Hotel was lovely and well located . The “ pool view” room was not pool view unless you craned your neck from the little balcony but the room was a nice size . A very limited room service menu for dinner despite the extensive poolside menu for lunch which was odd . All in all a very nice place to stay.

Our 2nd stay here and it was just as amazing, especially while having a baby. No play places but plenty of walking areas and great restaurants, inside and outside. Not to mention they serve amazing coffee until 9pm!!!

Wonderful resort near UCSD
The service was exceptional, the pool and hot tub were great, spa services delightful and food terrific (if somewhat overpriced which is to be expected at a place like this). All the staff were very helpful.
