The Seabird delivers a fresh take on the classic Southern California seaside resort experience, with grand coastal architecture, breezy living spaces with private balconies, and stunning Pacific views. Plus an expansive pool deck, multiple dining options, and a luxury spa. All set directly on the beach – so close you can see the surfers paddling out in the morning and hear the crash of the waves as you sip cocktails with the setting sun.

At no point did anyone volunteer to help with baggage -- neither the valets nor the staff at the front desk. No bellhops to be found. Upon arrival, there was a huge and very loud wedding reception crowd in the lobby and surrounding areas. It was challenging even to hear the staff upon check-in, and I didn't feel at all relaxed as one would hope after an 8-hour door-to-door trip to a seaside resort. While texting with hotel staff was convenient, you then get bombarded by constant advertising, which was annoying. The pool area was packed with small children who had taken over the jacuzzi as well. There is no desk or chair in the room, which would be helpful for working on a laptop or having room service. When I texted my valet ticket number to have my car brought around, I received a message stating that my ticket number wasn't found. So I handed it to the valet, who promptly disappeared after he brought the car around and parked it in a location where I could not see that he had returned, and strangely, he never came back to let me know it was there -- another valet had to find the keys and give them to me. Spent over $800/night on the most basic room, so I expected a higher quality of service in general -- yes, the rooms and location were great, but the service doesn't match.

The hotel is in a perfect location walking distance to the beach They have a stage that's just incredible and every weekend they have different events happening lots of food vendors if you enjoy having a good drink right off the area there's some wonderful bars that you can just people watch and excellent service We ate at the restaurant at the hotel and that was fantastic!! Highly recommend this location along with how fantastic the staff is above and beyond probably one of the best days I've had in the last 20 plus years

Terrible experience from check in, valet issues to dirty towel in the bathroom, unmade pull out bed that looked as if sheets had not been changed and check out was worse from the valet standpoint as they couldn't find our car. I did complain to the front desk and they reversed the $51 resort fee/ valet fee as I had to wait a long time to locate my vehicle. ,

If you are deciding yes or no about The Seabird, please don't hesitate. It's a beautiful hotel with a very calm and relaxing place for your soul and mind. The staff are wonderful. Rob will make your stay complete. Just express your concerns or needs to him, he will make things 100% better for you. I may be exaggerating but you know what I mean, LOL. Miriam and Tyron are very quick to respond to your need to. Go and have a wonderful stay at The Seabird. We will stay here every time we are in the area, no where else. Until we see you again The Seabird Hotel. Take care every one.

The hotel setting is beautiful and it has the basic resort vibe, however I feel it should have a bar of soap in the rooms as well as a beverage cart or coffee in the lobby in the morning for guests.
So although nice it’s probably not “first class.”
