Seabonay Beach Resort

We were referred to this hotel by our friends. We spent 4 nights here. We enjoyed our stay and Highly recommend this hotel. Great location. On the beach. The rooms are very spacious comfortable nice and clean. Beautiful Ocean view. The staff are very welcoming and nice. The continental breakfast was very good with great service. Friday night the hotel invited the guests for wine by the pool. It was a beautiful evening and we also had the chance of meeting the lovely owners. We will definitely come back.

Avoid this place!
The «resort», if you dare to call it that, has been lacking in every conceivable manner. We checked in on a Sunday night, and as of Wednesday, our room was just cleaned for the first time. They still missed one trash can to empty, and our dirty dishes were left in the sink. We have no soap to clean them, and the dishwasher is marked out of order.
The place is dated, and really just not very clean. After walking on the tile for 5 minutes after a shower, our feet were black in color.
The ice-​maker in our fridge doesn’t work, and the one ice-​maker the hotel has is also out of order. It appears they expect us to spend more money to buy soap, ice, other cookware for the kitchenette in additional to the rental charge.
The breakfast is mediocre. Nothing too good or bad to say about it. Probably slightly below a Holiday Inn Express.
Staff seem very clueless and disinterested in helping you.
The location isn’t bad, but that is really the only positive of this place. Stay away. For your own sake.

This «resort» is more like a motel. All of the photos that people have shared are 100% accurate! The building is literally falling apart, its a miracle that it is still standing. The photos on the website don’t represent the current condition of the hotel, they must have been taken years ago and the five star reviews have to be paid or by staff or family members.
This is a list of things my family noticed during our stay. The mattress was stained really bad, pillows are also stained (I would hate to hold a black light to it), the tile and grout are filthy, a lot of the furniture is old/​mismatched/​chipped, the balcony is so small you can one fit a chair and one person standing, the railing on the balcony is not secure, the front desk was nice, the kitchen in the Ocean Suite is in one word disgusting, and these are just some of things we noticed.
This was our annual family vacation and we were so excited! My kids were so disappointed that our annual vacation was cut short a few days because this motel was in such bad shape that we were not able to complete our reservation.
Because of the condition of the motel we didn’t complete our stay and asked for half a refund but the management person in California would not honor it. Sharona was rude and very defensive. We are so sad about our experience and can only recommend any family to stay at the beautiful hotel down the street.
Don’t ruin your vacation by staying at Seabonay Beach Motel.

Very nice staff! Easy, fast checkin. The hotel is small and older, but it’s sitting directly on the beach and is clean. The room was very nice with separated sitting, dining, kitchen areas. Back room contained king size bed and tv and bathroom. Free breakfast for 2 with homemade waffles, cereal, fruits, hard boiled eggs, yogurt, bagels ect. We had a great stay and would recommend. Pets are also allowed for a fee

Gross! Gross! Gross! We walked in and automatically noticed how everything was dirty! The comforter was stained and had hair on it. The kitchen sink wouldn’t drain.
Here’s the best part… after lying in bed the next morning I looked over at my friend and see a cock roach crawling up the side of her blanket! We threw the covers off and ran to the front desk. They gave us our hotel fees back but first tried to upgrade us to an ocean front room as if it wasn’t a big deal.
We said no we want our money back and went to a new hotel …
Gross …

Overall a great place to stay from the customer service to the breathtaking views! The drive there is very calm and pretty close to attractions and restaurants. When I first arrived the room was very clean (and stayed clean throughout my week stay). All the toiletries were replenished, beds made, and prompt service. There’s a continental breakfast room with great service from the kind staff. The view from the room can’t get any better! The only thing between you and the beach is the window. The beach is so secluded, you basically have your own private beach. The pool is clean and the lounge area is nice, there are also beach chairs available for guests.

