Top The Spa at Dolphin Bay Hotel Reviews

SeaCrest OceanFront Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Access to beach, walkable to downtown along the beach, great view, good amenities, many fire pits, reasonably priced. Has a EV charger, not fast speed, but it’s there. A great stop along Hwy 1 between LA and SF! The AC didn’t quite work, I think they are trying to preserve energy. So you have to open the windows. The air is crisp at night so it’s good. But if you are on the ground floor, you may not want to open the window/patio door for safety concerns as it’s accessible by everyone. It will not be a problem for the 2nd floor."

Inn at Avila Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Very Friendly staff, clean room, nice view of ocean,"

Shell Beach Inn

10/10 Excellent

Avila Pismo RV Resort and Campground

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely property, friendly check-in staff. Great location right near the Bob Jones trailhead. My only notes are that the cabin i stayed in is a bit rundown - the mattress could be replaced, the bedside light had no outlet, so was just ornamental, and the tv in the bedroom didn’t work. Other than that, great stay!"
