The Seabird Resort

San Diego, California

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.

Across the strand from Oceanside beach. Walking distance to train, shops, restaurants, pier, bike surrey rentals. Movie by the pool that we watched from our balcony. Game room for the kids. Perfect beachside getaway.

Stayed at this hotel for Thanksgiving holiday. Very easy check-in experience. The rooms look great and I was especially impressed with the gym as my son and I were able to work out and work off all that Thanksgiving food we ate. The entire check-in process was very easy and everybody was so friendly and helpful.

Beautiful Oceanside resort a short walk from the pier. Very nicely appointed rooms and complete set of amenities. Loved the pool, fitness center and game/rec room!! The Piper gets booked so unless you reserve ahead of time it can’t always accommodate hotel guests.

Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Hotel is beautifully appointed and would definitely return. Love the location and its proximity to the beach and surf. We stayed here for our son's 12th birthday and he had such a great time. Will look to come back for a couples' trip!
