The Seabird Resort

Oceanside, San Diego

Virgin rating

The hotel

Just steps away from the white sands and surfboards of Southern California, the Seabird Resort is a coastal estate in which you can relax, eat and drink, and get pampered to your hearts content. The hotel offers a beach concierge service with chairs, umbrellas and other essential supplies for you. The standard rooms are spacious, plenty of which offer ocean views - but if you're travelling as a larger group then the suites offer expansive balconies, large soaking tubs, and that extra bit of luxury for your stay. At the Shore Room you'll find iconic views, ocean delicacies, and craft cocktails - often accompanied by live acoustic music sets on 'Sparkling Sundays'. Sunny's Spa and and Beauty Lounge is on hand, whatever treatment you may be after, or relaxing on the chaise lounges around the pool could be enough for you! The hotel is next door to the sister resort, Mission Pacific Hotel, which offers a rooftop bar with live DJ sessions if you're looking for a more lively evening out.

The hotel is beautiful but I was charged $100 at the end of my stay. This should be clarified at the time of booking

The Seabird is a beautiful resort with a kind and helpful staff. The amenities are fantastic, especially the access to beach towels, chairs, and umbrellas right at the beach. The staff even come and set it up for you. We had a fun and relaxing week and will be returning.
