Relaxing stay, perfect weather, and plenty to do. The resort itself is older, but they’ve done a solid job maintaining the property overall. That said, as someone who tends to be proactive, I found much of the staff to be more reactive. For example, I had to notify the spa twice that the sauna was not working, and that several shower divider rings were missing, leaving the dividers hanging loose. The lobby had a very long check-in line and didn’t add additional staff at the desk until it was brought to their attention. One morning, I sat outside for about 20 minutes waiting for breakfast service. The doors were wide open and music was playing, but when I asked a staff member what time they opened, she responded, “I think 7am,” which didn’t inspire much confidence. At another point, I locked myself out of my room and encountered a language barrier with the housekeeping staff, which made resolving the issue more difficult than it needed to be. There was also a visibly cracked table that housed a firepit in a common area. While caution tape was placed around it, nothing was moved, repaired, or properly addressed during my entire five-day stay. It remained a noticeable and unattended issue the whole time. If the team were more proactive—addressing issues as they notice them and anticipating guest needs—the experience could easily rise to a much higher level. As it stands, I’d rate it a C+. The location made it great; the service made it just okay.

Incredible stay BUT…there are A LOT of hidden costs. We spent almost $100 per night ON TOP of the Expedia booking for unexpected “resort fees, Etc”. Outside from the sticker shock the resort it’s was fantastic - wonderful staff, great location, great pool, waterfront access. Felt more like Hawaii than SD!

Family friendly resort on beautiful Mission Bay. The grounds are beautiful and well-kept. Five minute walk to the Pacific Beach which has lots of restaurants and coffee shacks. There is a walking path along the beach that is right out the back door of the resort along with big grassy area with lounge chairs (these should be replaced, they are NOT comfortable and in disrepair.) Clean rooms and accommodating staff. Downside: restaurants/bar are quite expensive and not family friendly. Bring your water bottle because you will pay $5-6 for a 12oz bottle of water.

First off when you check in they are going to hit you with a bunch of fees. The rooms are outdated and kind of run down. They seem to spend the money on the koi ponds and landscaping. If you get room 162 just refuse it and get another room. They start moving garbage bins at 5am and they are so loud it sounds like they are moving the cart through your room. How they don’t have pneumatic tires on those carts to quiet them down is beyond me. Spa is way over priced. We went down town and found massages for half price. This place is serviceable but definitely leave a lot to be desired.
