SeaCrest OceanFront Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"This place has incredible views. The property is well maintained and very clean. The pool and spa were very clean, and all the firepits were lit and available for use day and night, which was needed. The beach and coast views are incredible. Beach access was awesome and I didn't know that there were caves on the beach near the resort. Breakfast is good and plenty of food and coffee was plentiful and good quality."

Chumash Casino Resort

Chumash Casino Resort

10/10 Excellent
"This was our first time at Chumash Casino Resort and we will definitely be back! The place was very clean and staff were very friendly and helpful. We had a King Balcony Room which was super clean, very roomy and had a comfortable bed. The pool area was fabulous and very upscale. The casino area was very large with all your standard amenities. The only thing they could do better is signage so you can find your way around easier. Otherwise, it was great!"
