Find Hotels with Early Check-in in Pacific Coast

"This was our second time staying here. We enjoyed it just as much as, if not more than, the first time six years ago. We upgraded to VIP access this time, which got us nicer seating at restaurants (generally out on a patio instead of inside), access to a rooftop pool separate from the main pool, with its own lounge chairs and bar, a room in one of the top two floors of the hotel (ours was top floor), a bottle of champagne upon arrival, and a bar serving our floor exclusively but only in the evenings. That all was nice, but it's not a big difference from what you get for the regular rate. Everything is still quite nice without those extras. The room was clean, quiet and well-designed with plenty of space and a balcony. The biggest plus was the outdoor area. It was nice being away from the crowd for a while at the rooftop pool, but we spend most of our time in the chairs on the beach or by the main pool. We never had trouble getting a chair, but it was close sometimes. I think if they had been busier we might have missed out on chairs sometimes. What sets this place apart is the number of trees and amount of shade on the beach. (Or you can choose to be out in full sunlight.) We've stayed at three places in PV, and researched a dozen others, and this beach area beats anything else we've seen. Full range of ages staying there, from toddlers to retirees. Most of the crowd was maybe in their 40s and 50s. (We are retirees ourselves.) No crazy partiers; a nice atmosphere."
