I think the property was ok, the amenities were nice, the rooms looked to be updated. But not fully renovated. My neice found what she thought was a little roach in her bed and thinks she killed it. We kept getting lost everytime we tried to go anywhere. I was disappointed at the boulder rec area. It said no outside food and drink so i threw away my water and breakfast sandwich only to find out the snack bar did not open for another 3 hours. I called the front desk for info and no one answered. Not a very good reveiw. Will probably not go back

Beautiful room with amazing views. A home away from home experience. Everything you could need, all within the property. The Monday evening farmers market was an perfect way to have dinner and get some yummy Hawaiian scented salts for our last night. Will return.

Lots of amenities: 6 pools, kid-friendly activities, 2 golf courses, an onsite restaurant with a 3-hour happy hour, snack shops, a spa, spacious villas with full kitchens, balconies, living rooms, bedrooms and double sink baths with dual head showers. A 45 minute drive to downtown San Diego, but a good location for relaxing or exploring San Diego County... Temecula wine county, Safari Park, Legoland.
