The Inn at Spanish Bay

The Inn at Spanish Bay exceeded all of my expectations. It is very clean, with exceptional food and even better views. The staff was very kind to my children, and they made our stay very enjoyable.

All was good until it came down to valet. The guy treated me as if I was trying to steal a car or atleast that’s how I felt. I walked up to the man saying “hey I’d like to pick up my car” where he replied “you wanna pick up a car… your car?” With a pause inbetween. Yes ofcourse my car like who else’s. So I responded with “yes my car” and with a very clear attitude response he responded with “ give me your ticket” where you could of simply asked… if you truly hate your job just quit. You’re working there for a reason so please do your job right.

Awesome but dropped off a bit. Even if you're not a golf lover, which I am, the setting here is amazing with stunning views (especially at sunset). If you are a golf lover, add to that, the course is fantastic, challenging with some really tricky and fast greens and ocean front holes along the "in the trees" mountain like holes. The restaurants are very good also. Roy's has some excellent food always, but had a couple of misses and lunch out on the deck is awesome. The other restaurant Pepoli's has some great steaks and more, but on this trip the cook couldn't get the temp right so medium rare was raw, then the re-cook came back medium well. Big bummer for a really expensive meal. In addition, the outside firepit area on the deck where the bagpiper comes up at sunset is very cool and a great way to end a round or the day. The rooms are very nice but not spectacular. Remodeled but smallish and still feel older in style & layout. Also, the ocean view rooms which are very expensive are really golf course view with the ocean far in the distance, kinda on the horizon. Not alot of wave and ocean sounds. Overall very nice, but worth the price? Hmmmm, let's just say, probably won't do it again but was worth the experience once.

Won a live auction package at a charity golf outing last year for a 3-night/3-round stay at The Inn at Spanish Bay. This was a bucket list trip and I was fortunate that my wife joined me along with friends who also golfed. We had a fabulous time. We paid for an upgrade and upon arrival learned that they upgraded us to an executive suite. The facility was outstanding and the service exceptional across the entire resort. From the moment we arrived until we departed, the staff were top-notch first class. We arrived late morning for a noon tee time at Spanish Bay and the valet was quick to unload our rental car and unpack our golf clubs from the travel bags. Valet parking was free. We checked in a the front desk in a matter of minutes and briefly stopped by our suite before they shuttled us over to the golf course. We played all three courses at PBR and the views were absolutely stunning. There are plenty of restaurants onsite to choose from and a fabulous patio bar (cigar friendly!) with excellent cocktails to watch the sunset and listen to the bagpiper each evening. Upon our departure, we were heading to SFO for a few days and decided to use Ship Sticks. The concierge took care of everything. I've stayed at other golf destinations (St. Andrews, Pinehurst, etc.) and the Inn at Spanish Bay is probably now my favorite.
