Top Eli Howard Surf School Hotel Reviews

Cardiff by the Sea Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"The property is lovely and quaint. I love the spacious room with the four-poster bed. The bed was very comfy and the bathroom very clean. The staff were very nice and helpful. The hotel is centrally located close to the beach and restaurants. Everything was walkable. I would highly recommend."

Days Inn by Wyndham Encinitas Moonlight Beach

8/10 Good

"Property was in the middle of renovations. My room was excellent. All knew everything. Tv was new but remote control very difficult to operate. I don’t know how someone that is not tech savoy will be able to operate tv system. 3 days I didn’t master it. That was my only complaint about my stay. Staff was excellent. Loved the new rooms compared to what they used to be."

The Encinitan Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"This clean, beach-close hotel was an absolute delight. The location is perfect if you want easy access to the shore, and the hotel itself is spotless and well kept. From the moment we arrived, the staff stood out—everyone was super friendly, helpful, and genuinely kind. The cleaning team was also amazing: professional, thorough, and clearly take pride in keeping everything in great shape. The only downfall was getting to the beach—there’s a steep dirt trail that can feel challenging, especially if you’re traveling with bags or have someone with a torn ACL in your party (lol). But overall, it was a wonderful stay and I’d definitely come back for the cleanliness, comfort, and outstanding service."

Encinitas Shores - Beachfront, Ocean View & Patio

10/10 Excellent

"This property exceeded all of our expectations! The views are absolutely breathtaking and made every morning and evening feel special. The location couldn’t be better—close to fantastic restaurants, shopping, and everything you need, while still feeling relaxing and peaceful.What truly sets this property apart is the exceptional customer service. The staff was friendly, responsive, and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. From the beautiful views and accommodations to the incredible location and outstanding hospitality, everything was top-notch.We would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a memorable getaway and can’t wait to return!"

Cardiff Beach Home, Ocean Views, Amazing Sunsets, Walk to beach and everywhere
