The hotel

Just steps from the sand, your stay at Vespera Resort on Pismo Beach can be as chilled or as active as you wish. Lounge by the outdoor fire pits in the evenings or enjoy activities such as horseback riding or hiking through Pismo Preserve, it’s all available on the hotels doorstep. With a daily wellbeing class included in your resort fee, you can start the day in the downward dog position, with the sound of the waves in the background. At the weekends, wrap up a day in the sun with live music at Pequin with a cocktail in hand. The rooms are spacious and modern, with spa like bathrooms to make you feel like you’re staying in your own private beach house. This is a great spot to stop during your West Coast road trip, as well as being perfect for a relaxing vacation on it’s own.

Check in and out was quick and easy, the onsite restaurant is very good and our room was beautiful and comfortable. Dog friendly and right on the pier with beach access. Super walkable to restaurants and shops. We had incomparable views to last night’s fireworks show. Will definitely visit again.

It was a cute hotel tight off the ocean but a fee things were not convenient is the parking - the access to hotel is small so it was always a line.

We stayed at the hotel 2x in one week as we passed in and out of Pismo. One day we got there at 5pm and our room was not ready even though check in is at 4pm, i called them at 5:45 and they said my room was ready and they tried to call me but did not leave a message. Second time we stayed later in the week, same thing, room was not ready and they said they would call and luckily my husband checked with front desk and the room was ready. Both times we waited almost an hour to get our room. We were there morning of fourth of july and it was a great vibe. the firepit tables were cozy. easy access to beach. Read less

It was such a beautiful, relaxing stay! Room, bedding, and bathroom were all VERY clean. Bedding was comfortable. I had an ocean front room, worth every penny! Staff was great, great customer service. The restaurant was delish with variety of dishes and drinks. Steps to the beach and pier.

We stayed at Vespera Resort last December for a local anniversary staycation with our two dogs, and it far exceeded our expectations. We were simply looking for a dog-friendly hotel near the beach, but what we found was something truly special. From the moment we checked in, the front desk staff made us feel so welcomed and celebrated—especially Danielle, Aiden, and several other team members whose names I can't recall, but whose kindness made a lasting impression. The little touches throughout our stay, like a surprise delivery of wine and cake to our room and genuine warmth from every staff interaction, made our celebration feel truly meaningful. We loved having brunch at Somerset and dinner at Pequin—both offered delicious options with beautiful ambiance. The views from our oceanfront balcony were stunning, especially at sunset, and the complimentary e-bikes allowed us to explore Pismo Beach with ease and joy every day. We booked our stay through Amex’s Hotel Collection and felt fully appreciated as Platinum Elite guests with Marriott. I highly recommend splurging on a balcony room with ocean view or oceanfront—it elevated our entire experience. Thanks to this stay, we’ve already booked a return visit for our next celebration in October. We’re so grateful to the Vespera team for making our anniversary unforgettable. - Andrew & Bradon Barmann-Schwarz Read less
