Just got back from a very nice night in Monterey. We stayed at the Marina Dunes, which was by far the most grown-up place I've visited. The place is a 'resort,' which means a few nifty things:
- The pool was phat
- For the most part, it was as lovely and charming as advertised, though the 'deluxe' room is pretty small.
- The beach is always good. It's hard to top the beach.
- The property is right near protected coastline so they provide you with jaunty golf carts to get to and from the room. In some ways, that was the best part.
