I love how relaxing it was in every single way. The fire pits are always a win. The pool and hot tub is absolutely amazing. The views are great, especially because Whales are migrating up the West Coast. You can sit on a comfy bench next to a firepit, sipping your drink, while whale watching. We live in San Jose and we drove Highway 1 back. between San Simeon and Monterey we saw over 100 whales. I got video of several Orca pods right below the bluff I was standing on. It's just a wonderful location. Right next to the Elephant seal viewing point and our favorite, Hearst Castle. A+ service. My kids actually ate the breakfast at the hotel restaurant. Most awesome of all, you can bring your dogs. Thanks for having us, trust me, we will be back.

The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. We had to check in next door at the Cavalier but the clerks there were SUPER friendly and very welcoming. it was raining the night we arrived so we couldn't take advantage of the heated pools. The next morning was beautiful so we drove a few minutes up the highway to the Elephant seal beach. It was birthing season so there were tons of mothers and babies to enjoy. Would definitely stay again for the value and comfort.

The staff at the reception were accommodating and check-in process was smooth. The location was near to restaurants, convenienve stores, and walking distance to the beach. There is also a coin laundry by the hotel itself. Parking space is a bit tight but it is not an issue as we got to park right infront of our room during the duration of our stay.

located near the Hurst Castle which we had a tour scheduled. breakfast ~ they gave us vouchers for the restaurant next door for like $5.00 off the meal OR you could get the FREE continental breakfast instead ~ which was toast and coffee. We did both and very satisfied with price. Room was comfortable with microwave and fridge and coffee maker.

Pet friendly, comfortable bed, great restaurant. The Sands is owned by the Cavalier so you have all the amenities of the location and the grounds at around a third of the price. The restaurant is excellent also.
