When we travel to San Diego, we always stay on Shelter Island because we like the area. The staff was very friendly and helpful. For the price, Kona Kai is not worth the amount of money you pay to stay there. The resort was nice, but the cost of the rooms and resort fees are excessive. I believe the other hotels on the island are just as nice and far more affordable. Other issues: the bar at the adult pool closed at 5pm on Thursday, the hair dryer in our room was sticking with hair on it, the bathroom door was a barn door and did not lock- very little privacy, and the room was a bit dusty. My family enjoyed the fire pits at night fall and our view of the marina was nice.

How to book the cheapest flight to Encinitas?
Picking up cheap flights to Encinitas is as simple as booking with Orbitz. But if you want to make sure you're grabbing the best flight deals around, here are some tips worth following:

  • Consider taking off from or landing at nearby airports for a cheaper fare. Enter your preferred departure and arrival airports in the form fields, then select the 'Nearby airports' function below. It will list your options, if any.
  • If your plans aren't set in stone, click on the 'Show flexible dates' option to compare flight deals for alternative departure dates. Go with any suitable cheaper fare that pops up.
  • Select 'Show options' to narrow down your search results. You can choose your preferred airline and seating class here. Under 'Sort & Filter' to the left, you can even select whether you want to fly in the morning, afternoon or evening.
  • Book as soon as you've figured out your travel dates. While you can get lucky once in a while, tickets rarely fall in price as your departure date nears.
  • Consider combining your hotels, flights and car rentals into a package deal to make your budget go even further.
  • If you can, avoid flying in high seasons. Airfares are usually at their most expensive during summer, school breaks and around other vacation times like Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
