"Nice family trip to the beach. The condo was spacious and the primary bedroom was fantastic. The other two bedrooms were small, but were still accommodating. The property is very well maintained. There’s paths to walk on for a nature walk and the beach has some hard sand that makes long walks on the beach very easy to do. There were 6 of us that went and there was plenty of space. Great stay!"

"This is a remarkable house, hidden in the redwoods on a small mountain road several miles from Watsonville. It's a uniquely designed home, a great kitchen, and four bedrooms. The road and driveway up to the house are themselves quite an experience, and guests should be aware that there are quite a few stairs up to the large deck. "

Hyatt Regency Monterey Hotel & Spa

Hyatt Regency Monterey Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent
"Great amenities for the whole family. We love Monterey, so that doesn’t hurt. Great location, expansive layout. I also hosted a training near by and 10 team members each booked at the hotel as well. We enjoyed the cafe in main lobby. A couple people commented on above average lattes. The jacuzzi was a little funky/dirty we noticed though it was shut down for repair the next day. The hotel felt like a great balance between corp aportal and family amenities. I would recommend to both families and business travelers."
