Room 303 was great. The tile, counter tops, wood beams, doors, bed, and closet were excellent. The sauna bath, with fire place connected to the very nice shower was as good as it gets. The only negative is the two wood chairs that are not comfortable at all. Breakfast was ok. Thank you, wife and I really enjoyed it.

Loved everything about the Inn at Avila, we were surprised with the complimentary breakfast which included customs coffee and lattes along with croissant and quiche. Our favorite party was the pie and ice cream that was served daily at 7pm for hotels guest.. absolutely delicious. My family will definitely be rebooking. The room and shower were very delightful and the prime location to the beach and shops made the stay more enjoyable

The first night we had a cheaper room in the back, it was too dark and it had some electrical issues. Then we moved to a front room with balcony and it was perfect!
