Very clean and fresh. Had a lovely ambiance and the room was a good size. Perfect to wander to the beach or restaurants/bars with free parking. The breakfast was simple but good quality food, teas and coffee. We loved our stay which was unfortunately only for one night.

Quietly elegant yet home-like, my experience of Palihouse was a delight. The staff are all—to a person— kind and welcoming, and the vibe is warm, familiar, well-curated and much like a club of which you’re a long-time, valued member. The room was very spacious, extraordinarily well-appointed, quiet, and comfortable. A private taste of SoCal at its best; I’ll definitely be returning.

The staff were amazingly helpful. Free bike hire, biking is perfect and safe in the area. They also had a happy hour 4.30 to 6.30 where you can have afternoon tea/coffee or wine with light things to eat too... so generous!! Pool was gorgeous and rooms were very very very nice and spacious.
