We love this resort. It’s close to all our favorite haunts and it’s like visiting Hawaii! Hot tub and pool area is beautiful! The grounds are immaculate and so green! It’s a botany lovers paradise with the variety of plants and shrubs. Will gladly stay here again!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
the rooms need a modernization. the grounds were in excellent shape
The atmosphere is great, beautiful grounds. The staff and bell boys were all helpful and pleasant. Will definitely stay here again when we go to San Diego again.
This is our second time here so we were expecting a similar experience. We love the access to the bay, beach, and their clean pool. We stayed on the 2nd floor of the tower this trip and it was outdated. The sliding screen patio door didn’t work, the patio door didn’t close fully, the bathroom tub was dirty and awkwardly set up (towels stored in the shower and no bathroom counter space), and the kitchenette sink only had scalding hot water. We’re undecided whether we’ll return due to the tower rooms.
Everything about the property and staff was great from the start. Very accommodating, friendly and helpful. Would recommend to anyone and will definitely be staying here again soon!
What a wonderful place to stay. Beautiful Koi pond with ducks and turtles. Lots of activities for kids that are included in your stay. Free arcade nice swimming pool beach rentals within walking distance (bikes, boards, chairs). Looking forward to coming back someday.
Older resort for sure, that being said my family and I love this place. Full of charm, nice layout, perfect for families with kids. They have parrots and cockatoos, that have been there for long time and they’ll talk to you. Good food onsite, nice beach area with all the rental stuff (bikes, SUP boards, kayaks, boats). I highly recommend this place for families. Perfect location. Nothing fancy, but perfect for families.
