The coast is always beautiful but unfortunately it can also be very windy and cold here. Thankfully we could the ocean from inside our room. The pool and spa were under reconstruction and there were a lot more kids than we expected for the price point. Highlights were a super comfy bed, real glasses and mugs in the room, and fireplaces throughout.

The property was beautiful and well maintained. We loved the little lamps leading to the beach at night and the fire kettles were wonderful to enjoy too.

The property was very special! The staff from check-in, turn-down, restaurant, golf cart transportation and check-out were fantastic! The cabins are right on the beach. They have nightly bonfires on the beach as well as by the volleyball court. The lobby is beautiful and inviting. We had a wonderful experience at the restaurant on site too! We'll definitely go back again!

This was the best place in Monterey (Marina). Beautiful room. Very clean. They welcomed our dog. We were right on the beach. Very romantic atmosphere. The staff was very attentive. Well worth the price. Can't wait to go back. This was the perfect vacation! Thank you to everyone at Serenity!
