"We had a really great stay here. Convenient location walking distance to Main Street Tiburon where we had the best dinner at Sam’s and the best breakfast at Salt and Pepper. Both Javier and Rolando at the front desk were super nice, helpful and gave great recommendations! The pool and hot tub were beautiful, loved the little poolside lounge beds. Beautiful property. Only suggestions to improve the guest experience would be to keep the pool area open until 10 and allow room charges from the bar/resraurant."
