Top The Spa at Dolphin Bay Hotel Reviews

Edgewater Inn And Suites

10/10 Excellent

"This has got to be one of the best hotels in Pismo. You are at walking distance to everything. Steps away from the beach and dont forget to stop and pet the surfing goats in the mornings."

The Palomar Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Not fancy just clean and comfy"

Pacific Point Resort

8/10 Good

"This is the first time back at this hotel since the remodel. The rooms were very clean, comfortable beds and the bathroom was nice with two sinks and a nice shower. Our room was by the pool which at times can be a bit noisy with kids. This hotel use to offer breakfast with the reservation; it no longer does but now offers it for $25 per person.....that seems a bit ridiculous as there are several places within walking distance that have breakfast for much less. As always though....the ocean view is fabulous."

Shell Beach Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We were very pleased with the room (cozy), inn, and location. The staff were very helpful and cheerful. We wanted to be outside Pismo Beach town in a small community setting. Shell Beach was perfect."

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!"

Avila Valley Luxury Estate with Pickleball Court

10/10 Excellent

"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."
