The Seabird Resort

Oceanside, San Diego

Star rating

The hotel

Just steps away from the white sands and surfboards of Southern California, the Seabird Resort is a coastal estate in which you can relax, eat and drink, and get pampered to your hearts content. The hotel offers a beach concierge service with chairs, umbrellas and other essential supplies for you. The standard rooms are spacious, plenty of which offer ocean views - but if you're travelling as a larger group then the suites offer expansive balconies, large soaking tubs, and that extra bit of luxury for your stay. At the Shore Room you'll find iconic views, ocean delicacies, and craft cocktails - often accompanied by live acoustic music sets on 'Sparkling Sundays'. Sunny's Spa and and Beauty Lounge is on hand, whatever treatment you may be after, or relaxing on the chaise lounges around the pool could be enough for you! The hotel is next door to the sister resort, Mission Pacific Hotel, which offers a rooftop bar with live DJ sessions if you're looking for a more lively evening out.

My wife and I were in San Diego for a wedding but decided to stay in Oceanside for a few days prior to enjoy ourselves near the beach. We absolutely LOVED our stay. Our room was comfortable and the bathroom was huge. The staff was so kind and willing to answer all of our questions. We did 3 days of breakfast and took advantage of the buffet which offered an incredible amount of high quality food (albeit we thought it was slightly expensive). I particularly enjoyed the hotel gym which had a lot of high quality equipment, wonderful amenities (towels and filtered water), and it was always so clean. We are already looking to plan another trip and if we end up anywhere near Oceanside we will certainly choose the Seabird. Read less

Great location. Clean, friendly staff, nice place to stay and relax. Walking distance for many shops and restaurants. Foot steps from the beach. Pool and spa is nice. Pool service quick. Rooms large and worth the cost. Family friendly. Pet friendly as well.

The lobby looks nice and people at the front desk are nice. The breakfast at Peper’s was a little overpriced. Not worth $120 to have the buffet. The elevator in the hotel smells weird probably because of the humidity brought by people who go to the pool.

They treat you right! As a Globalist, had high expectations for this property based on peer reviews, and it did not disappoint! Location was excellent, beach amenities on point, room was pristine and had an amazing view, and breakfast was solid as well.
