Relaxing ocean views
Pros:

Surprising beautiful interior with the exception of the lobby. Furnishings in the lobby were old, dated and worn. The ocean front room was exceptional, we only wished, for our price point, we had somewhere to sit, perhaps a lounge chair or love seat.

Best
Pros:

Our stay at this resort was absolutely wonderful from beginning to end. The property was beautiful, clean, and well maintained, with stunning views and a relaxing atmosphere. The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and spotless, making us feel right at home.
The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure we had everything we needed. The amenities, including the pool, restaurants, and recreational activities, exceeded our expectations. Every meal was delicious, with plenty of options to choose from.
This resort was the perfect place to relax and unwind. We truly enjoyed every moment of our stay and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and memorable getaway. We can’t wait to come back!

Pismo escape
Pros:

Beautiful small hotel , wonderful boardwalk and ocean views. Pool bar is under construction but terrace was a great place for dinner and drinks with live music. Great location in Pismo. Valet was superb. The only small thing I want to mention is the balcony glass was very dirty and it felt like the patio area for the room was not clean as you would hope . Other than that great stay !

Perfect Pismo Beach location
Pros:

Beautiful hotel with wonderful services and an appropriate footprint for an elevated beach stay. We were a group of 15 women on a guided tour, room keys ready when we arrived, bag delivery arranged, complimentary glass of champagne to welcome us. Rooms were very clean and comfortable - each came with a bottle of bourbon and a bottle of wine on the console, for purchase. Fitness room just down the hall. In the lobby area, a nice living room, and a small concession area next to check-in, where you could buy wine, snacks, etc. We became fans of the outdoor firepit seating that lead to the boardwalk, pier, and beach. The pool area was under partial construction, on the small side, but comfortable enough. We enjoyed happy hour and the breakfast selections. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent Service and Food
Pros:

Cannot beat the location on the beach. You can walk to the pier, shops and restaurants. Have dinner in Pequin Coastal Cocina. The service and the food were great. After dinner take a drink and sit outside by the fires and watch the sunset. Our room was beautiful and the bathroom large as well.

Construction overwhelmed relaxation
Pros:

There was construction being done at the time of my visit. The sole purpose of the trip for to celebrate my daughter’s 40th birthday and to just relax. I was not aware of the construction until our arrival. There should have been a notice at booking that they were under construction. Hearing hammers and drills over the sound of the the ocean is not relaxing.

Great stay
Pros:

Highly recommend! The hotel is beautiful and clean with great amenities and a staff that was highly customer service focused. It was right on the beach and close to shops and restaurants. The onsite restaurant and bar were good and we ate there several times. There’s also quite a few fire pits and chairs with bar/food service. The rooms were modern and airy and smelled wonderful!We will definitely be back!

Good but Value for price was Lacking
Pros:

The check in was delayed. It was a busy weekend with CalPoly graduation but it was as if they planned for the check in to be late. Otherwise it was a pleasant stay. Nice facilities well maintained. Not worth 1500 a night tho.

Lovely Beachfront retreat
Pros:

Service was amazing, the front desk staff (Brian and Courtney) helped me get the right rooms for my family, provide a gift bag for the graduate, and helped me locate a couple of items I’d misplaced. Not to mention the dining room, they helped set up our grad night dinner with 9 people moving our reservation up last minute. Additionally the rooms were very spacious, lovely decor, comfortable beds, marble tiled bathrooms with elegant fixtures.

Have Granddaughter, Will Travel... to Vespera.
Pros:

Vespera resort is very convenient, on the boardwalk near the Pismo pier, the beach a few steps down and near many restaurants and shopping. The staff is wonderful. The 2- queen bed rooms are comfortable for a couple with two small children. The pool area is large enough with convenient bar and grill service. Staying out after dark on the patio, even when chilly, is great if one can snag one of the gas fireplaces. We've stayed many times now with our granddaughter who loves the proximity to the beach, the spa pool afterward and the ice cream shop a few blocks away!

Not worth the price - it has lost its charm
Pros:

We did keyless, which would have been great... but you need a card key to power the room and Keyless only works on one device... so you still have to get a card key if others are staying with you.
The outside bar is under construction... wasn't too bad, but they also didn't provide a slight compensation for the eyesore in the middle of their grounds.
The pool is tiny.... Enough said.
Driveway is completely catastrophic and tight. - especially if people don't know how to keep the cars moving along.
Valet parking is $50/day - some surrounding hotels don’t even charge
Staff gave false guidance on when to ask for late check out - so when I asked the response was “ Hello, unfortunately we do not have anymore late check-outs available.” - Anymore? How is this allocated? As a Bonvoy Gold member I expected better.
We’ve stayed here several times and this trip showed it has lost its appeal/charm

Great lace to meet
Pros:

The staff made sure to personally connect with us from our formal meetings to the front desk to restaurant staff and the bartender. They were all vested to ensure we had a great experience at their facility.
