"We had a fabulous 2 nights at the Avila village inn. The location was beautiful quiet and easy to get to the beach. Few miles away. The ability to get day passes as the neighboring athletic club was unbelievable. What a beautiful club it was too! Pickleball was on our agenda."

"Great place to stay. Had no complaints about the room, the only issue I had was the parking but also it was a busy weekend. Other than that it was great. Will be returning next year and staying again. Also the restaurant tied to the hotel was awesome! 💯"
