This was our first time at this resort and we absoutely loved it. We were fortunate to have an ocean view room. We stayed in a one bedroom and was perfect for the two of us. The room was very clean and spacious. We especially enjoyed the balcony and the view. The resort was immaculate!! Had a nice activity room, pool, and gym. The location was great being that it was right across from the ocean. Also they have a strip of fun souvenior stores to browse. All the restaurants we tried in the area provided good service and great food. Another perk to the resort is that its close to "Hearst Castle" in San Simeon. We really enjoyed a couple tours their. All in all, everything was awesome and can't wait to go again!!! http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/San_Luis_Bay_Inn/r471028 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/San_Luis_Bay_Inn/r471029 We were able to reserve a room with a small kitchen, Queen bed, pull out and a bathroom, in June 08 for Dec 08, we were told that we would have a view of the ocean and did, but in order to see the sea you almost had to fall over the side of the building. We did attend the sales presentation, turned out not such a good time, the man that talked to us and showed the property was not so much the christian he said he was, after hearing how much the 10,000 points cost we were turned off, and then offered lower points of 5,000 and then 2,500 but still the % rates of 19.9 % then 9.76% and then asking what cash would buy we were told a 5% discount and that was the best deal they could do, we turned it down and thanked them after waiting over 21/2 hours ( 90 min ya right) then we hear the dork that walked us around, some big dork named Arian? was cussing at the desk right outside the room our children were waiting in. This is not a resort, it is a hotel/motel and the maids are not very good, they all seem to only speak english when they bring items such as towels that are called for (think 4 persons check in and the then only 2 sets are left in the room so you call and they bring them and you tip them for doing what should have been done) and they speak english but when you catch them just after they leave the room (the same person) they don't understand your speaking english untill you speak to them in spanish, they look shocked (guess they know NO TIP THIS TIME) Well we had a good time but think it is a way over rated property and if that is the flag ship well we can say been there done that and will not wait in line for that again. One last thing the sales staff might want to rethink what they believe to be facts, thinking and knowing are 2 different things and they do a lot of thinking. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/San_Luis_Bay_Inn/r471029 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/San_Luis_Bay_Inn/r471030 We stayed in a two bedroom suite. Had a great time in our comfortable room. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Our children really enjoyed the pool and resort activities. My wife and I enjoyed the nice kitchen, and not having to buy ever meal out. The uncrowded Avila Beach is a nice place to relax and is not near as windy as other central coast beaches. Enjoyed long walks each morning on the Bob Jones trail. Just beautiful. The resort sits above the town of Avila Beach. In the evening, we would leave the windows open and listen to the waves break. Great views of the town, coast, and the surrounding mountians. We plan on returning again this summer. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/San_Luis_Bay_Inn/r471030 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/San_Luis_Bay_Inn/r471031 Beautiful Views and loved that the resort was close to the beach for the kids--they also enjoyed the gym, pool/spa and the pool table! Had great dinner out on the pier while looked down through glass table to see fish and earlier neat breakfast at place with outdoor patio surrounded by flowers both a little pricey but it was vacation.Nice having the kitchenette and even though only got a studio was much nicer than a lot of places we've been.Did had problem with some noisy guests(think they were drunk) down by the pool but mentioned to management and they took care of it.We'll be back --made for a nice vacation get away and close enough to things but away from most crowds..also not as windy as Pismo. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/San_Luis_Bay_Inn/r471031 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/San_Luis_Bay_Inn/r567778 Beautiful Resort-much less tourists than Pismo and the bay is less windy and not as foggy yet still close to do Pismo or Hearst Castle.Nice restaurant that you drive out on the end of Pier with Great food (little pricey $25each) but able to look down in water through glass tables and see fish etc.while eating.Kids liked pool table, gym and pool/spa. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/San_Luis_Bay_Inn/r567778 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/San_Luis_Bay_Inn/r567779 Great Location. Beach is quieter and less wind than others. Small town has gone through rennovations. Nice and peaceful, yet fun. Staff is nicer in person than on the phone, but the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing. Asked the same question 4 times and got different answers each time. Couldn't count on anyone knowing for sure. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/San_Luis_Bay_Inn/r567779 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/San_Luis_Bay_Inn/r471032 the people and roomsthe service the location the points of interest golf coures the beach ,fishing and view and all the towms our close by http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/San_Luis_Bay_Inn/r471032
