Fodor's Expert Review Hotel California

This handsome structure with two stories of arched terraces and rich, vibrant colors on the walls is a testament to the artistic bent of owner Debbie Stewart (and no, there's no connection to the Eagles' song). A deep-blue-and-ocher scheme runs throughout, and rooms, some with ocean views, are decorated with a mix of antiques and folk art reminiscent of Santa Fe, New Mexico. The Coronela restaurant and bar are local hot spots, and the Emporio shop is stuffed with curios, jewelry, and funky natural-fiber clothing from around the globe.
