Affordable Luxury at Embassy Suites Mandalay Beach Hotel & Resort

Home » DESTINATIONS » Affordable Luxury at Embassy Suites Mandalay Beach Hotel & Resort

Last Modified: August 23, 2023 //  by Anda //  19 Comments

If you are a beach lover nothing will satisfy your need to be close to the water like the Embassy Suites Mandalay Beach Hotel & Resort. Positioned on some of the best real estate in the Oxnard area, this all-suite resort is everything you may want for your beach vacation: waterfront playground, lots of amenities and a wide beach that stretches for miles. Although designated to be a family resort, the retreat is cozy enough to allow an intimate experience.

Location

Embassy Suites Mandalay Beach Hotel is located just 90 minutes upcoast of Los Angeles, in the beautiful coastal town of Oxnard, California. The hottest selling point of this resort is the beautiful, white sand beach in front of the hotel. Nothing can beat that. You can walk out your door and you are just feet from the water’s edge.

Amenities

What makes Embassy Suites Mandalay Beach  Hotel & Resort special is that all rooms are suites with kitchenette areas, separate living rooms and two bathrooms.The resort grounds are very nicely landscaped, with waterfalls accents, tropical plants and giant palm trees.

This is a family friendly hotel, so expect to see a lot of vacationing families during the school breaks and weekends. Although not a five-star experience, the hotel is the perfect place to bring your family for an weekend escape, to relax and clear your mind. Rooms and grounds are very clean and well maintained.


The resort features a very pretty good size lagoon-style pool and large hot tub. Other conveniences include: free breakfast buffet with made-to-order omelettes, daily Manager’s Reception serving wine, beer and cocktails, 24-hour fitness center and spa services and two tennis courts. There is also a small restaurant and bar on the premises, with a pleasant outdoor seating area and a fire pit.

The Embassy Suites Mandalay Beach Hotel is about 20 minutes away from downtown Oxnard, which implies that you’ll have to hire a cab to get anywhere outside the resort, unless you drive your own car.

    Most likely in winter, but not around Christmas. California is beautiful at any time and in winter especially. The ocean is cold though, so even if the temperature will allow time on the beach, you won’t be able to swim in the ocean.

    As an empty-nester I’m generally not a fan of family resorts, but I’ve never met an Embassy Suites property I didn’t like. We rarely spend time in a hotel – usually we’re out exploring – but occasionally a “do nothing and chill”-type holiday is called for. I think this would fit the bill.

    It looks like a great place for the family holidays. Calm, lazy weekend with walking barefoot on the sand is something I should do soon, especially now, when “the Golden Week” in Japan has just started 🙂 I like your photo with these tall palm trees, where the shadows lay down softly on the sand. It gives me the feeling of relaxation 🙂
    It’s good to be back to #theWeeklyPostcard! I really missed it! 🙂

    This looks like a great choice for a family, Anda. We love hotels that are right on the beach, have a pool and a kitchenette so you can cook your own meals if you want to. That Californian coast is fabulous. I must make sure to visit again one day.

    This hotel looks like one of those places to go and just relax, enjoying the views. A “staycation”!

    This is a great hotel! We’ve been meaning to stay up there one of these days. One of my old college roommates got married on the lawn area there. I really liked the beachside location. We always like Embassy Suites because they’re roomy and have good breakfast.

    Anda, I wasn’t expecting this resort to be in Oxnard. We go to Oxnard a lot since we have good friends in there. This hotel sounds like a great options in the area. Sometimes, we agreed to meet our friends on Sunday and we arrive to the area two days before to visit and revisit places we like.

    I love having kitchens on holiday – especially when you are travelling with kids. Eating out is nice but sometimes you just want to relax as if you were at home.

    Very nice overview of the resort, Anda! I agree with everything you said, and you got some great photos of the resort as well. I would also recommend it to others.

    I have never been to an all-inclusive sort of resort, but it does sound relaxing! Great for families.

      This is not an all-inclusive resort, Jessica. It just offers free breakfast.
