Reviews of The Cliffs Hotel & Spa
Review summary
The Cliffs is highly praised by multiple reviewers for its beautiful location, exceptional staff, and incredible service. Anna and Leah, the event coordinators, are commended for their responsiveness, professionalism, and organization in planning weddings. Guests had stress-free experiences, with staff ensuring everything ran smoothly and guests' needs were met, including praise for the delicious food and efficient bar service. The venue's stunning backdrop and attention to detail, even without the coordinator present on the wedding day, left couples feeling like their wedding was a dream come true and eager to return for future celebrations.
Perfect Experience
Our wedding day was absolutely the most incredible day. When asked what we would have done differently we say there's nothing because of how organized, professional, and thoughtful all of the staff at the venue were. We went to visit the venue the day before to drop off some things, and got to see the ballroom that was already perfectly set up with everything! This put our minds at ease and made for a stress-free wedding day.
Leah acted as my day of coordinator (mind you I had no coordinator at all!) and kept me and the vendors on track with the timeline. The staff were absolutely lovely during our reception and kept the guest's glasses full the whole night. Our guests raved about how amazing the food was and how it came out both perfectly cooked and hot!
I cannot recommend The Cliffs enough! Worth every penny!
Amazing wedding experience!

The Cliffs Resort ALWAYS provide the best weddings with the best beach ceremony view and access. Love this place and the staff!
The Cliffs Resort is magical. Somehow their slabs of beautiful marble and polished brass railings seem understated by their location on top of a bluff overlooking the Giant Blue Pacific Ocean. They have an absolutely incredible staff; each person more competent , kind, and professional than the last. They do everything well. You will remember the food, the wine, the service and the extra efforts put into each event. Trust The Cliffs Resort with all the details of your most important day, and allow yourselves and your families to enjoy the magic. Best Wishes! Colleen Rosenthal
We have been fortunate to work with Anna and her team on several weddings - always hard at work making the day a smooth one for their clients!
