Sea Horse Resort

My wife and I wanted to getaway for our anniversary so we stayed here. We had a wonderful time the location was right across from the Pier with an amazing ocean view. Great location across from the restaurants on the pier. The room was clean and this hotel is pet friendly which is very convenient for us since we brought our dog with us. Staff was supportive and attentive and was able to offer great advice on where to eat for breakfast and lunch. Wife and I will be going back next year again. Has a real Hawaiian vibe as you sip your cocktail and watch the sunset over the ocean from your balcony. Highly recommended.

Great staff and beautiful rooms! I Definitely recommend this hotel to everyone! The location and views are spectacular!

Right across the street from Beach

We had been to the Sea Horse in March 2025 and the room was great( top floor, balcony ocean view). We decided to book the same room for our Anniversary/Birthday celebration in September 2025. We booked well in advance (June 2025). We paid nearly double the price, because it is in season. We were ok with that. When we showed up, we were given a ground floor, room. On the street with no view from the sleeping area. This Studio as they referred to it, is a converted office space, with a foyer for a sitting area. Two chairs and a TV a small table and an area with a microwave and mini fridge. I told them that was not what I had booked and that I had booked well in advance. I actually told them it was total BS. and the girl at the desk jumped up and started to tell me she didn't have to take that. Another woman came from the other room and said that was the room we had booked and that we should have contacted them directly. They blamed it on Expedia, yet we had used Expedia in the first booking as well. To say we were pissed is an understatement. If you're going to spend $300 a night, there are far better options available.

We stayed here in March of 2025. We had a nice room with an ocean front balcony view on the top level booked through Expedia. About $170 a night. We booked another stay in June 2025 for September 2025, used the previous booking as the reference for our new booking. The price was nearly double $300 because it is in season. I was ok with that. We showed up on check in day, and they put us in a ground floor with only a deck view right on the street. I objected vehemently( told them it was BS) to the room choice and they blamed it on Expedia. Saying it was because we booked through Expedia and not directly with them. I told them we had booked through Expedia in March and had the room up on the top level and used the same reference for the booking.The room we got is a converted office, turned into a studio room. Scarcely decorated, with no view at all from the bedroom(a 7ft partition wall separates the foyer(they call it a sitting area) from the bedroom . The shower is a 40"X40" water closet and is on the opposite side of the room from the bathroom. The doors that enter the room are office doors with blinds inside the glass. It sits right on the street, and we had 3 incidences where people came trying to open our door as though it was the office. One woman actually walked in and asked us if this was the office.We will not be staying there again, but expect Expedia to contact us and refund us some of the room charges. I took pictures for reference. Terrible experience.

I am giving this property a 10 it’s probably very underrated, but it is the number one location in San Clemente right across from the pier. The rooms are very spacious and large and clean. The view is a 10+ unbelievable what a great value at the seahorse resort, thank you team.

We booked for two nights and were impressed with the cleanliness of the hotel and proximity to the pier. The partial ocean view was better than many hotels with full ocean views (the room was spacious with a full size refrigerator and nice kitchenette), with a direct view of the pier and beach. Check in was easy and the staff were friendly and accommodating. The only negative comments I have are the parking, which is limited and extremely tight, and the narrow stairs which lead to the office and rooms. People with injuries or disabilities might have issues accessing the rooms because the hotel is built into the hillside (as all of them in the area are). Overall, we greatly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend Seahorse Resort.
