Recently stayed here after checking out a few local hotels and found it to be a gem of a hotel in a quiet peaceful location with good proximity to highway 1, hearst castle & beach, as well as being only a short drive into Cambria. Friendly staff, clean quiet rooms, and everything you need for a nice cozy getaway. Highly... More

They have a 9 hole par 3 golf course, shuffleboard court and a croquet lawn ;all of which are complimentary. It is at the quiet end of Moonstone Beach with beautiful... More

We are the type of people that would not spend a lot of money in a hotel....you don't spend too much time there anyways. This hotel was perfect room #2 in front of the ocean, nice private beach away from everything else. The staff super amazing!

About a month before, we checked out several resorts along Moonstone Beach. What we liked about San Simeon Pines was the location at the end of the road on very spacious grounds. We stayed in the "adult" section. It was easy to walk down the golf course, under the bridge to a small beach, then up the boat ramp to... More

San Simeon Pines Resort offers beautiful grounds, golf course and pool area. The Monterey Cypress trees are especially lovely with Spanish moss dangling from the branches. A light breakfast (including hard-boiled eggs) is included in the room price. During the day you may find yummy homemade cookies in the reception area. Other reviews state that the room furniture is outdated.... More

We've stayed at the San Simeon Pines many times while on our annual 4-day or so vacation to Cambria, staying here when we need to keep the prices more moderate, staying at the Fog Catcher when times are more flush. You won't mistake the San Simeon Pines for an upscale establishment. But the rooms are clean and comfy, the staff... More

Let's do the time warp again!! First off, any hotel/motel that has separate 'Adult areas' and 'Family areas' is awesome! I made a last minute reservation for a King Fireplace room. The people that handle their phone reservations weren't very friendly or helpful the two times I called. I discovered they save rooms for online reservations so if they tell... More

We have stayed there 2 or 3 times a year over the past 20 years. First as a couple and now with our 5 and 2 year old. It is perfect for both. Right next to beautiful lookout point to watch sunsets and otters. Or walk down golf course to Moonstone Beach, our kids favorite. Yes rooms aren't modern but... More

Very nice and quiet place to spend a weekend. Very very close to downtown Cambria, elephant seals, beach - just a great place. People were very friendly and helpful with restaurants and even which things on the menus were really good. Definitely would go there again!

I loved Cambria. We went the whole central coast from la. We did Santa Barbara, Pismo Beach, Morro Bay, Cambria & San Simeon. It was all good, but i liked pismo beach the best. With my 2 little boys age 5 and 1, the butterfly grove there was awesome! As far as San Simeon Pines Resort... it has a kind... More

Thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed review of your trip up the Coast! As you pointed out, it is our outdoor activities that make us stand out from the other motels on Moonstone as we do offer things for kids to do, as well as being a romantic spot. And it sounds like you also... More
