A popular ocean-front
hotel in La Jolla Cove, Pantai Inn is a beautiful Balinese-themed property right
across from the boardwalk. The upper-middle-range hotel has 30 rooms, with atmospheric touches like floral couches, carved headboards, and bamboo chairs. In-room amenities include sea-facing balconies, mini-fridges, microwaves, and fireplaces. The inn's free breakfast earns good reviews from
guests, and there's a free laundry service. Guests can also make use of an outdoor space with barbecue grills and a fireplace. But apart from that, there aren't many on-site features. Travelers looking for more features should check out the San Diego Marriott La Jolla, which has an outdoor heated pool, three restaurants, and a bar with an outdoor patio.
Scene
Pretty, Balinese-themed hotel across from the ocean
From the two stone statues
flanking the entrance to the intricately carved wooden furniture in the lobby,
evidence of Pantai Inn’s Balinese theme pop up everywhere. The grounds of the
hotel are decorated with water fountains and colorful and exotic plants including plumeria and hibiscus. A large mural of grassy Bali fields covers one wall
in the breakfast room, and bamboo details show up in the ceiling and staircase. Outside,
a stone fireplace is tucked into one corner of the patio and is surrounded by couches with
floral-patterned cushions. Wicker chairs are available for relaxing and taking
in the ocean views, and there are space heaters for chilly nights.
Location
In La Jolla Cove, across from the ocean
The hotel
is located in La Jolla, a 20-minute drive north of San Diego. It sits across from the boardwalk that runs along the ocean in La Jolla Cove, where seals and seabirds frequent the cliffs below. The area is a bit cramped
with condos and hotels, but there are plenty of restaurants and shops within
walking distance. The Museum of Contemporary Art is less than a 10-minute
walk, and the world-renowned Torrey Pines Golf Course can be reached
by car in under 20 minutes. San Diego International Airport is around a
half-hour drive.
Rooms
Spacious rooms with charming, Balinese-inspired decor and a variety of amenities
The Balinese theme continues
throughout rooms, which come in Studio, One-, Two-, and Three-Bedroom configurations. Decor elements include colorful floral patterns, tropical ceiling fans, and
wicker furnishings. Amenities vary by room type, but all units are spacious, with big flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi. Some units include fireplaces, large balconies
with ocean views, and full kitchens furnished with microwaves, ovens,
refrigerators, and cookware. Attractive bathrooms have earthy
tones and pebbled showers. Guests appreciate thoughtful touches such as the
chocolates provided with turndown service, and the free bottled water
in mini-fridges.
Features
Free breakfast with lots of choices, patio with barbecue grills, and free parking
Pantai Inn provides a free
breakfast of eggs, bacon, sausage, yogurt, and
fruit. Outside of breakfast hours, the lobby is kept stocked with simple refreshments such as coffee, tea,
fruit-infused water, cookies, and fresh fruit. The hotel has an outdoor patio
area with sea views and barbecue grills, and free parking is available. In-room
spa treatments can be arranged for a fee. Wi-Fi is free throughout the property.
