We had 14 family members (3 rooms). Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the visit.
Pros:

Everything - From checking in to any needs, the staff was terrific. I believe Katie checked us in. She was absolutely wonderful. (I am really bad remembering names so I'm sorry if I got her name wrong). She even remembered me when I came back into the lobby. This was our second visit and I again noticed how kind, helpful and spot on the staff at breakfast are. The staff taking care of the rooms are also very helpful. Love the remodel.

Cons:

We did have problems with the key cards getting into the pool area. I noticed others had the same issue. Other than that....alll good.

Pros:

Location at the beach, property was clean, breakfast was excellent.

Cons:

Property had construction everyday noise from sanders grinding concrete throughout property, was never informed construction was on going. Room not cleaned one day had to call at 4:45pm, desk stated you must have had a do not disturb sign out, we did not, we were gone all day from the property. They did respond and freshen up the room, but we had to leave delaying getting ready for dinner.

One week of fun, family and sun!’
Pros:

Everything was great until the last Teo days when the resort was undergoing some renovations and the resort was basically cordoned off in a lot of areas. Unfortunate but I guess it needed to be done. The resort should have offered some discount for the inconvenience. I believe they will eventually do so. Thank you.

Perfect destination for families with little kids and toddlers
Pros:

I booked on hotels.com, and the room was so much larger than I imagined. The location is excellent, and it was the perfect vacation for families with toddlers. The resort fee includes EV charging, beach chairs, umbrellas, sand toys, boogie boards, e-bikes, complimentary tix to the aquarium across the street, and discounts on some of the restaurants within walking distance. The Friday night farmers market was so lively. The resort was so close to the beach that it was easier and closer to walk back to my room to use the restroom rather than using the public one at the pier. The included breakfast is perfect for littles (mine really enjoyed the muffins). There’s some lawn games and fire pits. Everyone was so friendly and kind. They give you two reusable water bottles, and there are multiple filling stations around the property. It was my first visit here, and I didn’t expect to fall in love with it, but we will definitely be coming back!

A Little Slice of Heaven
Pros:

Avila Beach House is a little slice of heaven! Our family of 6, soon to be 7, comes here every summer. We so enjoy our time here. :) The remodel recently completed is absolutely beautiful! Although, we thought it was beautiful before. The staff is very kind and helpful, the rooms and grounds are immaculate, the complimentary breakfast is excellent, and the pool/jacuzzi area is great, with beautiful Avila Beach right across the street. Best of both worlds! We are lifelong customers for sure! Thank you Avila Beach House!

Beautiful area, great location
Pros:

Beautiful location and hotel was very nice. Well kept grounds and hotel supplies fun activities on site. Only reason not a 5 star rating, bed was extremely uncomfortable, almost like it was an air bed. Room is a bit noisy due to the very large gap on the door. The door needs a seal around it.
