10/10
A great place that most people will drive by between LA and San Francisco. Pismo Beach is a nice smaller beach/surfer place with some really great views on the Pacific.
The Cliffs is a very nice place with friendly staff that we can recommend to all and a place we will return to again.
The reason - one of the most beautiful views of the Pacific from the hotel and from the pool (even a heated whirlpool if you want to) and we had a nice lunch looking at the Pacific and we even saw Whales jumping a few hundred meters out - what more can you ask for?
