Marine Club Beach Resort offers a beautiful, remote location with beach and mountain views, attracting couples on romantic getaways and families with kids. This mid-range property offers a saltwater pool with a bar, a kiddy pool, and an activities team that organizes entertainment -- though their evening programs can be a bit too noisy for some guests' taste. The hotel has a charming buffet restaurant with sea views, and an all-inclusive option is available, but doesn't include alcohol. The hotel’s weak point may be its 110 simple rooms, as they have a dated feel and no coffee/tea facilities or mini-fridges; the slightly isolated location may also be a downside for some, especially since the food on-site gets mixed reviews. Families traveling with children may want to look into the Hotel Riu Touareg, a big all-inclusive hotel in Santa Monica with a cute playground and children's pool with a waterfall.
