Comfortable beds, friendly travelers and all the lovely treats in the room and in the lobby! Plus, I. can stay with my dog and it's 2 blocks from the ocean. Wonderful! The first floor room was a little loud (it's right at street level and near the ice machine and washers), but still had a great stay!

Avila La Fonda Hotel is one of the most enjoyable get-aways a couple can have. Whether you are a young couple or a couple like us who have decades of travel together, this unique, boutique hotel has something for everyone. The property is peaceful and you feel like you’ve stepped into another time and place. Each morning you awaken to the fragrance of fresh baked croissants, from noon to 2pm enjoy some Mexican Coke or beer and the nachos bar, take a nap and come back from 5-6:30 for wine tasting and beautifully arrayed hor ‘d oeuvres and end the night with delicious pie and ice cream at 8 pm. The City of Avila is quaint, calming and beautiful. A one-block walk to the ocean, beautiful beach and our favorite restaurant, The Custom House, and you never even need to leave the covered parking garage unless you choose to. If you do, there’s plenty to do nearby. The staff is well trained in treating us like a special guest. This visit, Emily and Laetitia stood out as exceptional employees.…

This was the best pet friendly, people friendly hotel. We ate breakfast and had happy hour at the hotel. We met the nicest people and everyone loved our dogs. The place is beautiful and I expected to go out in Avilon but loved the hotel so much I hung out there.

Great welcome and excellent treats throughout the day. This is our “go to” place. We always recommend to friends and new people we meet while wine tasting. Suggest having family reunion packages for large families to enjoy as a get together annual stay.

A unique, boutique hotel, with Mexican vibe. We enjoyed the afternoon programs: the wine tasting with cheese platter; and the delicious pies. Great location, very close to the beach. The staff was very friendly and helpful. It was small and accommodating, very different from the big hotel chains. The fireplace and the jacuzzi in the room was great. It is a hidden gem.
