We stayed 4 nights (M-Th) and enjoyed this property very much. We stayed in a Bay-view room in the tower, which also had an Ocean view. The room was very clean and the property itself was clean and well-maintained. The staff was extremely friendly and courteous. We also did the Sunset Luau, which was a bit pricey for my taste, but it was a lot of fun. If I had to nitpick something, I wish the pool opened sooner than 9am because I tend to be an early riser and coming from the East Coast, I was an even earlier riser. Overall, I would definitely recommend staying at this hotel.

My first impression upon arriving was to view the hotel stars on Trip Advisor as I felt this couldn’t possibly be a 4 star.. no way. No one assisted me with my heavy luggage. The hotel is decorated in Polynesian style but VERY outdated. The rooms have popcorn ceiling too and the carpet in the halls are stained. The patio door was broken but could be jammed into place to work. It was loud and kids EVERYWHERE. There were dirty towels in our bathroom but housekeeping came promo and replaced them. Not too many options for dining. The bay is very beautiful and well kept. All the staff were very polite, but the service at the restaurant was not very good. Our server didn’t even realize she had our table after being seated with a menu for 30 minutes. Nor did she try to make it right; however another server was very kind and offended us a slice of cheesecake and ice cream which was delicious! I just didn’t like the way the hotel looked . I travel a lot and was quite surprised that San Diego of all places would call this a 4-star! It’s truly a 3-star. These aren’t much activities either. I’d likely not stay again if I truly want a 4-star experience.

Great location - amazing scenic grounds - Rooms ok
Amazing location and grounds. If you are looking for newly remodeled rooms, this is not the place....very dated. But if you want a perfect location between the beach (5 min walk) and the Bay (outside your door) this is it. We would have loved quicker service in the dining areas (Good service, not enough help in the kitchen) and fancy rooms, but what we wanted was to be able to walk to the beach and roll out of our rooms onto the bay sand, and it could not have been more convenient. The grounds are amazing, you feel like you're in Hawaii. Birds, ponds, fish, waterfalls, palm trees all around, really spectacular.

Probably wont be back
This property is amazing because it is on the beach and kids can play in the bay all day. Our problem was our room. The room definitely could use some updating but they are pretty big for a hotel room. Our bathroom toliet had poop stuck in the hinges and up u der the lid! It was absolutely disgusting. Our bathroom also smelled of urine so badly. It was like someone peed all over and it was never cleaned, which is probably exactly what happened. There was also black hair on the towels that is just gross. I honestly dont know if I would stay again considering how expensive it is and the disgusting room.

Very family friendly. The hotel is dated but met our needs. The chairs and umbrellas provided by the hotel are great and we loved the location and the property. Can hear fireworks from Sea World and planes. Need to fix closet doors and patio doors which are incredibly loud and hard to open. Should update AC and curtains.
