The Seabird Resort

Took a much-needed self-pampering solo birthday trip and the Seabird was a perfect choice! Loved waking up to the sounds of the ocean waves and very much enjoyed being able to get fresh air from my own balcony. The sound of train (railroad tracks literally 1 block away) stole some of the awesome ambiance but didn't entirely ruin the vibe. Centrally located - I could walk everywhere for coffee, dessert, meals. Loved that there was a beautiful library space for anyone needing a quiet place to get away or do some work. Every detail of the hotel was tastefully and thoughtfully designed to inspire joy and relaxation. The star of the show was definitely the front desk staff - Miriam. Super friendly, warm and engaging . . . I immediately felt welcomed and taken care of as soon as I met Miriam.

Staff is very well trained, efficiently attending to client requests. The grounds are beautiful with many rooms over-looking the ocean. Never knew that this part of Oceanside existed! Would definitely return to the Seabird should I find myself in the area in the future.

Beautiful hotel with great amenities and great customer service. Great ocean view. The gym was great,clean and equipped with latest machines. Rooms very clean with great view.

The Seabird is a really lovely hotel with a great vibe. Comfortable, stylish, quiet and the location right on the beach can't be beat. The staff is friendly, upbeat and efficient. We did not dine in the restaurants, but were very happy with the room service food. This was my 2nd visit to this hotel and I would absolutely recommend it to others. We had some minor hiccups, though. I booked through Amex travel, and the Amex posting for the room I selected displayed a tub in the room. (It should be noted I paid a higher rate for an Ocean View room simply to ensure we got a tub.) Having a tub was super important to my friend whose birthday we were celebrating, so I wrote to the hotel twice before our stay, asking for a room with a tub. The hotel sent boilerplate response ("will do our best to accommodate, but can't guarantee...etc"). It was only upon check-in that we learned that the Amex posting was inaccurate and no such room existed. The Manager did a great job trying to make this up to us which was appreciated. Lesson learned - if something is important, don't trust the photos and CALL the hotel to check. I really do wish that someone had actually focused on my messages sent before check in rather than sending the generic response. Additionally, although we booked spa treatments 3+ weeks in advance, a week before the stay we were notified that due to staff shortage, the timing of our appointments had to be moved which caused us some minor disruption. This notification of the timing change was a week before our visit, so it seemed to me that this would have been sufficient time for Spa management to contract another masseuse (especially given the high cost of the treatments). Finally, we had no housekeeping - A housekeeper did knock on our door at 8:45 a.m. which was way too early. We were then out of the room from 10:30 - 3:00, but it was never cleaned. Now none of these issues are deal breakers, and we ultimately had a great time; however given the high prices for rooms at this resort, it was slightly disappointing and it speaks to a small amount of disorganization that the hotel may want to examine. Did we still have a great time? Yes. Would I stay there again? Absolutely.

This property is fantastic. The service was exceptional. Tyron made us felt special even before arriving and definitely throughout. We were thinking of this property to return with our little one but wanted to check it out first. We will definitely return. Thank you Tyron and staff for a perfect stay.
