Oxnard Hotels

Many oceanfront hotels are separated from the beach by a road, but the palm tree-lined gardens of the Zachari Dunes resort merge directly with the golden sands of Mandalay Beach, otherwise known as Hollywood Beach. The all-suite resort adjoins a residential complex in a quiet neighborhood near Channel islands Boulevard, beside a beachfront park and one mile from Channel Islands Harbor; the center of Oxnard is 5 miles inland. The hotel grounds include sports courts, pools, lagoons, waterfalls, fountains and exotic plants, while inside, the main facilities are a restaurant, bar, fitness center and 23,000 square feet of indoor/outdoor event space.
