    What a beautiful place to stay. We were here at the end of the Covid quarantine, for Memorial Day. It’s not flashy but the oceanview is breathtaking. The hillside and Rincon Island are cool to look at. Each day we say pods of dolphins swimming back and forth. It was like a show. There were plenty of tables and chairs to eat or lounge at. The pool was not open, but it wasn’t missed. The continental breakfast was satisfying. …
