The Spotlight on El Colibri Hotel & Spa

A Relaxing Boutique Escape Just Steps from the Coast

Modern yet charming, El Colibri Hotel & Spa is a stylish boutique hotel nestled along Cambria’s Moonstone Beach Drive. With its cozy ambiance, full-service spa, and in-room fireplaces, it’s the perfect retreat after a night of live music. Located within walking distance of Moonstone Beach Park and a short drive from local venues and wine country, this hotel blends tranquility with convenience.

Each room features a deep soaking tub, plush lounge chair, a 32-inch HDTV, and free Wi-Fi—everything you need to unwind. Whether you're catching your favorite artist or road-tripping the coast, El Colibri makes it feel like a weekend getaway with perks.

Check-in starts at 4:00 PM, ideal for arriving after a scenic drive or a soundcheck. You’ll check out at 11:00 AM, giving you time to sleep in after a late night out.

Why Concert-goers love it

Music fans love El Colibri for its peaceful location just off the main drag—far enough from the noise, but still close to Cambria’s cozy venues and wine spots. After a show, you can stroll back to the hotel and recover in the outdoor hot tub or steam room. The spa vibe and fireplace-equipped rooms offer a serene post-concert atmosphere. Plus, free parking and late check-in make arriving stress-free, even after a long gig.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends on a coastal concert road trip
- Solo travelers seeing a favorite act and seeking a luxe, low-key stay
- Couples turning a show night into a romantic weekend
- Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space
- Budget-conscious music fans who want boutique comforts without big city prices

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, El Colibri serves a light breakfast with smoothies, yogurt, and pastries—perfect after a late night. The Wine Bar on site is a cozy spot to toast the night, and you’re walking distance from several laid-back eateries in Cambria. Room service isn’t 24/7, but local options nearby stay open late enough for post-show cravings.

Nightlife Options

The on-site Wine Bar offers a relaxed atmosphere to wind down with a glass of Central Coast vino. For more action, Cambria’s intimate pubs and beachside bars are just a short walk or drive away. Expect a mellow, coastal vibe more than a club scene—ideal for music lovers looking to chill out after a show.

What People Say

Guests rave about the soaking tubs and the peaceful atmosphere—perfect for recovery after a concert. Reviewers love the friendly staff, clean rooms, and boutique spa touches. The location is a hit, especially for those wanting to explore both beach and wine country. Many mention feeling refreshed and relaxed after their stay.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that soundproofing between rooms could be better, so light sleepers might want to pack earplugs—just in case neighbors return late from a show. While breakfast is appreciated, a few guests wished for heartier or hot options. There’s no full restaurant, but plenty of dining spots are nearby.

The Bottom Line

If you're seeking a relaxing, boutique stay near the coast with easy access to local music and wine scenes, El Colibri Hotel & Spa hits all the right notes.

We will not stay here...

Liked: The view was pleasant with trees outside the window. The fireplace was a nice touch. The bed was comfortable. The room was clean.
Disliked: One of the windows was broken and you couldn't open. Room wasn't very soundproof and you could hear the people in the other room and the hotel doors, etc. in general. The shower's water pressure was very disappointing considering it was literally a trickle! We mentioned it to the front desk and they said "we know it's a problem throughout the hotel". What! How can they not do anything about it! The pressure was fine in the sink and the tub (which was a nice tub for a bath but hard to get in and out of) so I assume the shower heads needed cleaning for deposits or it is intentionally that way to save water. I wasn't pleased with their response considering a decent shower is part of the hotel's responsibility. They were not surprised and not sorry with their response.

Very enjoyable stay, would visit...

Liked: Friendly welcoming staff at all times, large comfortable and clean room, convenient for beaches or town, quiet location. We would definitely stay here again.
Disliked: There is no kitchen so there is just a very simple breakfast available this worked fine for us but others might want to be aware and plan accordingly. The room we had did not have the bathtub which was pictured when we made the booking like the breakfast this was fine for us but someone else may be disappointed.

A wonderfully comfortable place to...

Liked: The beds and pillows were very comfortable. Loved fireplace too. Lots of snacks, wine, coffee, tea. etc.Liked having underground parking and the window squeegee window washer for my car! Liked having access in the garage for a luggage caddie.
Disliked: I didn’t like the difficult task of getting in and out of the bathtub. The outer ledge is way too wide to step in and out of. A newer tub would be appreciated with less difficulty.