Such an amazing vacation. The staff there is second to none. From the minute we got there, Tatiana (the front desk) was there to help me check in. She even worked some magic to get me a discounted upgrade to an ocean front suite. And she was there to help me navigate through the city. The house maids made sure we had everything we needed to be comfortable. They were really a part of our enjoyment this weekend.
The room was delightful. Couldn’t ask for a better view. It’s literally right on the beach. No better feeling than waking up to the sun rising in our window. The private beach was clean and relaxing. The location was convenient. Only about a mile away from all the restaurants and entertainment.
The only down sides to the room were a small, barely noticeable leak in the air vent and some noise in the pipes in the shower. But was so insignificant. They still receive the much deserved 5 stars.
Honestly don’t understand some of the low ratings and the nit picking on here.
I cannot wait to go back and enjoy this experience again. Thank you all so much.

avoid this place! came in for a two night stay at 2:30 on saturday and checked out at 8:15 am on sunday. room was filthy especially floors. halls smell like a cigar bar although it is supposed to be none smoking. we were supposed to stay two nights to celebrate father’s day and 30^th anniversary. both were ruined. even if it was free i couldn’t stay there. and to top it off our dog came home with fleas on her! this place is old, not maintained and probably going out of business. spend a little more and get a clean room with decent services. we will be disputing our bill and alerting all of the travel sites. what a dump.

Great place to stay! Great ocean view from the side. Balcony was a little small, No Internet in the rooms– spotty connection on patio, and breakfast only allowed for two people, $ 9.00 per person after that– not worth that price. Other than that the hotel has great rooms, beds, and great vacation TV, nice pool and lounging area, is close to great beaches and the beach outside the hotel is beautiful and chairs provided. Would highly recommend! Great hotel.

My girlfriend and I were pleasantly surprised with Seabonay after reading some of the reviews. The room was very clean and spacious, we got a ocean view suite with king bed. Ocean view means you have to look over the balcony to your left, or right, to see the ocean. If you don’t mind springing for the oceanfront, go for it. The beach is gorgeous and Seabonay offers chairs and beach towels (for a small deposit which is fully refundable). The pool was very nice, and clean as well. Our kitchen was clean and the fridge was in working order. They even supply you with a couple of utensils and drinking glasses (and wine glasses). Front desk was helpful but they do close around midnight each night. We received a complimentary breakfast each morning, unfortunately it was the same options every morning. Gotta switch it up a bit! The surrounding area isnt so great, outside of «The Whales Rib», which was featured on Diners, Drive ins, and dives, there isn’t much to be had. That being said, my girlfriend and I were very happy being at Seabonay the entire day. In sum, don’t stress about some of the other reviews, it was a clean, pleasant experience.
The only reason I’m giving Seabonay 4 stars rather than 5 is that some of the amenities are a bit outdated, and the hotel should really look into these improvements as they are inexpensive and important to the clientele: The TVS are too old for 2015. Ours was sort-​of broken. And they only offer about 15 channels. Granted, you should be out on the beach all day anyway, it’s nice however to turn on the tv before bed. Also, the internet was choppy and slow.
Overall we were VERY pleased with our stay and we hope to return in the future.

I would have to write a book of how awful this hotel is. I am attaching pictures if anyone is interested in looking through them. The rooms are absolutely disgusting. The bathrooms are very outdated. The furniture is dirty, disgusting, and trust me the pictures only depicted half of the filth in this hotel. The housekeeping is terrible. If you stay more then a month then they only come every other day excluding weekend which leaves 3 days a week!!! Come on! Housekeeping should be done everyday. Sharon the owner is unresponsive. She said she would call me back after I emailed her the issues but the call never came. Wow! The décor of the room is something of a horror movie. I believe motel 6 offers better accomodations these days. In summary, I would not recommend staying here, especially if you have kids like I do. I had to buy a plastic box from Target so I could bathe my kids in, because the bathtub was FILTHY. The beds are very uncomfortable. The kitchen is horribe, dirty, and outdated. I could go on and on. Contact me if you want more info. Pictures are attached and they do not lie. Seriously stay away.

