Top The Spa at Dolphin Bay Hotel Reviews

Pacific Point Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were great, the property new and fresh, the amenities and conveniences great, the location, amazing. Thoughtful touches everywhere."

Avila Village Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Verry friendly staff and very peaceful setting"

Edgewater Inn And Suites

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was clean, we loved our view too. Would definitely stay again"

Shell Beach Inn

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and spacious. There wasn't anyone at the property when we checked in but we were given clear information on how to access our room. The location was great and even though it's near the freeway it did not disturb our sleep. For those that may require a quieter room, there were a couple of sets of earplugs in the bedroom. I highly recommend the hotel and location. You are between Avila Beach and Pismo Beach but without the crowds. There are a few restaurabts nearby to eat that are within walking distance. We are looking to forward to returning. The only disappointment was the pool because it wasn't very clean."

Inn at the Cove

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay.! Especially Martin at the front desk was very helpful with sightseeing ideas and a welcoming glass of wine!"

The Ranch-4 miles to Pismo Beach

10/10 Excellent

"The ranch was fantastic for our family. We had plenty of room and the kitchen was equipped with so many great appliances and everyday dishes. The outdoor area was good for relaxing. There were turkeys every day for our grandson to watch. So fun. So peaceful and quiet. Perfect place to celebrate our daughter’s wedding. Will definitely go back."

Avila Pismo RV Resort and Campground

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely property, friendly check-in staff. Great location right near the Bob Jones trailhead. My only notes are that the cabin i stayed in is a bit rundown - the mattress could be replaced, the bedside light had no outlet, so was just ornamental, and the tv in the bedroom didn’t work. Other than that, great stay!"

"This a FANTASTIC property, and an equally WONDERFUL host in Jasi.The property has everything going for it - huge place with multiple rooms, big big backyard, a pool, a hot tub, pickle ball court, grills - you name it, and it has it! Definitely meant for a big group (10), and provides for everything one can need or want.Jasi is an excellent host - super responsive, detailed and kind. She made our stay even better than we could have imagined.Definitely recommend this property 1000% if you are looking to stay in SLO, and we will be coming back soon the next time our family plans a get together."
