The San Luis Bay Inn is a beautiful retreat with amazing ocean views and a fantastic location near Avila Beach. While the rooms were spacious and well-equipped, they need some updates, particularly regarding electrical outlets. The staff were very helpful, which enhanced my experience, but I did find the sales pitch approach a bit off-putting, detracting from the overall relaxation.

I had a lovely stay here! The hotel is conveniently located just a short walk from a beautiful beach, and the views of the bay were stunning. Our room had all the essentials, including a kitchen that was perfect for our family. The only downside was that the decor felt dated, but overall, it was great value for what we paid.

The resort is in an excellent location, just a short walk from the charming town of Avila and the beach. The spacious one-bedroom unit had a lovely patio, which added to the experience. However, the furnishings felt a bit outdated, and the lack of daily housekeeping was disappointing. While some amenities like laundry were available, the dining situation could use improvement.

Our stay was quite enjoyable, especially given the lovely ocean views and the spacious accommodations. The property is family-friendly, which was a big plus for us with little ones in tow. However, it’s worth noting that the dining options were quite limited, only available through vending machines. We wished for a better view from the pool area as well, but overall, we had a memorable time and would happily return.
