The Avila La Fonda was a great experience. I am actually from the area and live 15 minutes away from this hotel, but for a special night we decided to get a room here. I have never even noticed the hotel visiting Avila Beach in the past, but it was certainly easy to find. Free and easy parking. The exterior... More

My boyfriend and I have stayed here a few times. Never a bad visit. The hotel is a block away from the water and ocean front stores and restaurants. The hotel has underground parking. The decor has a rustic feel. There is a wine and appetizer hour in the lobby every day I believe. You sit down at a large... More

I can't say enough about this hotel. They have great amenities, the staff is awesome and helpful, and there are so many perks! They have added free pie every night, which my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed. Gotta love that Ollalaberry! We even got a room with a balcony which we ate our chocolate croissant on in the morning (another... More

What a wonderful place for a weekend getaway! When we arrived to check in they were very accommodating and very friendly. We stayed in the room with a jacuzzi spa tub and had a balcony with a view and a fireplace. In the room was a basket of complimentary snacks which included bottle water. I felt all we did was...
