My wife and I stayed at Lavender by the Sea for our anniversary, and it was everything we hoped for! The space is so peaceful, making it ideal for a relaxing getaway. The aesthetic is absolutely adorable, with charming decor and a cozy vibe. Our room was spacious, with clean and comfortable beds that made it easy to unwind. The added convenience of a fridge and microwave was perfect for storing snacks and leftovers from nearby spots. The bathroom was spotless, and it was clear that cleanliness is a top priority here. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made our experience even better. The location is also fantastic—within walking distance to great restaurants and bars, adding convenience and variety to our stay. The beautiful scenery surrounding the area really made our anniversary feel special. Highly recommend!

Over priced for what you get. Location could be anywhere, similar to something off the freeway in the middle of nowhere.

Rating in Expedia said fabulous. Hotel is old, staff was kind of rude. A/C was very noisy. Rating should be lower to reflect reality. Expensive.
