    It was great. Everything you expect from a resort. Only thing that was a rip off.... the cocktails were 20 bucks. I don't care were you're at, that's a rip off!! You have to pay for parking as well. Which is a a standard price gouge at most hotels. Otherwise everything was fantastic.

    Nice property with a very convenient location. Could use an update but the property was clean and well maintained. Was surprised at how busy it can be. Overall great experience.

    Great hotel and location. Rooms a little dated but good.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The parking lot is very small and tight, making it difficult to get in and out—especially with kids. It’s definitely not worth the $45 per day parking fee. Additionally, there is a resort fee that was not included in the original room price when we booked, which was disappointing. Overall, while the service was great, the condition of the property and extra costs did not meet our expectations.

    Gorgeous property with a great location

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Excellent location, family friendly, but the resort, particularly the rooms, are dated and worn

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Loved the beach experience with a room on Bay. Restaurant was very good but pricey. Excellent service. We'll be back.

    We try to come a couple times a year and it’s always such fun! Love the aloha vibes! 🍍reggae at the pool is so chill! Plus my kid loves the pool!

    Great couple get away!

    Cons: poor cleaning of facility. The pool area was not cleaned up throughout the day. Walked in to see lots of trash (old food plates, glasses, cans, all over). Over flow of dirty towels. I arrived at pool at 3pm and no staff available to take drink orders or clean mess. I actually saw a hotel guest cleaning up because she said the mess was grossing her out. Facility and rooms very outdated. Limited and outdated charging ports for electronics.

    Every single member of the staff was very customer service oriented, very pleasant and went out of their way to meet every need or request we had!!! The room was very clean. We had an ocean view room that had the perfect view. The hotel was very family friendly and dog friendly. The boardwalk, lawn, lawn chairs and umbrellas were very enjoyable. There were lots of activities put on by the hotel and you could rent bikes, surreys, paddle boards and more right on the beach for a reasonable price. They had a partnership with Bayside Bonfires to put on bonfires on the beach. The hotel is located near lots of restaurants and bars. It’s just about right across the street from the Pacific Ocean and boardwalk. I would definitely stay there again.

    Could use some updating on the patio doors in the bedrooms.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Love the spa and food area. The hotel is out of style, they need to change out the carpets, our hallway smelled so bad! They didn’t clean our room until the evening and we would have to call them to come clean it and bring us toilet paper. It’s so expensive to stay there and it’s not worth it. We wanted to give it another try and we were not please again! I’m very sad because it’s a great place if it was updated and the cleaning service was good. Our water in the shower, leaked all night! The outlets didn’t work and the table was sticky! Please up grade everything so we can return!

    Loveeeeee everything

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    It’s a nice & clean hotel. Made you feel as if you are on a tropical island. This is a great place to stay for families as they hv wonderful amenities & other stores/restaurants are found conveniently within a 10min walk. What would make this an outstanding hotel is if they just gave the hotel a make o we & upgrade some of the furnishing in the rooms.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Stayed in the beach front rooms. They are clean and up to date. Can't beat the view. Feels like walking into hawaiian resort. Worth every penny ! Restaurant on site is excellent. Fresh fish selections and good quality drinks. Beach is clean and kid friendly. Resort is walking distance to several restaurants, bars, coffee shops and shopping .Will be back annually with the family .

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The room and the facility was dated and a bit delapadated. The overall property was nice they just need to update and clean the rooms

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    I will never stay here again

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Overall, we would stay here again if we return to San Diego. We could walk 2 minutes to Pacific Beach for surfing/dining, and it was close to Sea World and routes to other places we travelled.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Location Rooms are outdated. Carpet is filthy with many stains. Curtains are dirty and ripped. Beds are uncomfortable. Door to bathroom doesn’t close properly. Toilet doesn’t flush properly. Safe in room is locked. The kitchen has no utensils, pots, or any dish wares.
