Frommer's Review
Sporting a Cape Cod style that suits the on-the-sand location, this luxurious, romantic inn is comprised of beautifully designed and outfitted split-level studio suites. Every bright, sunny unit comes with a plush, furnished living room with a wood-burning fireplace (Duraflame logs provided) and entertainment center; a microkitchen with china and flatware for four; an elevated sleeping niche with a down-dressed king-size bed, a second TV, and a generous work area; an extra-large bathroom with an extra-deep soaking tub, a separate shower, cotton robes, and Aveda products; and a furnished balcony, many of which overlook the beach (believe me -- it's worth the extra money to score a beachfront room). While sofas convert into second beds, the unit configuration is best suited to couples rather than families; more than three is too many. Despite the summertime carnival atmosphere of The Strand, the Beach House keeps serene with double-paned windows and noise-insulated walls. The hotel's small spa offers a wide range of services, including massage treatments (in-room if you prefer), wraps, facials, waxing, and yoga sessions on the beach. An excellent light breakfast is served in the sunny breakfast room overlooking The Strand. The attentive staff has an easygoing attitude that suits the property perfectly. While L.A.'s city center is at least a half-hour drive away, Hermosa is airport-convenient and ideal for a beach getaway.
