We stayed with a trial package that includes doing the timeshare tour. The location near Avila Beach is great, but I would recommend a local hotel or B&B in Avila Beach over this if you have the choice. We had a studio with a bed & a pullout sofa, with a small kitchen, table & chairs for 4. Since we... more

We traded in to the San Luis Bay Inn with Interval International. We were looking for a central location on the coast of California. We were not dissapointed. Check in was quick. We found the staff helpful our entire stay. What stands out is this place is big. From the lobby are large windows overlooking the pool and the bay.... more

Room was OLD AND DATED and VERY DIRTY. Dead Bugs on the carpet along with some type of pills left by a prior guest. Front desk was RUDE and not very helpful. The maid staff left A LOT to be desired. The room was so horrible that we opted to leave early and stay at a friends house. I am... more

Our week was booked 13 months in advance through Diamond Resorts. I was told to call 48 hours ahead to reserve a location. The person who helped me was wonderful. She went over all of the condos that would be available our day of check-in and was honest about the locations. We took room 443. A corner unit on the... more

June 27, 2008: We just had a one-week stay at San Luis Bay Inn. We exchanged through RCI and had a great experience. We stayed in a one-bed unit (sleeps 4): kitchen fully stocked, comfortable king mattress, large bathroom, ocean view, uncomfortable queen sleeper in living room. There were washers/dryers on each floor with no wait time. The gym was... more

We stayed in a recently remodeled studio unit which was spacious & clean. The unit had a full kitchen, queen size bed, sofa sleeper and a full kitchen. The bathroom was large with tub shower combo. There was also a built in ironing board in the bathroom. The balcony in the studio is very small with one small side table... more

This was the worst vacation we ever had. We made our reservations almost a year in advance based on the information given us about this establishment. We asked for a two bedroom which stated in the literature had a spa tub. The reason we wanted two bedrooms was because we were going to take our son and daughter-in-law for their... more

Do not let the bad reviews fool you! This was a great hotel! We spend a week here in February of 2008 and had a great time. This hotel is RIGHT above the beach... like within walking distance you can walk along the coast. There is also a lot to do right on resort like: tennis, volleyball, pool, gym, sauna,... more

My wife and I left this resort in disgust after three nights of a seven night timeshare exchange. Its only possible "gold crown" attribute is the admitedly spectacular location. We traded our own gold crown one bedroom and received a "studio" (hotel) unit, with a tiny balcony and a bed so small (a double, not even a queen), that one... more
