Sandpiper Lodge
My family and I had a nice stay here during Spring Break. We really liked that the pool was nicely heated and the wifi was working much better than when we last stayed in December 2025. Would love to see some more breakfast options added such as hot items and hot chocolate for the kids.

Hyatt Place Santa Barbara
Staff was very standoffish. Bathroom was dirty. Generally not my usual experience with Hyatt as I am usually a frequent Hyatt user. Also extremely noisy throughout the day.

Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort
Very family and pet friendly. We have young boys and were traveling with our dog, and the accommodations were perfect - large, clean room, and we felt welcomed throughout the resort. We loved the shuffle board and pool area, and of course the proximity to the beach!
