Sweet family trip

We had an amazing stay at the Pantai. The hotel is unique and gorgeous. Small and cozy. Service was wonderful and friendly. We loved the breakfast and the free beverages whenever we needed them. The happy hour was cute as well, the bartender made our daughter a special shirley temple. Thank you so much, we can't wait to go back!

Bali Vibe at the Ocean

I rarely write reviews as, frankly, so much is really mediocre. The Pantai Inn is a welcome exception. We had an ocean-facing room (and I mean, right across the street) with a king bed and a sweet balcony. They've got a Bali vibe going on with fountains, greenery and several well-maintained low rise buildings. We really appreciated the peace and quiet - despite being next to a street. Good hot breakfast. Easy access to beachside walk and a few steps up to the center of LaJolla. No car needed. Very personal; not a faceless chain. We absolutely will stay again when there.
