We really enjoyed our stay in Avila Beach. The resort was well-maintained, on a cliff overlooking the ocean -- great views. We stayed in a studio unit with full kitchen, that was roomy and very nice. As we don't own at this timeshare, we got a room overlooking the parking lot, but it had a partial view of the beach... More

Beautiful location on CA central coast. High on a hill overlooking the Pacific ocean. Gorgeous sunsets as the background of the swaying palm trees from your balcony room. Difficult to find a room here since it is in high demand. It is a Time Share but they do have some rooms, on occasion, for the walk-in. The main drawback is... More

I love Avila beach...I liked it better before they bulldozed the old charming Avila and built the shiny new one. this hotel is nice, getting a little old, but kept up fairly well. beware of time share sales folk.

My wife and I have stayed there twice. This is a lovely location with many things to do. However, they are part of Diamond International Resorts. This time share company is over priced, with heavy dues. We have owned for three years and have only been able to get a room for 5 nights total. impossible to get reservations anywhere.... More

My husband and I were here 2 years ago and heading back there again this year (in about two weeks) we enjoyed this place so much that we had to go back! The room that we had faced the ocean and every morning we would sit out on the patio area and have breakfast and enjoy the sites.. There were... More

We stayed early March, the Resort was nice, room (2 bedroom) was small and we were glad to have the extra bedroom (our kids could not make the trip, so it was just the 2 of us) to store all of the stuff we bought. The view was great, both from the living room as well as the master bedroom.... More

My Wife & I spent a delightful 6 days at the San Luis Bay Inn & Resort. The weather between February 25th and March 2nd was absolutely unbelievable.

We stayed with friends who own a time share here in mid-January. It was at least our fourth stay over the past eight years, and we're always pleased with the facilities and our accomodations. Most but not all rooms offer a great view of the Pacific. There are a variety of room sizes and types; be clear when booking what... More

To say that this timeshare/hotel has a great location is still somewhat of an understatement. Nevermind that it is the only timeshare in about a 200 mile range along the beautiful, unspoiled central coast of California. The building sits alone on a hillside away from other developments (compare this to the typical timeshare alleys like Florida, Myrtle Beach, etc.). All... More
