Make sure to arrive early to take full advantage of what the spa has to offer including their new infrared sauna.

The lounge is the perfect spot for a glass of bubbly or hot tea while nibbling on their refreshments.

They even have crystal-infused water!  I have no clue if there is any real science to it, but I fully back up drinking crystal water! The spa also provides wellness programs and fitness classes.

Dining

There are four options on the property to grab a bite or drink.  This includes their coffee shop Lyric Coffee, their award-winning restaurant Adelaide, their pool bar where you can eat the most delicious fire-roasted oysters and their cocktail bar.

Adelaide is a truly gorgeous restaurant with oceanic views and organic plates mainly sourced locally. 

We enjoyed ordering oysters from their pool bar:

Eco-Friendly

Be rest-assured that many eco-friendly measures have taken place at the hotel.  They are a designated Surfrider Foundation, ocean-friendly California resort and incorporate green practices and sustainability into their daily operations.

They run a recycling program and linen reuse program in all guestrooms.  The rooms also use energy-efficient light blubs to reduce the impact of depleting energy sources.

Their kitchen is equipped with 100% recycled vinyl/PVC flooring and energy-efficient lighting. They also donate the used oil for biodiesel fuel conversion and all of their to-go boxes are biodegradable.
