ve stayed here several times and expect we will again!"

"Great location and very friendly staff."

"Lovely accomodations. We utilized the in town shuttle, the social hour, the breakfast, and the pool and enjoyed it all. The bed was very comfortable. "

"Good location with stairs down to the beach. Nice sunsets. Our room was clean and comfortable. We had an issue with our check in. It’s already a later than average 4pm check in at this property. Our room wasn’t ready until after 5:00. The desk staff complained to us that they had a lot of people checking out and weren’t especially interested in the fact that we were waiting. We had to wait in a long slow line twice before getting checked in. Front desk staff was un sympathetic. Overall the pool was a little on the smaller side and completely packed with families. I think this property is a good choice for families but maybe not so great for couples. Breakfast was fine, nothing fancy but there were basic choices available. "

"Clean and quiet. Hotel looks just like the pictures. Easy on and off from the highway. As a solo female traveler I felt very safe."

"Very sweet staff and clean room nothing nothing fancy but very clean which I appreciate above everything else I would definitely come back to this location"
