The Seabird Resort

Oceanside, San Diego

Star rating

The hotel

Just steps away from the white sands and surfboards of Southern California, the Seabird Resort is a coastal estate in which you can relax, eat and drink, and get pampered to your hearts content. The hotel offers a beach concierge service with chairs, umbrellas and other essential supplies for you. The standard rooms are spacious, plenty of which offer ocean views - but if you're travelling as a larger group then the suites offer expansive balconies, large soaking tubs, and that extra bit of luxury for your stay. At the Shore Room you'll find iconic views, ocean delicacies, and craft cocktails - often accompanied by live acoustic music sets on 'Sparkling Sundays'. Sunny's Spa and and Beauty Lounge is on hand, whatever treatment you may be after, or relaxing on the chaise lounges around the pool could be enough for you! The hotel is next door to the sister resort, Mission Pacific Hotel, which offers a rooftop bar with live DJ sessions if you're looking for a more lively evening out.

Seabird is your one-stop vacation destination. Seabird has it all, and the friendliest- kindest hospitality professionals you will meet. I’m hoping to win the powerball- so I can just move into the hotel. It’s really special and the ocean air is especially fresh and restorative there.

I absolutely love this hotel. The location is wonderful - complimentary beach chair and umbrella service and I was able to get a lounge chair by the pool facing the ocean every day.

Great room with ocean view and the food and staff TOP NOTCH!! Only thing we'd change is having to pay valet entire time we stayed, we walked most places.

**Standing ovation** This was our first trip to the coastal cities of California. I decided to stay at the Seabird because it was a relatively short drive from LAX and to San Diego. The property is wonderful and the staff was awesome. When we walked into the room and saw the view and how spacious the room was, all we could say was "Wow!". We only had one meal at the hotel. We had the fish and chips at the downstairs bar and it was really good. We also took advantage of the chairs/umbrella at the beach which was incredibly relaxing. No complaints here at all! Plenty of dining options around the hotel. There's a street market a couple blocks away on Thursday evenings. The pier across from the hotel. Wonderful hotel and wonderful stay! Read less
