Although there are many restaurants and clubs within the marina, we chose the hotel's own Terrace Bistro for both indoor and outdoor dining and were not disappointed. At breakfast, a portion of excellent Nova Scotia salmon was so generous it could have topped a dozen bagels. Even the most revved up early morning jogger would be satisfied by the bountiful buffet. Lunch and dinner featured some overlapping items, all of which were fresh and filling. Prawns prepared in a variety of ways with several different garnishes were a menu standout.
Prices are very reasonable.
Sports with a marine theme are a big draw in Marina del Rey. Guests can also play volleyball at the beach and windsurf . The Promenade along the dockside of the hotel is part of a 21-mile coastal path from Malibu to Manhattan Beach an d is ideal for walking , jogging and roller blading . Or you can rent a bike , pack a picnic and peddle the route. There is a charge for shipping and handling.
