    Cozy vibes and great food!

    Super chill spot! The rooftop views are absolutely unreal, and I loved running to grab a surfboard for some wave therapy. Plus, meals were on point! Just wish the room fridge worked better—it left some of my snacks warm and moldy, which was a bummer.

    Relaxing Beach Retreat with Amazing Views

    Our recent stay was highlighted by breathtaking rooftop views that made every meal unforgettable. The cozy room features a personalized minibar, ensuring refreshments catered to our taste. Don’t miss visiting the nearby Malibu Farm for fresh dishes. For a peaceful experience, aim for a room away from the rooftop.

    I had a lovely two-night stay in an upstairs ocean view room. The rooftop dining with the breathtaking views was a highlight, especially their delicious breakfast options. The decor was just as stunning as the photos—really felt like a California beach house! I'd definitely come back.

    cozy vibe
    rooftop bar
    spotty service

    I loved the cozy vibe and the yummy mojitos from the rooftop bar. Watching dolphins jump in the water was a real treat! The rooftop area with sun loungers was perfect for relaxing, and I could easily grab a surfboard to ride some waves. Just a heads up, coffee service could be a bit spotty at times, but it didn't ruin the overall great experience. 😊

    sunset views
    roof deck

    Just a proper fit for a brief hiatus in Malibu with reasonable value. The tacos and spicy margaritas on the roof deck were amazing. Make sure to check out the sunset views from up there.

    great staff
    lack of family activities

    Our stay was fantastic! The complimentary surfboards and paddleboards were a hit with the kids and teens. Plus, sipping morning coffee while admiring the stunning ocean view made our mornings perfect. The staff treated us like family, ensuring we had everything we needed!

    My kids wished there were more family activities, like games or night events to keep the children entertained.

    incredible food

    Couples seeking a cozy retreat

    We found the rooftop bar to be absolutely stunning really the view while sipping drinks made it feel like we were in paradise and the food was just incredible too we had amazing burrata that made us cancel dinner plans so we could enjoy the atmosphere longer

    It wasn't exactly a low-cost stay but I mean for the experience it was all worth it

    I loved my stay at Surfrider! The rooftop views captivated me, and enjoying breakfast there was a highlight. I encountered some distracting highway noise, but the overall charm of the hotel made it a memorable experience.

    attentive service

    charming design but lacking in some details

    The design and overall aesthetics are charming and well thought out. The sea view from our room was absolutely stunning and enhanced our stay.

    However, the service could be more attentive.

    complimentary surfboards
    amazing rooftop views
    great breakfast
    distracting highway noise

    Had an awesome time with friends! We loved using the complimentary surfboards and the free WiFi made planning our days easy. Don't miss breakfast on the rooftop. the views are amazing. Just so you know, the rooftop is a must-visit spot for sunrises and sunset cocktails. Totally recommend it!

    One downside was the noise from the highway near our room. It could get a bit distracting, especially at night.

    tasteful room
    unique mindset
    unclear service
    unpleasant pests
    lack of courtesy

    The upstairs ocean view room had a lovely balcony overlooking the pier, perfect for enjoying the coastal atmosphere. Rooftop dining offered a unique vibe. I appreciated the bar's ambiance. However, upon request, the front desk was unclear about the complimentary SUP board, which led to confusion over charges. There were also ants on the bar, which led to an unfortunate loss of my pastries, and while they cleaned up swiftly, no acknowledgment for the incident was offered.
