Stayed at this resort over the 2008 Christmas holiday period. I've been staying at timeshares for almost 30 years and really enjoy having a kitchen to cook in and room to spread out and relax. Love the location of the Capistrano Surfside Inn! The resort is right across the highway from the beach with a pedestrian walkway just off the... more

We visited the Capistrano Surfside Inn the week of Labor Day. We had a fair experience there. The check in experience was very slow due to a lack of help at the check in desk. Also desk staff was often on personal calls and was not very attentive when we had questions. The whole building had a bad musty order,... more

This hotel/resort is perfect if you want ocean front accomodation. I have not found anything wrong with it at all, They provide all the accessories you need to have fun at the beach. I've been to Hawaii, and a lounge chair will cost you $10.00 a day! At Surfside Inn, they are free. The room is roomy and comfortable,amenities are... more

This year we were not able to trade so we initially booked a hotel for the week. However after being there one night we did not want to stay the week... more

We booked through our local resorts' Trading Places agent. This was promised to be a 5-star resort, but when we checked in we were very disappointed. The night before arriving at the Surfside, we stayed at the Doubletree in Commerce, CA that was rated at 3-1/2 stars by Hotwire and was twice as nice as this. To realize you're stuck... more

We just spent a week at the surfside inn and had a great time. We exchanged through RCI and were really impressed with the quality amenities of the resort. It's not as fancy as some of the resorts we've been to in the past, but it makes up for it in the friendliness of the staff and the some of... more

My wife and I have stayed for the Sunday to Sunday visit almost every year. I take my vacation starting the Labor Day weekend to get out of the hot desert for a couple of weeks and enjoy the cool ocean. The Surfside Inn is a nice 3 story hotel/vacation time-share. As mentioned, the hotel has full ocean or non-ocean... more

We stayed a week over New Years and loved our trip. The main reason we vacationed to California was to go to the Rose Bowl parade. The staff at the resort was very friendly and accomodating. We had a 1 bedroon unit which had a pullout sofa sleeper for our 11 year old son. Our bathroom had a HUGE jacuzzi... more
