The only negatuve is you need a car to get anywhere. Ubers are expensive in Cali ...everything is expensive. While i enjoyed the Dana Califirnia is way too expensive .
The place itself is beautiful and amazing! The only things we did not like were the noise from the constant planes leaving the airport and the highway being right there, as well as the $35 per day parking fee they charge. Other than that, the staff was kind and helpful, the place clean and beautiful, and location with things to do nearby was perfect!

The staff was great; friendly and helpful. Disappointed that there was no cash on hand so I could break a large bill so I could leave a tip for housekeeping

The property landscape is nice and well kept. The dining options within a walking distance are limited and are not vegetarian friendly ( mostly seafood). The room was clean and in good condition but can be a little noisy.
It was my birthday as the staff overheard us mention it and brought me a piece of cake with a candle and fruit with a glass of wine. I felt very special.

Great staff and awesome property. We loved both the pools. The kids movie night and swim every night was so cool. My daughter enjoyed that activity very much. Very relaxing vacation for us. Conviently located near SeaWorld which made it even better. Would definitely come back again.

Check in was a breeze! We were offered a multitude of upgrade options. The view of the marina was stunning and the walk along the water and the sunsets were spectacular. We had dinner at the restaurant and sat outside. It was delicious and Manny our server was knowledgeable and friendly and made the experience all the more enjoyable.

Everything was good, but the checking was not impressive. The check in lady was not professional, didn’t give any details about the hotel. Was not helpful at all.
The view was beautiful. Staff friendly and responsive. Restaurant on site was delicious with quick service. Movie night at the pool was a hit with the kids. Will definitely be staying again!

Lovely resort style hotel which was good value for money and in a lovely location overlooking the bay. Nice hotel room , clean, comfortable and spacious. It can be quite noisy however as it’s near the airport, our room was on the ground floor and you could hear the room above us walking about which wasn’t great as it did wake us up a few times. Parking is available however it is $35 which is quite expensive compared to some other hotels in the area.

Nice place right on the water, walkable paths, kayak rentals at the facility. Totally no fuss staff helped with a small handful of requests, and they were so delightful.

It was so beautiful. There is music playing, but not aggressively, as you walk the grounds by the magnificent pool and restaurant. The view was absolutely amazing. The staff was so helpful and competent. It’s a quick 5 or 10 minute drive to anything you need. I couldn’t have asked for anything more. My daughter was overworked and exhausted when she arrived, when she left, she was a new woman. The beds (which is usually a big deal for me) were so comfortable. It was a wonderful atmosphere and we had a delightful time. Thanks so very much.

Liked two pool choices. Bartenders at Oasis were awesome.
Front desk attitude was a bit rough every time.

The property was a little loud. But it was clean and easily accessible. While I prefer a hotel to a motel, this was good

Disliked: Staff & service
Bad food offerings. Breakfast buffet only option and was cold. Lunch offerings minimal. Poor child selections. Overall food and snack options terrible. Was told I could walk to the store a few blocks away unacceptable
We always stay here when were in San Diego. I love that its in a secluded area and we love being close to the bay! The pools are fantastic and its very family friendly
Paradise! Paradise!
Custmer service it is the "best of the best"! Great food, great view !
Thank you so much!

A generator was being installed in the outside of the building or two days of my stay and there was drilling, hammering the entire time until 6 p.m.
The room upon checking in was 80 degrees. And the air conditioner was in the bathroom and didn't reach the entire room. Very hot and uncomfortable.
Excellent restaurant, great pool, comfortable rooms with coffe makers, fridge and safe. Very clean with nice beds and shower. Close to beach and airport and shopping and downtown
