Great hotel right on the beach! Family friendly with games and beach toys for kids. Free use fire pits on site. The hotel has a pool side bar and restaurant. Situated in a cool little beach town with good seafood and cinnamon rolls. The beach was cloudy and cold when we went but the pool was heated and there’s a jacuzzi, which worked out well for my kids. The rooms were large with a large bathroom and nicely decorated. Will definitely come back to stay at this hotel! Read less

The Vespera Resort on Pismo Beach is absolutely phenomenal! The location couldn’t be better—right on the beach and just steps from restaurants, shops, and the pier. It’s the perfect spot for anyone wanting to enjoy everything Pismo has to offer. The hotel itself is full of thoughtful touches that made our stay extra special. We were pleasantly surprised with an upgrade to a king room with a sofa, and the room was spacious, clean, and beautifully designed. The bathroom was incredible—complete with a large soaking tub—and every room has its own private balcony. It was an amazing getaway. There’s live music throughout the day and evening, fire pits to relax around, and even free bike rentals to explore the area. We loved the easy access to the beach and the fun of walking along the boardwalk just outside the hotel. Each room also comes with a star-gazing map and telescope, which was such a unique and magical touch. The on-site restaurant served delicious food, and the staff—from valet to front desk to restaurant servers—were all incredibly accommodating and kind. This resort is charming, unique, and feels like a hidden gem on the Central Coast. It’s easily one of my favorite places I’ve stayed in Central CA. I can’t wait to come back! Read less

Fantastic service and location. Highly recommend dinner was delicious as well. I highly recommend the enchiladas and taquitos. The views were fantastic and the pool had a DJ on Sunday. It was a great family, friendly atmosphere……//.////

The staff were absolutely kind and amazing. You feel so accommodated. The front desk upgraded our room for free and it was so beautiful. The location was perfect. We have two toddlers so going from beach/town to and from our room made it sooo easy. I wouldn’t change a thing about our stay. If you have kiddos, this is a must!

Lovely. Great location and views. Front desk very helpful. Really nice outside area with heatlamps blankets etc….shutoff at 10 was a bit early. Very nice and large and well appointed room. Room was not serviced by 4pm even thought we were out all day. Resort fee and parking fee seem like a lot given room rates.
