I surprised my fiancee by taking her away on a quick trip to Avila Beach for her birthday. I heard so many great things about the Avila La Fonda hotel that I had to try it out and we were not disappointed! The hotel is dog friendly but unfortunatey we heard that they would not be allowing dogs after June... More

The hotel was wonderful, very comfortable and the staff was incredibly nice and helpful. They have great croissants for breakfast, cookies during the... More

We celebrated our 10 year anniversary and had a wonderful time. The staff is friendly and helpful. Avila La Fonda is really a special place. We loved the perks: wine and appetizers in the afternoon, evening pie and coffee, and morning croissants - yummy.

This is a beautiful hotel, 1 block from a fabulous beach. The accommodations are very comfortable and very clean, and as numerous others have mentioned, there are a tremendous number of extras (books to read, DVD's to borrow, cookies, pie, croissants, wine, cheese, and on and on!). It's really one of the most pleasant places I've stayed and I travel... More

What an amazing place to bring your family and simply unwind. Avila La Fonda Hotel is the exact sanctum where stressed out people need to come and recharge their inner-self. A short 1 block from the beach, the hotel is perfectly situated in the center of town. I LOVE this quaint hotel; the Spanish decor, the service, the positive energy... More

We went out there to Avila Beach not knowing what to expect. Avila Beach is a beautiful little place, but it was made greater by La Fonda Hotel. The Hotel was awesome. I'm a big fan of Spanish and Mexican architecture and the hotel had that style and charm. We went out there to Avila Beach to get engaged and... More

We have stayed at La Fonda at least 12 times within the last 3 years. Always a pleasant stay, great rooms, nice atmosphere, freindly service. Although there prices have incresed in recent time you can get a fair deal during the week. We will continue to stay at La Fonda during our central coast trips
