The place is so beautiful and the location is perfect- close to the beach and to the surfing point. Zigor and elli and their kids (the hostess) were so nice and take care of everything. The kitchen is well maintained, and the facilities are good!

I liked it so much, I stayed for a month! I stayed in one of the studio style units that has a bedroom and bathroom down below and a kitchenette and small seating area up above. It was the perfect place to make breakfast and lunch from the comfort of my room and on my own timetable every day. The hotel is about a 3-minute walk from access to the point, which is the premier world-class surfing break here in Santa Catalina. The owner and the housekeeper are both amazing, very helpful, super friendly women. The place is amazingly well maintained, and the AC and power will keep on working regardless of whether the utility company is functioning thanks to the trusty generator on site. You cannot go wrong here.

I loved my stay! The lodge is super cute with stunning views, very clean, and comfortable. The hosts are so friendly and made me feel at home. Hot water and A/C felt like such a nice luxury, and the whole place has a relaxed, peaceful vibe. It’s also close to town. I rented a car, but you could easily get by with the bicycles they provide. Overall, such a lovely stay and I’d definitely come back!
