Loved this hotel! It transported you to a jungle paradise while staying there. The rooms were a good size with everything you needed. The pool was small but fun and although we didn’t use it the bay access is nice if you wanna sit in the sand! Super easy to walk around PB and mission beach. Lots of good places to eat and drink and of course the beach is right there! The staff was very friendly and helpful! I would recommend this place to anyone that wants to stay in PB!!

This was a family and dog friendly property. Walking distance to beach and food beverage places. Lot of activities to participate in. On the evening of check in we decided to have dinner at Oceana. After we were seated we waited for 30 min to have a server take our order. They were not that busy and all the wait staff avoided eye contact, so it was very clear they didn’t want to serve us. We left and had to door dash. That was a big disappointment for a restaurant that had a great view.

Everything was great except we didn’t get our room cleaned the first day and we were out of body wash the whole trip. Parking seemed a bit high especially since you had a resort fee as well. Pool is small with not enough seating. Restaurant staff were all friendly and food was good. Loved being able to walk to the beach.
