We stayed at Paradise Point Resort & Spa in San Diego, and the service we experienced truly made the trip unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, Sherlyn at the front desk set the tone for our entire stay. She went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable and genuinely celebrated our arrival. It didn't feel like a standard check-in--it felt like being welcomed home. Sherlyn's warmth, attention to detail, and effort to make us feel special made a lasting impression on us. At Barefoot Bar and Grill, Taylor took excellent care of us during our meals. She made sure we were always comfortable and well taken care of, and you would never guess she's only been working there for a month. Her professionalism, kindness, and natural hospitality really stood out. Nicole, the bartender at the pool, also added to the experience with great service and a friendly, relaxed vibe that made poolside time even better. Overall, the staff here elevated our entire stay. It's rare to find a team that consistently delivers this level of genuine hospitality. We left feeling well taken care of and already looking forward to coming back. read more

Beautiful property with incredible potential, but the service was one of the worst I've experienced at a resort. We waited over 15 minutes at the Barefoot Bar before anyone acknowledged our table or took a drink order. After being seated, we ended up waiting nearly 30 minutes without service and were ready to leave. Unfortunately, the experience didn't improve. When we checked out, it took another 30 minutes for the front desk to retrieve our stored luggage. In total, we spent nearly an hour waiting on things that should have taken just a few minutes. This isn't a staffing issue that guests should have to absorb, it's a management issue. Paradise Point is a beautiful destination, but leadership needs to refocus on guest service, training, and operational execution. Until that happens, the experience doesn't match the setting. read more

This resort was a great spot for finding the nice balance between gentle relaxation and fun activities. This really is a nice resort offering lots of great activities without needing to leave the island. This includes a nice little sandy beach, yummy food options, a little market, reservable sports activities, spa treatments, kids activities, and more! I loved that the island had little nooks and crannies to explore. My favorite morning activity was heading to the morning cafe, ordering a coffee/light breakfast, and walking by the shoreline. There were two restaurants available and they both had delicious options. I believe one of the spots offers live music on select nights. During the day, there was also a little market which offers snacks, clothes, s'more necessities, and more. Additionally, I took advantage of the sports activities by booking the pickleball court. I picked up the equipment (paddles + balls) and headed over there with my group. We had a great time! There pool facilities were also wonderful. There's a few different heated pools and they hosted a little movie night with free popcorn on one of the nights. Lastly, the staff was really great! Everyone I encountered was nice and could answer my questions. No complaints at all! As for the surrounding area, there are fun spots (Seaworld, restaurants, etc.) all within driving distance. The islands a little isolated, but there's lots to do around the city. Would definitely go again! read more

I really should have checked this place before just going off trust me bros! I got sold on this place bc of tiktok but even then the main thing that was highly confusing and a deal breaker was the fact that they only had one bar for their five pools and the only bar isn't located in the adult pool but rather in the family pool! Okay, that wasn't that horrible we could always come by there and get dranks. There isn't pool side service which wasn't any fun at all. We ended up leaving to go to OB for food smh. We come back for a swim and some dranks and the only bar isn't located closed! Mind you, it's a Saturday night I it was only 8. I'm not sure when their bar closes but this is just for families and not recommended for rich aunties lol. Now, I can say I had a great swim! One of the receptionist recommended a pool that isn't that popular and I got a great swim in, that's one of the reason why I went there! I really wanted to swim like I was a kid again, in a pool, just for fun, doing water tricks. Actually I will give them three stars for that and the pools are heated. They could be a tad warmer in my opinion. read more

Paradise Point - Good times - Resorts Near Me - San Diego, California

Tried it again.. so prices of course are quite a bit more... booked a premium lanai room it is spacious but was in the backend of the resort and this is a big property. Can only park one car in the space. They do have a lot of amenities, room service now that is reasonable as far as room service goes.. restaurants on site the island market. Mini golf that is free and several pools. We did have some hiccups.. Keurig didn't work, phone was down.... They did fix it once I called the front desk from my cell. It was pretty crowded this weekend so they did the best they could. Check in is at 4:00 so that's pretty late. If you book you need to do 2 nights to enjoy it.. we did it for a staycation and Easter. Next time it's a bayside room. read more

Paradise Point - Resorts Near Me - San Diego, California

Stayed in a bungalow with fire pit & cove view for two nights. A great place for a staycation, family or couples trip, or even a solo getaway! Beautiful property with several pools, and a variety of things to do such as mini golf, tennis, pickleball, yoga, and options to rent bikes, boats, kayaks and more. Although this was a definite splurge ($49 daily resort fee and additional $49 daily parking fee on top of the room rate) I recommend coming here at least once. The grounds is open to the public, with public beach and cove access and a free public parking lot (but no overnight parking). We had a wonderful time with family and friends celebrating my husband's birthday. read more

