Having always heard about the famous flat, driveable beach of Pismo, we started our CA driving vacation here. BOY! Did we luck out in our hotel selection as much of Pismo , further south, is RV land and honky tonk. Dolphin Beach is north of that and a cliff-side hotel with a private, dark sand beach. It lies closer to... more

Staying at Dolphin Bay for 3 nights was a slice of heaven and a true escape from our busy lives. The staff is very helpful and polite, they treat you like honored members of thier family. The suite had everything I could possibly need, I just want to move in and live there! The La Bonne Vie spa was a... more

I have traveled from the Bay Area to places like Maui, Hawaii and Cape Town, South Africa. Recently I discovered a resort with more luxury, newer modern amenities, and a beautiful scenic sea, all within driving distance from the Bay Area. When you subtract the cost savings minus airfare, minus convertible auto (drove mine down from the Bay Area), you... more

If you're looking for somewhere to stay and just relax, forget all the troubles at work or home this is the place. We had a very nice room looking out over the ocean with a perfect spot for the sunsets. The kitchen is handy as well, gives you an opportunity to just stay in and not worry about where to... more

We stayed for 10 days in June. The rooms are not rooms but large condominiums! We had a fabulous one-bedroom ocean view unit, with a full kitchen with top of the line appliances. Overlooking the ocean the dining room was a perfect place to entertain. The Hotel is fairly new and looks like it was built to be a luxury... more

I love the two bedroom suites with kitchen and laundry room. All the comforts of home in a hotel room. I swam with my 4 & 6 year old grandaughters in the saltwater pool and it was great. Not too cold or too warm and no clorine smell. Lunch by the pool was a real treat. I recommend the mahi... more

The staff is... more