I recently stayed at Seabonay with my daughter. It was a magical week. This hotel is right in the beach and has the most beautiful view. The suite was roomy and very nice. At night I opened the sliding glass doors and listened to the sound of the waves rolling in. Did I mention magical? However even more than the view I must rave about the staff. I left my C-​Pap machine outside on a bench at the hotel. I didn’t even realize it until I was at the airport. I called the hotel and spoke with Jessie and explained the situation. She then went out of her way and shipped me my machine. I really don’t know what I would’ve done with out her help. We expect the staff to be accommodating during our stay (and they were). However this was above and beyond!!! I will most definitely go back.

Worst ever!!! Old hotel and dirty. Was promised a suite with a fully equipped kitchen. The suite could sleep six. But the kitchen only had two forks and one knife. The stove only had one burner that worked and the frying pan was so disgusting I wouldn’t serve my dog with it. Shower curtain was stained and dirty. Bed linens were hanging on the floor. The tv was old (not a flat screen) and cable service was horrible. The pool was taped off with yellow caution tape because of the repair of balcony on the first floor. I was not informed at time of check-​in. I could probably continue on and on with the discuss of this hotel. With all this said, don’t stay here they should close the place down. If Anthony of Hotel Impossible came here he would have a stroke.

I like this place a lot, it’s very quiet and relaxing. The staff are very polite and nice. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends and family.

Very average place. Rooms are clean. Beach area and pool area are clean and tidy too. They don’t even have blow dryers in the rooms. The pool is nice. Loved the fact that they provide chairs for the beach. Now the downside– breakfast. Very basic and you can’t take anything out of the room. And it’s complimentary for only two people in the room even if you booked for four people. If the other two people want to eat breakfast it would be $ 7 per person, which is NOT worth it. Room had no microwave. You def get what you pay for. Very friendly staff!

Love the beach and outdoor area and staff was friendly. However, the room was disappointing for the price. We were upgraded at no charge to a room with a view. The balcony did face towards the neighboring condos but you could see the beach from it. The room needs updating and cleaning. There was mold around the shower plumbing and dog hair on the coffee table and kitchen table. Great location but can’t recommend the room for the price.

I love their view and outdoor area. Pool needs a little bit of maintenance but overall the beach is amazing and they provide beach chairs. The rooms are spacious, at least the small suite was. It’s a great place for the price and location. Recommended.

Booked this hotel for 2 night before my honeymoon cruise.
Janet on a reservation gave us 614 room. After we came back from the beach she told us that number 419 will be better for us and she checked it and all is perfect there.
When we moved and took a shower I saw huge dust in air condition system in bathroom. Called Janet. She told to make photo and sent it to manager. And she told that hotel will change room for us.
In morning I went to reception to checked if they’ll change room for us and showed photos to Raquel (new girl on reservation). She told me that manager in CA and she will call in 3 – 4 hours and before it she will find new room for us.
Near 10 – 40 a.m. Raquel called me ant told that I had 20 minutes to check-​out or she will called Police! And she told — ”thats not me, that is manager from CA. And if you didn’t told that you’ll place this photos on tripadvisor and booking you’ll may deal with us. But now you have time till 11.”
She know that I’m not US citizenship and try to scary me with police.
We had no another hotel, have no opportunity to booked.
When we went down in 11.19a.m. police already waited for us.
I explained to officer about situation. He was frustrated about it.
Thats all. Look to a photos AND FORGET ABOUT THIS HOTEL.

This facility really needs to be updated or renovated. The private beach is beautiful, but the staff is quite inefficient quoting incorrect prices and not following up on sending confirmations. They did however honor the original price that they quoted even after printing up the bill with the wrong price. The area is upscale, but the facility itself is very outdated and in disrepair. I won’t be staying there again.
