Moonlight Beach Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing clean room for solo traveller!"

Days Inn by Wyndham Encinitas Moonlight Beach

8/10 Good

"There are no coffee pots or microwaves in the rooms. The automatic bathroom light is annoying in the middle of the night. There should be a way to turn it off. A fan runs all of the time in the bathroom. The room was nicely remodeled and very clean. The lobby is being remodeled so breakfast is pretty on existent."

Leucadia Beach Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We absolutely loved our stay at Leucadia Beach Inn! The location was fantastic, close to the beach and all the great spots in the area. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, and our room was the perfect little space for our stay. Having a kitchenette was such a great bonus and made everything feel that much more convenient. It had everything we needed, with so much charm and a relaxed beach-town feel. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!"

Brisa Pacific Hotel Encinitas

10/10 Excellent

"Remodel makes this spot the best value in north county."

Inn at Moonlight Beach

10/10 Excellent

"I've visited Encinitas many times over the years, but staying at the Inn at Moonlight Beach was a uniquely uplifting experience. It felt like a stay at an ashram: peaceful, meditative, and deeply rejuvenating. The details make all the difference. Upon arrival, a small selection of dried fruit with herbs from the inn's own garden and a pot of hot herbal tea were waiting in the room. The room itself was spacious, with an outdoor space facing the garden, which is lit at night with a soft, almost surreal glow. Everything is thoughtfully designed to make you feel welcome and a world away from the hustle of the outside world."
