Hilton Vacation Club San Luis Bay Avila Beach

If you have little ones and want to check in early this is not the place for you and no bfast

at 2...could be a 10. Basically, this hotel is rated either a 10 or a 4, all because the hotel will not be honest with some of their rooms. If you are an owner, or as the front desk told us...needed to book 13 months in advance to get a "better view". Our view is of a 3 walls and a drainage area. So...if you can use time travel, do so and book 13 months ago..or be an owner...otherwise, seems like 50% of the rooms have amazing views, 25% have partial ocean views (very partial) and 25% look at walls. So, the reviews will be 10 out 10 if you get the good room....2-6 is the non-ocean views. ISSUE - just be honest and give people the option to book a room with an accurate description. YES, they all do have balconies, but NO, not every room is an ocean view, or even a garden view. Front desk will just say, we always try to give you the best available room...would be better to say, you have a non-Ocean view, but we will UPGRADE you if a better room is available...which, probably wont be, so we would have booked somewhere else. Property is beautiful...views from the property (except our room) are amazing. This place is mainly for families and feels like a VRBO condo unit more than a nice hotel.

The room was great clean nice pillows and you had room to walk around in

Good

Great views, and just a short walk from the beach and shops!

Lovely view from the room. Very modern and New retrofit of the rooms amenities

Very nice spacious rooms, walking distance to the beach and to the golf club. Spectacular views from the common areas

Great location with easy access to the beach. I suggest trying to get a room on the 4th floor because we had a lot of noise from the people in the room above us and when housekeeping came in it was quite loud. The bathroom tub needed a little more attention before we arrived because there was a lot of hair in the tub but besides that everything else was clean. The rooms have been recently updated and all of the appliances were new. The kitchen was fully stocked with all of the dishware and utensils you would need to make a meal, you just need to bring your ingredients. There is no restaurant on the premises but a card was provided for discount at local restaurants which came in handy. It was disappointing that so many children were running down the hallway and even knocking on doors. That is no fault to the hotel but to the parents who should have been more attentive. Along with the no smoking and pet policy that you sign when checking in, maybe the hotel could put a reminder about being courteous. All in all, we had a nice stay and would recommend the hotel and not hesitate to stay there again.

What a beautiful spot this was. We’ll definitely be returning.

We liked the condo, just the right size and very comfortable. The view was nice but it overlooked the parking lot. Parking was a bit of a problem. We had to park at the bottom and walk up the hill to the building.The lot was full.

Newly remodeled entry and multi use facility looks awesome. New store was full of goodies if needed and vending machines are gone. Always a great stay.

Last 5 years hot tubs always full of children and very yellow Even though there is a child pool and big pool. Kind of tired of it probably time to move on

👍

Great hotel, only issue this trip was the elevators sometimes working and other times they did not.

Representative with checking in staff was sweet and amazing 👏

I’d be giving this place a four star review if it weren’t for the paper thin walls and ceiling. I could practically join in on the conversation with the people next-door. They were up late talking, which was their absolute right, and they weren’t even being loud about it, but almost hearing every word really infringed on my sleep. The foot falls of the people above us were also really loud and hard to ignore. Getting a poor night’s sleep tainted the whole stay and entire next day.

Very nice check-in staff. Great location. Rooms are nice, great kitchenette. The only thing that would make the location better is a restaurant!

We recently stayed at Hilton Vacation Club San Luis Bay in Avila Beach and had a very enjoyable visit. The lobby has been beautifully renovated and gives a great first impression. While the guest rooms are a bit dated compared to the lobby, they were exceptionally clean and well maintained. Our room included a comfortable king bed, a full kitchen, and a partial ocean view if you stepped out onto the balcony and looked toward the water. The extra space and kitchen were a nice bonus for a longer stay. The location is excellent, with easy access to Avila Beach and the surrounding area. Overall, the property could use some room updates, but the cleanliness, amenities, and great location made for a pleasant stay. We would definitely consider staying here again.

Superb

The room was very good, the pool was great, the location is convenient.
