This rooms are dated but clean and the overall property has a rustic feel. It’s located next to the beach and the common area is large and cozy. They have the fire pits going every night and sell smore kits incase you didn’t bring your own. We love this place and we will definitely return.

Lovely escape
Asilomar was lovely as it always is. You have to accept that it is an older property so some room furnishings are not shiny or updated. Its charm of historical arquitecture and location win you over despite its shortcomings in modern comfort. It really is an escape from everyday life and the ocean is a short walk away.

Rate stay at an old YWCA camp!
Great stay at an old YWCA camp. I only wish that they would have complimentary coffee and that the dining hall would be less expensive.

Aside from the old rooms, and the sugar ants, we had a lovely time at the resort. The location and the views are worth the stay.
