This is not a hotel, this is a beach house catered too you. It is absolutely gorgeous, you wake up to the waves crashing on the beach, all rooms have a view and the lobby is absolutely gorgeous. All in all one of the best hotels I have ever stayed at and being from Pasadena this was totally worth the... More

Shutters was great But the room although beautifully furnished & spotless was so tiny ! We were travelling for 2 weeks so had loads of luggage , If you were there for a night ok but any longer you would need a larger room , we apparently got an upgrade , wouldn't have liked to see basic room .

This is the loveliest place. I arrived at midnight after a long flight. Was upgraded to an ocean front suite. By suite I mean 1 bedroom 2 bathroom fantabulous room with a separate office a dining area and 2 fireplaces. I would move in. The restaurants are beautiful, the servers pro's and the food out of this world. The beach... More

I recently spent three nights at Shutters with my girlfriends. This resort is amazing. 5 star service, food and accommodation. I would highly recommend this resort for a couple's weekend, a weekend with the family (yes young kids included) or a girls' weekend. We will definitely be returning next year!

This is a gem, and has been for 20 years now. A beautiful property, casually elegant, right on the beach, with some world class art on the walls. There's a real sense of place, with the beautiful beach outside the door, joggers and surfers, and tall palm trees. The rooms are cozy, super comfortable (great beds!), and quiet. The staff... More

My husband and I stayed here in April 2013 with our 10 month old son. The hotel staff were impolite and unwelcoming. We booked through a website which entitled us to an ungrade, if one was available. The staff were extremely rude about upgrading us and claimed to have no knowledge of the website. They made us feel awkward about... More

I stay at Shutters several times a year and it remains one of my favorite hotels in the US. Impeccable service, great location, fantastic restaurants and a relaxed but elegant atmosphere. This is a must stay hotel.

Just back from a wonderful stay at Shutters. The room, staff and hotel were fabulous with no complaints. Our original room had no balcony and I asked the front desk if one was available. They quickly accomodated us without a hitch to a beautiful balcony room. Very professional staff. Loved it!

We stayed here two nights during a three-week California coast adventure and had a great time. This was a lovely base for exploring the immediate area and having a look around LA. We splurged on a premier beach front room for us, and got the kids a lovely room too, just a couple of doors down from us. We loved... More
