Bodega’s plushest option, this small oceanfront resort has an ocean-view swimming pool, a golf course, a whirlpool and a state-of-the-art fitness club. In the evenings it hosts wine tastings. The more expensive rooms have commanding views, but all have balconies. The other pluses on-site include Bodega Bay’s best spa and Drakes restaurant, which is the fanciest dining in town.
