    The staff at Cliff House made a memorable stay for my parents, and went out of their way to be helpful. Highly recommend.

    Beautiful hotel, amazing views, incredibly hospitable staff. Just lovely.

    Everything was wonderful. For dinner, it would be better to have two tasting menus: 7 courses can be too many and also might contain spicing and chili that some people, like me, don't like. A few more options in food, please.
