• "It was our first visit and we felt at home at La Fiesta right away.  We were greeted by one of the Owners, Lauren, who has a real gift of hospitality.   She guided us to the best restaurants and exciting attractions.  We selected a 2 level suite that was unlike any we have ever stayed in at an Inn.  We loved the very comfortable sofa sleeper with memory foam mattress and the many extras like the clothes line in the bath that few hotels have.  Having 2 balconies to enjoy our delivered breakfast is the best and that fireplace was awesome"  Mitch & Abigail, Townhouse suite.
• We never had stayed with you before but we are glad that we found such a nice place.  Our 2^nd floor room had just been remodeled and was beautiful.   The carpeting is so deeply cushioned it was wonderful and the colors of the room were so rich.  Our surprise was the breakfast to our room which made us feel so spoiled.  Our pool room even had a view of the ocean.  We will be back! Carla & Roger, Pool area room.

USA Today Travel recommends La Fiesta 

From USA Today:
"For St. Augustine visitors looking for a place with a scenic view of the Atlantic Ocean, La Fiesta Ocean Inn and Suites offers just the spot. The townhouse suites can accommodate up to five guests, and couples will especially enjoy the Jacuzzi bathtub and fireplace. The hotels puts you just 10 minutes from the historic district and 30 seconds away from the cool ocean waters of the Atlantic. When the ocean turns too cold, hop into the massive heated pool. La Fiesta Ocean Inn and Suites 810 A1A Beach Blvd. St. Augustine Beach, FL 32080 904-471-2220" (December 2010)
