This hotel was a little bit away from the main area in Santa Catalina, but walkable to the two main beaches. Nice lazing areas on the property, and access to kayaks and the water. Though no real beach, just a rocky entrance.

Great spot. Walking distance to town, while still have lots of privacy. Views of the ocean from the pool. Wish I had more time here, it was so relaxing.
