Top San Carlos Beach - The Breakwater Hotel Reviews

Wave Street Inn

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed our stay. It’s in a great location, the rooms were clean and the staff was helpful."

Spindrift Inn

8/10 Good

"What an adorable well maintained inn on the ocean. The reason I gave 4 stars is we had a room facing the street and there’s a bar restaurants across the street who offers entertainment until very late hours and you can hear the music and the crowds of people standing outside. Until around 2 am! So ask for a room ocean side when booking otherwise it’s fabulous great people and an excellent location for walking"

Hotel Pacific

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel, clean, well equipped, superb location"

Stargazer Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great location for the shops on Main Street and the coastal headland trail. The Inn was friendly and quiet. Whilst we appreciate it was in keeping with the Victorian setting it could do with some updating. Check-in was simple and we were looked after by a lovely lady on reception who gave helpful advice on local travel. The spa was closed but we were provided with a very nice half bottle of wine on arrival."
