The room had a fireplace which was wonderful and the layout of the property was perfect, very cozy. The restaurant was beautiful and the breakfast was outstanding. The only thing that would make it even better would be to have a place to charge my Tesla!

We really liked the room. The pillows were a little too soft. The bathroom was good size. The shower fixtures seemed worn. A water pic would be a nice addition. We had great access to the pool and spa area, which was great. We had dinner at the on site restaurant on Friday night and it was great. Very friendly and helpful staff and great location for golfing at the Bodega Bay links.

Our favorite aspect was the super friendly staff at check in and at the restaurants. We also enjoyed the spacious room, beautiful views, big heated pool, plus sauna and hot tub. Convenient location for visiting Bodega Bay and the surrounds. The Tides Restaurant looks outdated but the restaurant is better than it looks, and has amazing views. And the market in that building is definitely worth a visit. The Bayview was very nice as well for dinner. Continental breakfast at the Tides was solid. There was a serious lack of towels and cushioned seats by the pool. There would be 15 people at the pool and only 3 got a cushioned chaise to lay on. Fireplace in room was cozy but made jolting noises through the night as it turned on and off. All in all we had a great stay and would come back again.

Expansive property with lots of separate buildings. Beautiful grounds. Great pool, spa and sauna. Accessibility was good in our room, but iffy outside; there are few curb cuts on the walkways for a wheelchair or scooter. Great restaurants nearby; one on-site and one across the highway.
