Disappointed with our stay, largely due to unexpected fees. Nowhere during booking on Travelocity was the $150 pet fee communicated, which was an unwelcome surprise at check-in. On top of that, the $50 daily resort fee felt like overreach during winter when there’s little to no use for the pool, bikes, or beach chairs. Essentially, we paid $50 a day for a subpar breakfast. Speaking of breakfast—arriving at 8:30 AM on a Wednesday, we found the coffee and orange juice were already gone, and the eggs and bacon were ice cold. Overall, the hidden fees of $250 over two days wasn’t worth the price for a mid-February stay bringing out nightly total to $432/day. Wouldn’t book here again mostly due to the hidden fees.

Best hotel in Avila

Lovely property, can't beat the location. The beds and pillows were sooo comfortable. Having a separate living room area and kitchenette was very nice too. The pool and jacuzzi were great and so was the breakfast each morning. Chromecast in the rooms was also great. We came in the off season, forced out of our hometown by fires. Staff was very considerate and upgraded our room to ocean front, which was so kind and was a highlight of our time here. Would recommend this property to anyone and we will be back.

Fabulous spot on the beach! Grounds lovely and room was quiet, comfortable and spacious. Breakfast just very basic. Only reason for the overall average rating was all the fees and taxes that were added on. Be aware there is a required $50 per day resort fee plus tax of $6.25 per day on this fee. There is also a $15 per day parking fee on top. So really they should advertise $71.25 per day fees not including the room charge. I’m not sure that is clear on the Expedia website. I was able to get parking waived for 2 of the 3 days we were there when I brought up my confusion.

Great room right near the ocean with a nice little balcony overlooking the water. Can be a bit noisy because my wife liked to listen to the ocean at nice and we had some drunk people playing and yelling in the surf at midnight. Lived the room and bed and pillows typical of any hotel room- not that comfortable.
