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 was a stellar experience for us, grandparents and our daughter and 6 y/o granddaughter. We were right across from the ocean which was our granddaughters favorite part of the trip. We drove from Phoenix and somehow missed that, as part of their services, the Seabird provides umbrellas, chairs, boogie boards, sand toys and towels. No need to schlep all that down and back. The hotel itself is comfortably beautiful and welcoming of children - Absolutely wonderful place to stay! Read less

Great location and amenities. Staff was very nice. However probably the most uncomfortable bed I have ever slept on. Also had difficulty with tv and outlets working in the room. Although the staff was able to fix this in a few hours. Space is tight in rooms but they have everything you need.

I told them it was my husband's birthday and they sent up a note and chocolates. The room itself was clean and I got a pool view with an ocean view too. The bed was comfy. The robe and slippers were soft.… Read more
