Room, Ocean View (, Tub)

This room faces the Pacific. The resort sits on a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean near Dana Point Harbor, so the outlook is the coastline and open water rather than a car park or courtyard.

The room has one king bed and sleeps up to three guests. The king is dressed with Egyptian cotton sheets, a down comforter and a pillowtop mattress, with hypo-allergenic bedding available. It suits a couple well, or a small family that is comfortable sharing one room. The minimum age to check in without an adult is 18.

The private bathroom has a rainfall showerhead and a shower/bathtub combination. It also has a roll-in and transfer shower, a height-adjustable showerhead, a grab bar by the toilet and low-height electrical outlets. Bathrobes, slippers, free toiletries, soap, shampoo and a hair dryer are provided. Toothbrush and toothpaste are available on request.