Such an underrated place to stay and indulge. Check in was seamless (wish check in staff they would've mentioned the treasure hunt for a prize on the back of the map). Parking is available in the lot next to the conference center or right in front of your room (depending on the room you book). HUGE property, you'll definitely get your steps in. I believe it's over 44 acres. Lots of seagulls, turtles, ducks and other wildlife roaming the property. Great views of the bay and several ponds along the property as well. They have mini golf, sound baths, yoga, bikes and more available for your excursions. The room was lovely, plenty of space, a semi private patio, parking right in front the door, a separate kitchenette (microwave, fridge, sink, coffee maker) a dining table, a walk in closet and spacious bathroom. read more

My Wife and I stayed here last Saturday. We were in room 233. This was a Beach side. Room paid $500 to stay here. Turns out the back door on our room did not have an RFID for our key card to open the door. It was a manual lock being on the resort My Wife and I didn't think much of that and went to hang out with a few people. We met on a fire pit a couple doors over. During that time somebody came into our room, stole my wallet, my credit cards, my cash, and my wife's purse. We found out when security called us the next morning to say they found credit cards and things strung along the beach. I had to cancel all of my credit cards all my auto payments all because they did not have room key access for our back door, but they did on other back doors. This hotel is taking zero responsibility blaming me for being robbed when if they just simply have the key key lock on the back door none of this would've happened. I would not recommend this place. Feels like we got violated twice thanks paradise point read more

We decided on a whim to drive to San Diego for the weekend. We chose paradise point because it's right in the middle of everything and I'm so glad that we did not only was service. Amazing from start to finish. They have two restaurants on site. A dock where you can walk out and rent kayaks, etc. two accessible beaches on the property and to me the best part is you can book your own bungalow, which is what we did. It had a nice garden view. It was so quiet and peaceful. We didn't hear anyone while we were inside. There are five pools . The only downside is only one of them had an outside bar. I thought that there would be more considering it's considered a resort, but of course they do have room service and all that we love the barefoot bar and the bartenders they even remembered our orders from the night before when we came back we decided not to dine at the fancier restaurant and went out instead. In all honesty if you had kids, you could probably spend your entire time at the resort and not need to leave. There's a store that stays open till about eight. There's a day spa all the pools the restaurants it was great. The views of the bay were nice. The room itself was nice very clean. Beds were comfortable even the pillows. There was a couch and there as well and a large shower. They even came to make up our room even though we were only there two nights. I'd stay again in a heartbeat. We had a great time.. read more

We had a great time staying at Paradise Point Resort for the weekend. We stayed in a Bayside Bungalow in the cove area. The room had a sofa bed, coffee table, end table, dining table with 4 chairs, entertainment center with TV, and a wet bar. There was a separate bedroom with a king size bed, two end tables, a desk, and a full size mirror. Both the living room and bedroom had sink/vanity areas and closets. The bathroom area was positioned in between with a tub/shower and toilet. We really appreciated this setup and it worked well for having people stay in the bedroom as well as on the sofa bed. The room was great at first glance, but there were some missed opportunities to make it fantastic. Some easy cosmetic fixes could have really elevated the experience, and it's really surprising that they were overlooked given the cost of the room. The light in the shower area is problematic. I don't know if there's a trick to it, but we each had the light turn off on us while in the shower. If there is a specific way to prevent this from happening, it should be communicated. There is one dedicated parking space right outside each room ($46/night). Our room had an open patio on the bayside with two chairs and a small table. Stepping off the patio, there was a small grass area before reaching the sand on the beach. This was super convenient as we had our dog with us. There was a bonfire pit on the public beach directly in front of the room, which we used to have a get together on one of the nights. We had drinks at Barefoot Bar and Grill, which were really good, but insanely expensive (over $40 for two mai tais to go in 12 oz cups full of ice). I had the breakfast burrito one morning from the food delivery menu. It was a little over $20. It wasn't bad, but I found it to be bland. The salsa that came with it didn't help at all and had zero spice, like no peppers had been used at all in making it. There are several walking paths around the property and lots of birds and turtles in the water, with plenty of areas to sit and watch them. There is also a tower to climb. We didn't have a chance to participate in the activities offered, but there are a lot. Among them - miniature golf, several swimming pools, tennis, a marina, and bikes. read more

