Bali Vibe at the Ocean
I rarely write reviews as, frankly, so much is really mediocre. The Pantai Inn is a welcome exception. We had an ocean-facing room (and I mean, right across the street) with a king bed and a sweet balcony. They've got a Bali vibe going on with fountains, greenery and several well-maintained low rise buildings. We really appreciated the peace and quiet - despite being next to a street. Good hot breakfast. Easy access to beachside walk and a few steps up to the center of LaJolla. No car needed. Very personal; not a faceless chain. We absolutely will stay again when there.

Such a cute place! Not your commercialized hotel, very quant and personal feel. It’s beautiful and unique. So clean. The breakfast was great and such a beautiful patio to eat on. Can walk to the children’s pool and cove for snorkeling. Would definitely stay again.

We enjoyed our 42nd wedding anniversary in a beautiful suit, just seconds away from the beach. A comfortable bed, full kitchen, and good breakfasts with a view of the ocean. A great staff, and a room just a three-minute walk from dining and shops. We will definitely be back.

Nice little spot, pretty delish continental breakfast and less than 5 minute walk to the beach. I thought it was a bit silly to need to pay $25 a day for a parking pass (since we’re already paying to stay there.) Love how everything was within walking distance so you didn’t have to deal with nightmarish parking around La Jolla. Don’t waste your money for ‘The cave’ $9 a person to walk down a flight of steps to look at the ocean splash around a cave. You’ll be within arms reach with the sea lion & sea otters. Overall, great stay. My kids loved it and we plan to stay again next summer.

Great service all around. It’s the small things that matter and we mattered. The only thing I’d say that may need improvement is the bathroom counter. Definitely needed more space

The property was very cozy and intimate. The style was very classy and had such character which added to making the stay very memorable. The ocean view room 322 was so beautiful even when the day was gloomy, just seeing the water and the horizon, the Sea-lions and Being close to nature, this is one of the best places to stay. Breakfast was included, Employees were so friendly, The rooms were kept very tidy and clean and the complementary coffee cookie soda, water juice were all a plus… This was the place I had in mind when I was thinking about taking my mother to see La Jolla however, she passed away two days ago and that was the reason why I drove there—I wanted to show it to her through me. I’m sure she loved the place as much as I did. Thank you Pantai Inn for such a wonderful evening stay. Can’t wait to come back soon.
