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.

This hotel has it all. Great location near the beach. Beautiful furnishings everywhere with very comfortable beach vibe, somewhat Caribbean style but that wouldn't necessary describe it. Total relaxed vacation feal but a luxurious style. Service is quite adequate from valet, Bellman, check-in to checkout. My suggestion is to keep an eye on the charges in your folio, I had some incorrect charges which tainted my feeling but not diminish my love for this hotel. One example of great customer service was that my Bellman Eyeman - yes that's his name (funny thing I'm calling him mine) took personal care to gather our luggages and waited to find my room number to wisp away our personal belongings. Really nice what he did. He was even there on our checkout making sure everything was packed nearly in our rental car. Another example of great customer service was when I made my booking online, I asked that Hyatt would help me get a robe in a larger size. One problem in many hotels I've been to, that request wasn't always done. The Seabird Ocean Resort got me my robe. When I opened the closet door, I was totally excited to find a comfortable luxurious terry robe that I had to buy. Yes, it did cost me $125 plus sales tax but compare if you wanted to purchase it online, it would cost you $175 plus sales tax and shipping. I think it was a great deal added to my luggage like a memorable personal souvenir. Many many thanks Hyatt!!! Exemplary customer service👍 I am such a loyal customer now. Check-in was handled on a side desk since the front desk was overwhelmed. A lovely woman named Grace took great care to explain the hotel offerings. As this hotel is on the pricier side, you do get what you pay for. Tip: eat your breakfast/lunch across the street at their sister property Mission Pacific. The food is delicious at High/Low, perfectly prepared food served with friendly staff, beautiful views towards the ocean and conveniently billed to your hotel account. As I said, there was some incorrect charges billed to me but the efficient Isabelle manager took responsibility and corrected my hotel folio. Loved our stay at Hyatt owned Seabird Ocean Resort in Oceanside, CA You gotta go there... it'll cost you but heck, don't all vacations do? Read less

Also, piper's dinner menu states items are vegan but it's actually vegetarian since they include cheese, like a burrata dish. Read less

We stayed here for several nights mid week, looking for a place with a quiet beachfront balcony. The room was beautiful and the staff super nice. The food at the restaurants was decent. They are dog friendly too, which is a nice plus. That being said there was one thing that really was irritating to me: we spent a lot of money to upgrade our room to the “Premium Ocean View” balcony and honestly, it was a little disappointing. Despite asking for an upper floor, we got a 2nd floor room, right above one of the fire pits of the bar downstairs. That itself wasn’t terrible, but one morning we awoke to a company (pesticides?) spraying the trees/shrubs outside the hotel, the one tree was so close to the balcony, I was a little scared they might get us and made everyone go inside. Every night when we tried to sleep, there was a large street light directly in our faces. And there was no way to see the sunset from our room (too many palm trees). Each one of these things by itself wouldn’t have been so bad, but we literally paid over $ 1000 one night (with valet and pet fee) and the people with cheaper balconies over the pool, on the side of the hotel, had a good view of the sunset and less noise/disruption then we did. I would go back but the premium ocean view (at least on the 2nd floor!) is not at all worth it. Save your money and get a cheaper room. Read less
