The showers are not so powerful.

This is a beautiful gem of a hotel and location if you're looking for a traditional beach holiday, especially for families. Staff were amazing, especially Nicole who helped us so much during our stay. The location is amazing, the decor is beautiful, it's super clean and a really good spot to enjoy the Californian coast with kids, since the waves are a bit more gentle. The hotel was a total hit with our kids, they loved the pool and jacuzzi!

Exceptional property at a lovely, laid back beach town. The staff were the friendliest and most helpful that we encountered in California. We loved that we could borrow beach chairs and equipment and our kids loved the pool. It was the perfect place for some R&R on our road trip. The rooms were big and comfortable and I would highly recommend going for a sea view suite. The quality of the food at breakfast was also very high. The range on offer was a bit more limited than at some of the other hotels we stayed at but that was no problem for us.

The living room was dark and could use more lighting, but the bedroom was bright and airy. Didn't like the landscaper equipment starting so early, around 8am.

We liked the room, the amenities, the friendly staff, and great view from our bedroom. Nice to hear the waves. Great to have a door to separate the living room from the bedroom. The music at the pool wasn't too loud. The property was well kept, the landscaping was nice. The staff did a good job caring for the property (pool especially) after hours. We also liked the breakfast, with a good variety.

The breakfast inside the hotel was great, but outside of the hotel the restaurants were limited to seafood, sandwiches, hamburgers, and hotdogs.

It’s had everything we needed especially with kids.

Only issue we had was someone stole our antenna from our truck.

Loved how close everything is. No need to drive anywhere

We really didn't have any negatives. Our beds were made without a top sheet for some reason but that was a quick fix to get the sheets from housekeeping.

Loved the location, across from the beach. Very family friendly, nice pool and spa. Games around the courtyard for the kids or family to play. Nice breakfast selection included. Rooms were spacious and comfortable. Staff was very helpful and accommodating. Restaurants all within walking distance. We will definitely return.

No complaints about our stay.

Great location, close to beach, park, restaurants. The property has beach chairs and umbrellas to use. They had a live DJ and taco bar (small fee) at the pool on Sat afternoon. There's also a giant checkerboard game, small putting green and cornhole on site. Very family friendly!

Had extra charges placed on my account that staff did not know where it came from. Had to close out my card as a result.

Everything from check in to check out was phenomenal. Maria checked us in and she was so friendly and welcoming. There was a little misunderstanding with the booking (not Avila Lighthouse's fault) and she gave us a lovely bottle of wine to make up for it. We were also offered beach chairs and boogie boards if desired. The chairs actually came in handy on the beach, which is literally across the street. The room was large and super clean. Loved our balcony with a view of the ocean. If you can do it, pay the extra to get the ocean view. It is worth it. The continental breakfast was fresh and had a great selection of items. We didn't use the pool, but it looked clean and a decent size. The staff at breakfast and all over the property were cheerful and helpful. The hotel is right on the main strip, so plenty of shops and restaurants are walking distance. We can't wait to come back!

It's a paid parking, I had circled the parking garage a few times. I went inside the lobby and voiced my concerns, and luckily, one of the staff members was leaving and told me I could have her parking.

The ocean was amazing!! The beds were so comfortable. Staff is super friendly and helpful. All the staff members I would encounter would either say hello or greet me with a smile. Would stay there again.

I thought the parking was part of the room rate. But we were still charged for $15 for our one night stay. Also, the restaurants closed at 9pm (It was a Monday night). So we had to do Doordash. They didn't room service for food.

We stayed one night at Avila Lighthouse just for a quick getaway and to explore Avila Beach and we had a great time. The room was clean. Beds and pillows were comfortable. Water pressure and airconditioning were good. The pools and hot tub were clean. The breakfast was very good. I especially liked the honey dripping from the honey comb spread, nice touch. The location was perfect. It is located right at the beach and the shops and pier were all within walking distance. Our room was on the second floor facing the beach. And sitting in the patio early morning was very relaxing.
