I booked an ocean view room for my daughter and her husband, for their anniversary. I specifically requested an "Ocean View" three times, and was told "No problem" during the confirmation process. When they checked in , however, they were given ground floor, dead center behind the pool; so their "view" was the plexi glass encasing the pool area. When... more

We had a fabulous time at the Lighthouse Suites. The suite was a bit cramped feeling, but still larger than a typical room. The hotel pool was nicely maintained and pleasant. The beach is awesome - gentle surf and lots of sand. There is a playground right next to the hotel. This hotel attracts lots of families, so probably not... more

It was our first family vacation with 2 kids (2 yr old and 2 month old). The experience was great. Check-in was quick, and they upgraded us to an oceanfront suite for free. Our room was very clean and ltterally steps away from the beach. I sat on the patio and enjoyed people watching during the day and sounds of... more

We booked an ocean front room for 3 nights. Left after 1. Room was small. You can hear every word from other guests. Room was not very clean. With all that said- Our son is an extremly light sleeper. Wife is very picky. The view and location is great. Steps from the beach. Most people would like the hotel. more

On the map of the property, it is by far the largest room in... more

Avila Beach as a whole is paradise. We have been here 4 times in the past year. Each time we have stayed at the Lighthouse Suites and have had many different experiences. All in all the property is great. Very convenient location and always clean. The rooms are big and bright. The views from the upstairs rooms are amazing. Unfortunately... more

We stayed here for 2 nights. We had a bunch of distrubances from guests next door walking and talking. Even ppl walking in hallway would make noise. Very bad insulation in walls. more
