Top Malibu Hotel Reviews

Malibu Beach Inn

10/10 Excellent

"This is a gorgeous property with a definitely upscale vibe. The staff are responsive, friendly and helpful. Our room view was studying and like no other waterfront property!!! Hoggkt recommend!!"

SA Beach by Stay Awhile Villas

10/10 Excellent

"We had an excellent stay at SA Beach #8. The location on Carbon Beach is hard to beat—the ocean views from the suite and private balcony are incredible, and having direct beach access made the entire stay feel special. We stayed for my girlfriend’s birthday, and it was the perfect setting. Waking up to the Pacific, having breakfast overlooking the water, and being able to walk straight down to the beach made for a memorable morning. The suite was clean, comfortable, beautifully designed, and exactly as represented. The Stay Awhile team was also extremely responsive and accommodating, including helping us with early access, a late checkout, and other requests throughout the stay. Great property, great location, and excellent service. We would absolutely stay here again. 5/5."
