"spacious room, nice location"

Naturally Pacific Resort

10/10 Excellent

"You will have a great time here! All the front end staff are most friendly and accommodating, including in the spa where I give special kudos to lovely Amberly who gave me a top rate pedicure. All that was sadly missing were massage chairs. Every dish and drink we tried was tasty and well presented, but we sorely missed morning cappos and lattes, and highly recommend adding espresso machines! We were impressed with the appearance and cleanliness of the pool, hot tub, steam, sauna, and change rooms, just wishing the hot tub water were hotter. I must add that it felt odd walking to the aquatic area through the public lobby in bathrobe and slippers. Yikes. We sadly did not have an opportunity to use the mineral pool. Our top floor room was sparkling clean with a partial view of the ocean. We strongly suggest adding a light over the beverage area instead of having to turn on the bright overhead lights which are glaring for anyone remaining in bed or wanting a soft wake up. Overall, we enjoyed our stay very much and plan to return in the spring with friends. Thanks to all of you at the resort for your welcoming approach!"

Black Rock Oceanfront Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay at the Blackrock resort. We rented the studio condo and it was modern, well equipped, and comfortable. We were lucky to have a view from our couch but not all of these units have views. The Currents restaurant was very good and the lounge had a fantastic view of the water. Wished I had brought my swimsuit for the pool and jacuzzi. The staff were great. Plus close to beautiful trails. Could have stayed another day to enjoy the resort."
