Everything was fabulous. The staff were extremely helpful and courteous, the room was magnificant with personal touches that made it feel more staying at a guest house than a hotel room. The king size bed was fabulous. Breakfast sitting looking over the beach was brilliant. We looked at staying at Shutters but this was actually cheaper and after having a... more

Our 4 night stay was almost perfect. The first night we had a room that faced a rusted fire escape and we demanded a change. For the next 3 nights we were moved to a wonderful room with a view of the pier and the ocean. Who wants to pay premium prices to look out on a fire escape! The... more

I would definately return to Casa del mar. The old beauty is right on the beach and if you get a room with a direct ocean view it is beautiful. You can share activities with Shutters on the Beach, the sister property. Rent bikes and ride all the way to Venice beach and canals. Don't miss the delicious lemon ricotta... more

From across the country we planned an afternoon tea for 27 to be held in the Casa Del Mar's Veranda room. Working with Toby, the catering manager, was a pleasure as he was very knowledge, flexible and efficiently worked out the perfect location and event for our group. This ended up being the best of five events on the west... more

I stayed for one night with my teenaged daughter on a combined business/leisure trip. It was the perfect balance: Sophistication enough for my meeting in the lobby of the hotel; relaxed enough for my daughter to feel comfortable hanging out while I was working. The service was expert but geniune. The rooms were beautiful. I will definitely return whenever I'm... more

Stayed for three nights for a business meeting. The hotel was much nicer than I expected and was an excellent value for the price. It was one of the most comfortable rooms I have stayed in for quite some time. I certainly rate this a 5 out of 5. The only comments would be the view and the restaurant. If... more

This hotel was amazing- great location, the rooms are so comfortable and have so much character! The pool is small, but the staff takes great care of you and the views can't be beaten. And, either way, the beach is at the front door. All of the staff - front desk, bar, room service, pool- was helpful and attentive! I... more

We stayed here one night since we were leaving from LAX the next morning. I booked a partial view king room but got upgraded to an ocean view since our room wasn't ready at check in. The hotel staff are professional, but friendly. I loved the room and the colonial style decor. We had a four poster bed, chaise longue,... more
