Top Avila Beach Hotel Reviews

Pacific Point Resort

Pacific Point Resort

8/10 Good
"Considering room rates are already significant at the coast it seems excessive to charge a resort fee and a parking fee additionally. Then to charge $25 for breakfast that many of the resorts include with the cost of your stay again seems excessive. I could do without the flip flops and water bottle to eliminate the resort fee. The resort is nice, but no nicer than other resorts that do not charge all these additional fees."