I was very disappointed with our stay. We came hoping to create a memorable birthday experience, but unfortunately the condition of the resort did not meet our expectations. The room had spiders and other critters coming down from the ceiling, and it smelled as though it had not been properly cleaned. The floors were filthy, and it felt as if the cleaning equipment itself was not being maintained. When a place calls itself "Paradise," that standard should apply not only to the beautiful outdoor surroundings but also to the cleanliness and comfort of the rooms. The pools also appeared unclean, which made it difficult to fully enjoy the amenities. Throughout the resort, including near several restaurants, there were strong odors that suggested grease traps or cleaning areas had not been properly maintained. We had planned to order food within the resort, but the unpleasant smells discouraged us from doing so. I believe the resort would greatly benefit from investing in additional staff and more consistent maintenance. This review is intended as constructive feedback to help improve the guest experience and bring the property up to the standard its name promises. read more

They couldn't follow simple requests you have made before coming,Bugs, dirty sheets, dirty towels, dirty walls, horrible service at the bare foot restaurant( don't make you feel welcomed), Dust, broken things. They don't take your issue seriously. For being a paradise resort would have expected much much better. Instead left disappointed. Don't recommend, unless you really want to spend your time with the bugs. Lights weren't working outside also the electrical outlets don't work either. The time wasn't even on right. Just bad have more pictures but wouldn't allow me to post past 20 read more

I have been coming to this hotel annually for 5 years. They have become so petty they require even small toddlers to wear wrists bands at the pool, and make someone who purchased a suite pay for parking that used to include at least one parking spot per room. They are desperate to charge anything extra and the hotel manager was extremely rude and desperate for $50. There are groups of people that sneak in to the hotel pool but they can't even treat their returning guests that drop 3k on 3 nights well. We will go somewhere else very year now. read more

Shocked this place has a 4 star review on Apple Maps. They are TRYING to be nice, but actually aren't. Our door handle to our bathroom was from a 1990's sliding glass door. The food2you was HORRIBLE. Want to get pooped on? It's very likely with the amount of birds flying around. Their water features are not clean. Their pools are not clean. If you're looking for luxury, this place is NOT. IT. You do not get what you pay for. And you overpay for every little thing. read more

We had the best family vacation at Paradise Point! The amenities are great: Pool/Jacuzzi, steps free m beach, pet friendly, close proximity to San Diego sites, Barefoot Bar so great, staff very friendly and helpful, comfortable rooms with a private patio! I highly recommend this resort for a fun filled family vacation in San Diego, California! It does not disappoint:) read more

I have been here many times and my best encounter and service is with Samantha in the front desk upon checking in!! She was so sweet, friendly, kindly greeted, and knowledgeable of the hotel and has a great positive attitude. She has exceeded a 5 star rating !!! I always liked the resort for its private beaches so know that I come here often and it's never a time I could say 5 stars satisfaction until now. Downside, I don't like how there's so much "public parking " for non guests now in the resort. I liked it more when it was private and can enjoy the entrance of the resort. Now it's always crowded - not for guest parking but takes away the entrances beauty approaching in. Food service is meh. I won't really touch on that because it's never that great when I tried it. Gift shop doesn't have much stuff and overpriced. Gym is nice. Pools are great if you're into it-but packed with families that will stay out all day so be sure to go out there at 7am and snag your chairs and shade. However, this review is for my GREAT SERVICE with Samantha ! Please give her recognition for her great work and being a great asset to this resort ! I hope to see her on my next time I take a vacation at the resort. read more

I kayaked, I jetskii'nod, I bonfire'd, but most importantly, I ate. Paradise Point is situated in what has been called a man-made island. Our room was awesome and the barn doors leading to the restroom was a nice touch. The pillows were a little too soft for my liking but I just stacked it on top of the pillows from the other bed that we didn't use. Our patio had a nice view of the...parking lot. I did love having to only send a quick text over to the staff for any questions I had as opposed to calling over for a simple question. Setting up reservations for dinner and water activities was easy enough. A QR code can be scanned at the Island Market and my party was able to reserve the amenities pretty easily. However, reserving the rooms entailed a lot of follow ups as there was a lot of miscommunication. Fortunately, the staff was friendly enough to remove our parking and resort fees for the complications that arose. SeaWorld is right next to Paradise Point so you can watch the fireworks from the beach at night if you prefer. My party had a bonfire dinner and finished off the weekend with fireworks. The staff are friendly, the water activities are fun, but reserving the rooms and checking in was a bit of a hassle. I wouldn't mind coming back here again, though. read more

