Great secluded location, but a bit overpriced

by AVB2008

Let's see here... They had great idea - putting resort on island (kind of) with bungalows in tropical setting. First of all you must have car to get around. There is nothing at walking distance from this place.

Pro's: Very nice bay, not far from sea world, San Diego is one of the best cities in US for vacations, lush tropical setting, private bungalows, nice pools, decent bar/restaurant, boats/jet ski for rent, great spot for running/jogging around island (don't be afraid of homeless folks under the bridge), very nice park near by.

Con's: $20/day for parking spot, confusing as hell layout without markers (if you have no map you will be lost - word), $15/day for gym (are you kidding me?), nothing near by.

Regards.

• Pros: Pools, Beach, Ocean, Sea World
• Cons: Price

Not worth the money or time stay somewhere where they cater to their guest

Wow the person who went just for the spa?? I have wanted to stay at this resort for years...we always go to san diego for vacation...I gotta say, I'm glad I tried so I'll never wonder what I'm missing being in those nicer resorts...the pools were very dirty, the whirlpool does not work and is dirty too. I'm not at all a penny pincher but, I gotta tell you, they do nickle and dime you to death. The only thing your rate covers is your room. They are very small too. Nothing even close to a four star resort...which I know what a four star is, we almost always stay in four star resorts on our family vacations...they charge for parking, exercise room use is 20.00 dollars per day ontop of the 22 fee to park. If you want to do anything else at the resort, expect to pay a lot. Nothing comes with your rate except your VERY small room. internet services is outrageous too.

• Pros: the trees on the property are pretty to look at
• Cons: over priced, not a true family resort

HORRIBLE ROOMS!!!!

by vangoghmuse

I have to say -- this place is WAY overpriced and does not deserve a four star rating. We went for the weekend and were disappointed all around. 1st we had to change rooms THREE times because they were filthy. (Complete with left-overs in the toilet and hair on th bathroom floors.) Then when we finally did get to the room we stayed in - it smelled of mildew and mold. The grounds are incredible, but the rooms are disgusting and in serious need of an overhaul. I warn you -- DO NOT PAY a 4 star price for this property -- it's not worth it! Finally - for the price -- the staff was surly, the room service slow and you have to pay $22 a night to park your car outside of your own room. We went with romance in mind and ended up visiting all that the beautiful San Diego had to offer because the rooms were that below a two-star standard.

• Pros: The grounds are lovely.
• Cons: NOT FOUR STAR QUALITY! OVER-PRICED!!! SMELLY, UNCLEAN ROOMS!
