Hi Meg,

The Mandalay sits all by itself, but it is right on the beach and has a great little park right next door. There are very few hotels in the area.

There is the Casa Sirena on the harbor about 1 mile away. www.casasirenahotel.com Also the Casa Via Mar on Channel Island Blvd about 1 1/2 miles away. www.casaviamar.com

The Mandalay does give military, police and fireman discounts. Definitely mention your brothers wedding and ask if they offer any type of discount.

Good luck.
