Avila Beach Hotel

Guest rooms are spread across several buildings, each with comfortable bedding, a good-size desk and easy chair. One building, resembling a tree house or a complex of bungalows, is directly on the oceanfront, affording up-close-and-personal views of the water. Some one- and two-bedroom apartments are available, and can be made even larger by adding on a connecting room. They’re great for families or anyone planning an extended stay. The expansive beach bar and restaurant is a popular gathering spot to watch sunsets. Thatched umbrellas shade lounge chairs along the beach adjacent to the pool. A museum is on site, housed in the converted home of Simon Bolivar, liberator of South America. Meets AAA guest room security requirements. Smoke free premises. 157 units, some two bedrooms, three bedrooms, efficiencies and kitchens. 2-4 stories (no elevator), interior/exterior corridors.
