You just can't beat a stay on the beach. Being fully physically capable, the walk to the beach was easy. They have stairs that go down to the beach, but they were closed. The staff was pleasant and responsive, even though I did get upset that we had to try 4 different refrigerator keys before one would work consistently. But this was the only issue we had with our stay, no big deal. Speaking of the refrigerator key, I was surprised to find that the food and drinks that are in the refrigerators are decently priced, even retail value. I used the fitness room and found the machines to be modern and well-maintained. We also used the pool and jacuzzi by the fitness room, and enjoyed them immensely! There are tide pool on either side of the beach, so if you or your kids like collecting shells, we found some excellent ones! My son also found a sea star (starfish). Of course we left the little one alone. The hotel room was clean and came with everything you might need, although we did have to ask for soap and lotion, which was delivered right away. San Simeon is known for it's elephant seals which lay out a few miles north of the resort. Cambria which is a few miles south, has very cute little shops, restaurants and cafes. Enjoy your stay!

The view from our room was beautiful! We also enjoyed the fireplace since it rained most of the weekend we were there.

I have been staying at the Cavalier for over 40 years. It is unique on the Central Coast because it is a large property that is actually waterfront (the upstairs "Terrace" rooms are so close to the ocean that you can't see the beach when you're in bed - only the ocean). Hotels on the popular Moonstone Beach in nearby Cambria are not waterfront - they have a road between the property and the beach. Plus the staff - from the front desk to the maintenance guys to the staff who brings room service in a golf cart - are all great. Highly recommended.
