Top Eli Howard Surf School Hotel Reviews

Twelve Senses Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"My partner and I were here for two nights and loved our stay. We stayed in the air room which feels light and private. We loved the breakfasts and getting to use the sauna and hot tub which are clean and easy to use. Vincent and Jade were kind and hospitable and we can’t wait to return and to share this place with our friends and family."

Days Inn by Wyndham Encinitas Moonlight Beach

8/10 Good

"This hotel boasts an excellent location right off the freeway, making it incredibly convenient for travelers. The property offers ample parking, and the rooms are clean, comfortable, and highly functional. While there is some remodeling in the location, the staff remains attentive, informative, and readily available to assist with any needs."

Private Beautiful Clean Beachy-Close to All Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"This is my fourth time staying here. Hubby and I are going back in November. I couldn't imagine staying anyplace else but at Marsha's divine VRBO. Always sparkling clean, very comfortable, close to everything. And the biggest plus? Marsha is the best host. We've become very friendly and my hubby and I have really enjoyed getting to know Marsha and her hubby. Beau and Jackson, their two wonderful dogs, are great fun - especially when we are missing our dogs. See everyone in November!!"

The Encinitan Hotel & Suites

8/10 Good

"Decent stay for the price. Location is great and we walked to the beach (with a kid and wagon) with no problem. It is also within walking distance to restaurants and convenience stores. Our room had newer finishings but the bathroom tub/shower seemed outdated in comparison. The shower head water pressure was a little weak. The breakfast was fine but didn’t open till 7:30 and they seemed to run out of popular items early. The balcony was wonderful but be prepared for road/train noise. The staff was helpful but there didn’t seem to be many people working there. The property is older and could use a little TLC but overall was a good stay."

Inn at Moonlight Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Our one-night stay here was exactly the reset we needed! From check-in, the staff were warm and welcoming, and the fruity kombucha welcome drink set a great tone. The room was comfortable and quiet, and the outdoor yard access made us feel genuinely connected to nature. It was a much-needed break from digital screens and work stress ^-^ The in-room bath salt and fresh herbs turned a simple bath into a real highlight, and the licorice mint tea was so good I bought a box of the leaves from the gift shop before leaving. Breakfast came in a charming picnic basket, generous and fresh. Checkout was just as kind as check-in. This place really nails the "zen by the beach" feeling. We're already planning our next visit!"
