My boyfriend and I just spent 4 days at this hotel and we both had a great time. When you first walk in, you see this beautiful little waterfall with a pond of fish. The property grounds were properly maintained and very picturesque. They also kept the beach front groomed every morning. They had a pond with ducks - some species we have never seen before being that we are from MI, clean pool and hot tub right by it, and different types of Parrots which you see when going to your room(s). My boyfriend and I especially like using their gym - which was located right next to the spa – which has top quality equipment. Our favorite part about it was we could work out outside! Although I didn’t get the chance to take advantage for their spa, the area was clean and warming with very friendly staff. Our room (Deluxe King Bed) was on the 12th floor in the tower. The bed and the pillows were very comfortable; it was hard getting out of bed in the morning. Our room came as describe on their website - full size ironing board, full size closet, flat screen tv, iPod docking station (my favorite for my iphone), hairdryer, etc. Although we didn’t get a room with a bay view our view of the Pacific Ocean AND the city was breathtaking. My boyfriend and I would stand on our balcony and watch the surfers do their thing in the morning and watch the sunset in the evening. Our goal for our trip was to explore San Diego and stay at a very nice hotel which was both accomplished!

Some negatives about the resort:
1. We stayed at the 12th floor on the tower and the first day we stayed there we didn’t really get hot water (I was pissed) BUT I discovered that if you ran the water for at least 5 minutes the hot water was consistent. So the rest of the time, we didn’t have problems with the hot water.
2. Water pressure was okay. My water pressure at my house was MUCH BETTER!
3. Their restaurant (The Atoll) was too pricey for our taste and the waitresses were slow in service. They had a guy there that was like sort of their assistant which he did a much better job in customer service.
4. Had to pay for parking at $13/night for self parking and $16/night for valet. It’s ridiculous they make you have to pay for parking even though you are already paid to stay there!

This is a lovely hotel in a great area! I loved the fun little shops in the area. But more than that, what a wonderful tropical feel to this special resort. The beach is clean and well maintained. The interior grounds feel like you are in a rain forest. The parrots "speaking" to you as you walk by is unique and fun for all. The staff are friendly and attentive. The food was terrific! This is truly just a nice place to stay if you are in the San Diego area. Highly recommended!

Hard to find places like this, perfect resort for a family getaway. Stayed here over new years 2011 and was great. The location is perfect, there is tons of stuff to do, food is close and has a beach on both sides of the resort. We love this place because it really feels like you have left for a tropical escape. Only bad thing that we got was a terrible Mojito from the bar but I think the bar tender was just confused for a min, otherwise stay was fantastic!

This hotel was perfect for our stay on Mission Bay. We spent our first 4 nights in downtown San Diego, then moved to this beautiful, tropical resort. The grounds are lovely (coy ponds and waterfalls), the personnel are very friendly and helpful, and our second floor suite was huge with a balcony overlooking the bay. My son enjoyed the water sports and we both enjoyed the delicious Sunday brunch. The short, one block walk to Pacific Beach was fun and we spent a lot of time watching the surfers and walking along the shore. I will definitely stay here again and will recommend this hotel to anyone I know who wants to stay on Mission Bay while in San Diego.
