Pacific Point Resort

10/10 Excellent
"We really enjoyed our stay. Staff just wasn’t as informative with things around the hotel as I wish they would’ve been was never told where the breakfast buffet was or how to get into the store for the coffee and snacks. We figured it out on our own, but it was still a lovely place to stay. Would I go back again or suggest to my friends to go there I would."
