In general, we were very content with our 3 day stay at Avila Lighthouse Suites. Only one issue was bugging us. We had an ocean front room on the second floor in the eastern part of the hotel. The swings at the beach right in front of our room makes a terrible creaking noise, which made the balcony unusable from 10am until sunset, where the swings were in constant use. Please get this fixed.

Well thought we’d have a nice night in Avila. The weather is really lovely ! Booked room at Avila Lighthouse Suites. Have stayed here many times over the years with many fond memories. THIS TRIP IS NOT TURNING OUT THAT WAY.😩 Two parties going on, one with speakers steps from our room. But the real kicker is they are painting and drilling in the room next door. It’s 8:25 PM and drilling is still going on even after many complaints. Definitely not the nice relaxing beach night we thought we would have. Paint fumes now coming into the room now also. Have been to many hotels who have had construction and they always warn you and never work after hours, much less never have fumes coming into another room from connecting doors!😢😩 Front desk has done nothing to stop the work next door. Now hammering too!

The room was quite nice, unfortunately the walls are not soundproof at all. Throughout the night about every 15 minutes what sounded like a motor probably an air conditioning unit would kick on lasted 3-4 minutes, repeat. Unfortunately for us there were children upstairs, heavy feet and running throughout. Property was clean and well maintained, very nice.
