Zuma Beach, looking at Point Dume. A nice trail leads to the summit of Point Dume and on a clear day the view is amazing. It's a fantastic place to watch the sunset.
#GoldenHour at Corral Creek Beach in Malibu.
On this evening the sky was truly spectacular, the photo is unedited and doesn't have any filters, but standing there watching this was mesmerizing. 
It must be the way the Malibu coastline curves and the light hits it differently than other beaches along LA. For moments of serenity or romance head out to Malibu :)

The room was very tidy and I will say that the sheets on the bed were very clean and smelled freshly washed. I also enjoy that there was a complimentary wine hour and that the rooftop restaurant was beautiful. Check in was a breeze and stuff was very hospitable.
