Great Location , Un Believable View

Restaurant expensive and very limited menu. Hotel grounds were very nice. Rooms were comfortable but could have been cleaner. Parking lot hard to navigate. Staff very helpful and friendly. All in all I would stay there again. Location is tops. It made for a go starting point to our trip.

Family Vacation

The resort was even better than we expected. Room was very clean and perfect for a family with kids. Mission beach and Belmont park were a few minutes away, sea world too. The resort is set up so you don't even need to leave! Private beach right outside!

Jersey Shore

This has to be the loudest Hotel I have ever stayed in. We requested a garden level room at the time of booking and they ended up putting us on the 3rd floor. Turns out the 4th floor is where they hold wedding receptions. Not only Friday Night but Saturday and Sunday night as well. Sunday was the worst with Techno music and yelling and screaming all over the grounds all night. I swear I felt like I was in an episode of Jersey Shore. I will not be staying here again. The management did comp a few charges to the room but that was a little late. upon check in the room was ok except for aome big dark hairs left in the sink

What a wonderful location and area. Couldn't be happier with the hotel, staff, and amenities. Only complaint, was the fridge in our room didn't stay shut and leaked.

Average Getaway

Staff was gracious but construction (renovation) did get in the way (especially the noise factor early in the morning!). The fact that public parking and beach are adjacent to the hotel was a concern.

Average Place -- Great Location

Long walk from room to hotel (quarter mile). Pool and hot tub are very nice. Hotel restaurant was OK, but nothing special. Short walk to Mission Beach and Belmont Park was convenient with kids.
