As a four-star hotel claiming to cater to luxury travelers, the room actually used a window-type air conditioner, which gave the room a violent jolt when turned on. The hairdryer was made of oxidized plastic, and they didn't seem to care about replacing it; I had to use a paper towel as a mat. The towels were medium to firm, definitely not new, and a bit yellowed. Otherwise, it was alright; the room was quite clean. I recommend booking a pier-view room; my two bay-view rooms were right above the parking lot, offering only a distant view. Also, the $46 daily vacation fee was really inexplicable. The only things I could use were the free bikes, gym, and pool, which are supposed to be free anyway.

The location is very good, surrounded by sea views and a separate beach. The facilities are old but well maintained.

Resort and staff were nice. Paying to park is annoying. I’m staying at your hotel why am I getting charged to park my car.

Enjoyed the service at check-in provided by Bino. After checking in, he help us with the location for our dinner plans . The following evening he provided suggestions for dining on Shelter Island. Service at breakfast was also excellent. Our valet at check in and check out was also excellent.

If you are there midweek before June 1, plan for the advertised amenities to be closed. Unfortunately, I was unaware of this and so the adult pool did not have food and beverage service, and similar issues throughout my stay.

We had a wonder visit from the moment we step into the resort. The Front desk staff help out us out with checking in, they even waived the parking fee. The rooms were clean and very comfortable. the views of courtyard and boats were great to see. We had a wonderful time and can't wait to book another visit.

Great hotel - just clearly understaffed. Basic needs cant be met - like the front desk being able to answer the phone, or handoff door dash in under 20 minutes. Also, paying for a suite and being given a mobility suite where you cannot hang clothes up to not be on the floor or have 2 people in the bathroom because the shower cannot be contained should be an option at the price. The staff was gracious and the views are great. The bed was very comfortable

They charge $48 for overnight parking for each night on top of so many fees. The breakfast buffet was delicious though. The bonfires were great too.

We came for the first time on our honeymoon and 10 years later we came back and it was just as incredible as the first time. Perfect location, gorgeous views, the staff is amazing. Love all yhe amenities from the pool, the spa, and thr fire pits, all of it. Our room was a tad dated but nothing to fuss over. Got hit with resort and parking fees but thats to be expected so budget accordingly. Otherwise its an incredible experience staying here. You're less than 20 minutes away from all SD attractions- downtown, Balboa Park, La Jolla, Coronado - all relatively close. We may come bacl for our 20 year!
