Very clean hotel, staff is wondeful and beach is just a few steps away from the hotel. We loved the view of the ocean from off our Balcony. The hotel was very quiet. The bartender Juan was amazing. We would recommend this hotel to everyone.

Cerritos is amazing! If you love surfing, Desert Moon is the best place to stay. You can see the waves from your window and step outside right onto the beach. Jaun, the Riptide Bar's bartender was so fun to hang out with and makes the most beautiful margaritas!

Our booking stated payment in full on day of arrival. But 2 days prior we were asked to pay in full or „ we can’t guarantee the reservation „. We spent many hours getting this sorted out as we had no wifi (travelling in remote areas). We had several phone calls with the hotel and they said we would lose our reservation. When we got there, the hotel was only 20% occupied.

Great place to relax

The staff was wonderful and so nice. It was in a great location, just a short walk to the beach! Could have used shampoo and conditioner in the room (beach hair), but soap was provided. The rooftop deck was a great spot for sunsets and the infinity pool was refreshing. Breakfast was provided and the food was good.

Surfers paradise! We loved this small surf community with complimentary eggs and ham for breakfast. Not wheelchair accessible all rooms are stair access. Beach has chairs, umbrella and surf lessons for rent. We would totally stay here again and had a great experience!!!

Amazing stay for us. Ocean waves are a constant soundtrack. Probably the most relaxing, and efficient beach vacation for us yet. Between the beach views, the killer cocktails, that bomb ceviche, and awesome staff...it was perfect for us. We'll be back.
