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.

The facility was awesome. Gorgeous. The reason it didn’t get a perfect score is there was a beautiful bathtub that once filled (an hour later) the temperature was warm. I brought it up to maintenance and they refused to increase the temperature. They said it would be scalding.

The view was magnificent. The room gorgeous and spacious and beautiful. Great view of the ocean. The food delicious.
I went for a training event. The conference rooms were also perfect and comfortable. For the quality of room, comfort and view, the price was reasonable

Horrible Customer Service - Last Minute Cancellation

My reservation was cancelled the week prior to my vacation, despite having booked in January. I was first informed that there was construction, then that they were oversold. I checked on other sites to see if there was availability after I was told the room I booked almost two months prior was no longer available and I found rooms on more than one external site, including American Express. The "help" I was offered by two separate people while trying to address this issue was to rebook at a nearby Courtyard Marriott, which I was encouraged to do as it would "save me money" - not an objective I had for my vacation. I was then told they could move me to a non-Marriott property next door at a lower rate. Again, not the idea I had for my vacation. The final solution was to move us to the next door location for no charge. We had a friend joining in town the first night, so we finally chose to accept that solution. To say that I was disappointed is an understatement. The room was very basic, aging, and I would not even shower in the bathroom. The restaurant on property was supposed to be open until 9pm and we were rushed out by staff prior to 8pm. We decided to move to the Bacara on 3/25 for our last night and had a hope that we could receive late check out since we lost time during our vacation (and the week prior) due to the Vespera cancellation and the fact that Bacara did not even have our room ready for 4pm check in. That did not happen. I stay at Marriott properties all the time and expect a higher level of service.

Great birthday stay
Mar 31, 2026Roy MFresno, California
Love staying at the Vespera. The location is great (right next to the pier) and the staff are all very polite. We were there this time for my wife’s birthday and they took extra steps to make us feel welcome and that the day was special. We will definitely be back.
Beautiful place.

Love almost everything about this place. I don’t like that they took the fire pits from the front and turned it into a dining area. The drinks from the outside bar are pricey for them being just eh.

Love almost everything about this place. I don’t like that they took the fire pits from the front and turned it into a dining area. The drinks from the outside bar are pricey for them being just eh. Didn’t like that o had to go to the front desk to get pool towels then one night we got tiny towels. Also an amazingly dog friendly place but they don’t have any dog bowls out for the dogs. The front desk staff is amazing and the valet guys are great! The rooms are cozy and comfortable
