Am staying at the property now. We have been staying here at least once a year for about 10-15 years. While we had a poor experience last year, this stay has proved to be excellent. I contacted the GM about a week before our arrival and requested a suite within a specific range of room numbers. He promptly responded and we did get one of our desired rooms. A bottle of wine was in our room on arrival. This property consists of about 48 hotel units and around 100 timeshares. As I recall, the town would not allow 100% timeshares. From what I have researched, the property appears to be owned by Marriott but operated by Hyatt. We're in an Oceanview Townhouse Spa Suite. The rooms and suites are not Four Seasons quality but the prices are Four Seasons prices. This is an old property that has chosen to keep a rather contemporary rustic style. The suites are very clean and comfortable but the furnishings are of mediocre quality. There is a full kitchen including full sized refrigerator, microwave, and a four burner stove with oven. These units would be unsuitable for the handicapped as it's a 2 story unit with very steep stairs down to the bedroom. The views are wonderful, although some units have much better views than others. Some of the basic rooms are alongside the road into the property and would be subject to noise. Globalists do have complimentary breakfast in the restaurant overlooking the ocean and can choose anything on the excellent menu, the Point Lobos being my favorite dish. Overall, a good stay and a responsive GM .
