Location
Reviews and Ratings
The Cliffs Hotel offers a picturesque setting with beautiful ocean views and clean, comfortable accommodations. While the staff is generally professional and helpful, some reviews indicate a lack of attention to detail and service consistency. The dining at the Marisol restaurant has mixed reviews, and while the atmosphere is relaxing, noise from the pool area can be disruptive. Overall, it's a solid choice for a tranquil getaway, though guests should be aware of potential service issues.
