Room, Garden View

This 465 sq. ft. room has a garden view with soothing green outlooks rather than an ocean outlook. The resort itself sits across Pacific Coast Highway from Huntington Beach, and guests reach the sand by a private pedestrian bridge.

The room has a private bathroom with a shower/bathtub combination. It comes with bathrobes, slippers, a hair dryer and designer toiletries, plus soap, shampoo and toilet paper. Toothbrush and toothpaste are available on request, and towels are changed on request.

The room includes a closed-captioned TV, phone accessibility kit, vibrating pillow alarm and visual fire alarm. Guests who need further specific arrangements should mention them when reserving.

There is a 65-inch flat-screen TV with premium channels and streaming services, and an iPod connection. Air conditioning and heating are climate-controlled, and blackout drapes help with sleeping. Turndown service is offered in the evening, and premium high-speed internet is included with the resort fee.

A mandatory resort fee of $45 per room, per day (plus tax, subject to change) is collected at check-in on top of the room rate. It includes access to the heated pools, hot tubs and waterslides, premium high-speed internet, and beach chairs, umbrellas and towels. It also includes two refillable in-room water bottles, pool sunscreen, daily koi fish feeding, fire pit experiences and seasonal fitness classes.

Huntington City Beach is roughly a 2–8 minute walk across the pedestrian bridge. Pacific City is about a 10–11 minute walk, and Huntington Beach Pier and Main Street are around a 16–19 minute walk. Bikes can be rented at the hotel for the roughly 10-mile paved beach path.

With two Queen beds for up to four guests, it suits a family of four or two couples travelling together. The resort has a kids' club for ages 3-7 and Slyders Water Playground with three waterslides; two of them require riders to be 48 inches or taller. Children must be accompanied by an adult at the pools, and the Spa Grotto hot-tub area is for guests 18 and older.

Standard check-in is 4:00 PM and check-out is 11:00 AM. Early check-in and late check-out are available for a fee, subject to availability. The bell desk offers complimentary luggage storage before check-in and after check-out.

Covered valet parking is available for a fee with in/out privileges, and there is an on-site electric car charging station. The resort does not run an airport shuttle, so guests use rideshare, taxi or a rental car. John Wayne Airport is the closest, at roughly 30 minutes by car.
