Our meeting space is as flexible as it is elegant, with accommodations for classroom and theatre-style seating. And in case an oceanview conference room isn't quite close enough to the beach, a 6,750-square-foot poolside terrace serves as the ideal location for afternoon meetings.

    Dinner was great, food was amazing! But I really wish management did something about the extremely rude couple that was screaming and dropping F bombs. We later found out this couple was one of the chefs parents. They needed to be cut off and removed from the restaurant.

    Prime rib was beautifully presented and was tender and tasty. The vegetables were really well seasoned. I have never had broccolini that good. Gnocchi was the best I've ever had, its sauce was incredible. Great service everywhere starting from the valets and hostesses to finally the wait staff. Sunset comes too early this time of year to see it but we sat overlooking the ocean. They even brought out a surprise dessert for our birthday celebration. Can't wait for our next meal here.

    Celebrated my wife's birthday at Marisol at the Cliffs Hotel with our sons. Great meal on the patio overlooking the beach. We had the filet mignon with baked potato and broccolini, grilled chicken with mashed potatoes and mixed veggies, Hamburger and fries. Everything was delicious with good cocktails and the service was excellent. Beautiful restaurant.
