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.

Nice location, big room and...

Liked: the room was really big, the bed was very comfortable, the bathroom had a full size tub as well as a separate shower. Parking was good as well and the location was walkable to parts of Cambria and the ocean.
Disliked: the breakfast options were very limited; I would call it very light continental- and check in is at 4 pm dont plan on checking in early.

Superb

Liked: Lovely area— great to walk on boardwalk. Room spacious and the spa tub looked great but I never got in it!
Disliked: Breakfast offering minimal and blah— this they could do better. Even a stronger more flavorful coffee would’ve been nice

Very good

Liked: Great location, beautiful rooms, clean, and professional staff.

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

Ruth Sun, 27 July 2025

Good location, terrible water pressure....

Liked: Very nice, spacious clean room. Very nice bathroom but terrible water pressure. Close to hiking trails, moonstone Beach boardwalk and close enough to walk to west side of downtown Cambria.
Disliked: Our room was right by the road so we heard cars passing by as we had to keep the window open until we figured out how to use the AC unit. Hallways were stuffy and it would be a huge stretch to call the lone jacuzzi and small steam room upstairs a "spa." Never stay in 1st floor room as we could hear our neighbors above and down the hall stomping and talking loudly at all hours. Tried to tell staff but they were rarely around. "Free breakfast" consists of a couple of boxes of cereal, milk, limited packages of bagels.
