When you are looking for an otherworldly escape, but are limited to trips not requiring miles of over-ocean travel, let the brand new Pantai Inn welcome you to a different side of San Diego. Modeled and styled completely to emulate a Balinese resort - from its Indonesian décor and tranquil guest rooms, to the personalized service fit for royalty - this boutique getaway is genuinely distinctive. The inn's fully restored bungalows, townhouses, and cottages are perched along the northern coast of San Diego, in the charming town of La Jolla, where the best of Southern California is within easy reach. The inn overlooks the glittering Pacific, so settle in to your spacious suite for a kicked back California experience. Separate dining areas and living rooms provide ample room to relax, and full kitchens offer convenience for stays short or long. Island essence will definitely find you in the Balinese tiled bathrooms, where hand-hammered copper sinks and soothing rain showers turn ordinary to exceptional. With these thoughtful details and more, you will find Pantai Inn to be wellworthy of its harmonious heralding.

The absolute best room in La Jolla. We have been treated to excellent service, delicious breakfast and amazing sunsets. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a place to rest and reset, take on the Pacific Ocean, or venture into San Diego to stay here. It is first class.

My wife and I enjoyed a two night stay here to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We loved our room (323), which was located upstairs and had a large picture window and balcony overlooking the La Jolla coast that was directly across the street. The room was a large suite with a small kitchen and plenty of space. The hotel is separated into several buildings and is well maintained. There is onsite parking for a fee. A standard pre-made hot breakfast is included. Staff was attentive to our needs. We would definitely stay here again!

I wanted to surprise my husband for his 82nd birthday with an overnight stay at the Pantai Inn. It was everything he wanted, spacious accommodations, a fireplace, ocean view and a staff member, named Travis, who was exceptionally gracious and helpful in making our stay memorable. He not only helped us to our room with our luggage, parked our vehicle for us, transported us to Eddy V’s restaurant and picked us up and returned us to the hotel. He deserves special recognition for the way he treats the hotel guests.

Quaint boutique hotel with great service, including shuttle service to La Jolla Village. Amazing hot breakfast with eggs, sausage, potatoes, waffles, coffee bar, as well as fresh fruit and hot oatmeal. Walking distance to town, and RIGHT on the water. Spectacular ocean views from everywhere, including water front rooms, the dining area, and rooftop, with a bar on site. Came to celebrate my husband’s birthday. This is our new favorite spot! HIGHLY recommend Pantai Inn! 5 stars!!! We will be back from the Bay Area to come here again! LOVED IT!

“We stayed in room 208 for five nights. A beautiful spot looking across Coast Blvd to the Pacific. Private deck, full kitchen and nice small bedroom. The giant TV was a nice bonus for March Madness. Beautiful courtyard and grounds. Very kind staff. Always coffee and tea in the lobby. Fresh fruits, cereal and bagels for breakfast. Walking distance to all the shops and restaurants. There was a mix-up upon check in - we booked full ocean view suite thru LuxuryLink and we were originally shown to a room with no view. Quickly remedied, but since there is only one room like 208 be sure you've confirmed it if that's the room you desire. This is called a luxury property by some - it's not actually luxury if you're thinking Waldorf or Leading Hotels of the World. But it is wonderfully peaceful and beautiful. The adornments in suite weren't my taste (fake flowers, bamboo furniture) but that's v. subjective. Would highly recommend for a relaxing getaway."
