This was a totally revamped beach hotel with fantastic amenities, helpful and friendly staff, incredible cocktails, and a very comfortable, quiet, surprisingly cool room. Will absolutely be back when we are in the area.

Cute hotel and nice staff. You will need a car for this area though, not super walkable

Amazing getaway for my wife and me. The location is wonderful, and the hotel is very nice.

It was the best getaway location! Felt super comfortable and was very private! Everyone was super nice and friendly answering all our questions. Within walking distance to the beach and close to additional dining options. I will be returning!!

Overall this property and aesthetic was like shown in pictures. Very cute. The property is level with the PCH, you only have an ocean view if you’re on the 2nd floor. Ground floor view is PCH and railroad tracks. Which by the way the trains come by frequently. You cannot hear the ocean from our room because there was a fountain running the whole time, and that’s all you hear. The room was very clean, beautifully designed and vibe is so nice. The bathroom shower head was so high, which is great for rather tall people, but I am 5’3 and any way I moved the shower head water flow was almost hitting me directly in the face. The water pressure though was amazing. The room offered a mini bar and then only instant coffee packs and tea for free. They have coffee for purchase at their bar. The entire staff was wonderful, so kind attentive and a pleasure. The bonus with the shower head water was I was able to check out the Dyson hair dryer from the front desk which is amazing and not having a tiny crappy dryer in the room(I have a lot of hair, need a good dryer) The breakfast food/drinks for purchase were really good and the coffee was great. Pastries were supplied by a local bakery and the croissants were amazing. Overall it wasn’t a bad stay, or really amazing one; just wasn’t what you would expect for an “ocean view” room.

This is a wonderful boutique hotel. They have paid attention to every detail to make staying here a wonderful and unique experience. Great drinks and small bites are available in two lovely outdoor areas or inside at the cozy bar. The rooms are lovely - the Mexican tile throughout is spectacular.

If you’re looking for a relaxing get away this is going to be your place. Perfect location and the drinks are great. Property was very nice, clean, and beautiful.

The property was lovely as was the staff. The only downside was the room was very small.

No option to check-in early, or leave luggage. Staff not the accommodating.

What a very nice upscale boutique hotel. Great views of the ocean on their patio rooms. The staff was amazing and extremely helpful.

I’ve stayed at several of the hotels in the area and this one is by far my favorite. It’s been so long since I’ve experienced customer service that I almost forgot it was a thing. The staff here truly care and go above and beyond to ensure exceptional service. It’s nice to see a hotel so clean! Hunter made me feel so welcome from the second I walked in. The bartender was attentive and quick and I even had a server check in on me while my drink was being poured to make sure I had been helped. Everyone is friendly and actually smiles! The other guests were all quiet and respectful. If you stay here you’ll want to park your car behind the building, then walk to the lobby which is in the little building with the bikes parked beside it. The bar and restaurant can also be accessed through there. Definitely go ahead and book it!

El Caminante was such a great find! We enjoyed our stay and the bar very much.

felt so spoiled staying here, though we checked in late around 10:30 still felt it was very much worth every penny. The cool gadgets we could use complimentary was a surprising perk. The detail to the hotel was insane - finally not a hotel that a big company slaps a name on and charges high room rates for a room that feels subpar and honestly less nice than my own bedroom. It was a quaint room but so fun to walk around and see all the attention to details and unique things they did. I’m already bugging my partner to come back and want my entire family to experience it! Thanks to the staff for being so friendly 10 to the team

Great staff, adorable boutique hotel/motel. Well appointed. Small rooms but well thought out. Situated between Capo and Dana Harbor. Would definitely go again.

Construction on the beach was noisy and woke us up at 6:30 AM