Rooms are not ready at check in. Staff is incredibly rude at the front desk. Checkin line was 30 mins on a Sunday. Overpriced rooms. Nasty lobby bathrooms. The hotel grounds are deteriorating, the pool is old, and this place should not be asking for anything over $100 a night. They think because they are on the water they deserve to rip people off. This hotel is now a bottom barrel overpriced trap. Will never come back. No hospitality whatsoever. Don't waste your time or money on this once great hotel because the pictures are not a current reflection of the hotel in 2026. read more

The best pure example of beautiful san diego. My visit started with incredible service at the reception desk,I was welcomed graciously and felt immediately at home. I was offered an upgrade for my wife's birthday and when we entered the room we were astonished at how spacious and attractive our accommodations were. With five heated pools to choose we felt like we had a private pool with only a few guests although they were at capacity. Help when needed was only a phone call away with every service gladly offered. Riding bikes through the resort was a great tropical feel of many things to see surrounded by water. Keep in mind that the property is over 50 years old but that maturity lends itself to spectacular mature landscaping. Should you need a stay cation or are visiting san diego this is the place to stay, relax , and be spoiled. read more

We booked a weekend getaway here for our 25th anniversary. We previously stayed in January 2025 and had a great experience, so we returned for two nights. Check-in was smooth, but we were surprised to find our total differed from our Expedia receipt. We were told parking would be $49/night, which hadn't been disclosed on any communication received from Expedia. To their credit, the manager kindly reduced it to $22/night, which we appreciated--though it still felt odd given each bungalow has a designated parking spot, and we were not charged on our previous stay! The bungalow itself was clean, spacious, and well-stocked with coffee and two complimentary waters. There was a noticeable lingering cleaning product smell for a while, but overall the room was comfortable. We also enjoyed the small private yard with chairs, and the location near the jacuzzi was a plus (even if our previous visit had a better view). One ongoing frustration is the lack of in-room entertainment. Although were were given a list of channels, the TV itself has no guide, so you're left scrolling through channels, and there are no streaming options or ability to connect your own device. After a long day out, that made it harder to unwind. Overall, we had a good stay, but a few inconveniences may make us consider other options next time. read more

Disclaimer I'm not a bot or some paid reviewer I'm just a mom that rarely goes on vacation. I was so reluctant to book this place because I saw the ratings, I saw all the photos and omg it all scared the crap out of me. It was risky but I couldn't resist the 5 heated pools, beach access on top of the booking.com special mobile rate I had. I took my chances and thank god I did. I literally just came back from this place yesterday and let me just say I was pleasantly surprised. So much so I had to leave a review for anyone on the fence about this place due to the low ratings on here. My whole experience there was really nothing short of great from check in to check out. We stayed here for a week for me and my sons bday. He was turning 6 during our stay so we drove 5.5 hours from the Bay Area to go to Legoland so you better believe I was hoping this was gonna be a good vacation. When we checked in, the front desk person--who was quite lovely--asked about the occasion, we said birthday so he offered us complimentary champagne that was delivered to our room upon arrival. He also gave us a room right in the middle of everything. We were close to the main pool, had beach access, mini golf, and the water and ice station being around the corner was a nice convenience. Not to mention the parking was literally right in front of the rooms so you can have in an out access whenever you want unlike staying at a hotel and having to tip valet or walking through a huge parking lot. The room itself was nice and big (and clean--bug free to be specific). You do have to tell the front desk you want your room serviced everyday otherwise they won't come to your room and make your bed. We did every other day but housekeeping still kept coming everyday which was a nice little bonus. They would even put my son's stuffies on top of the pillows in such a cute way. However if they miss your room or if you need anything they were pretty on point with attending our needs right away since housekeeping drove around in golf carts. The beds were a little stiff not the most comfortable. I did have to ask for extra pillows which helped a little. The walls were a bit thin, I'm sure my neighbor heard our perpetually loud talking 6 year old all night. I didn't bother with the TV channels because we always bring our Roku whenever we travel. They offer free water bottles which come with the resort amenities. I do wish they had some type of table with chairs because there were times when we ate in the room and had to keep moving the tiny side table to the edge of the bed as a dining table but no biggie. There were cute little gazebos around the pond that would've made great places to sit and eat or read a book and just relax. Our first night we ate at barefoot bar and grill which actually had some of the better poke in SD imo (we tried the highly rated Hawaiian Fresh Seafood poke at liberty station. It was ok. And this is coming from someone originally from Hawaii). We used the main pool everyday since it was heated--a huge plus. At night they had a movie playing in-front of the pool on a big screen for the kids while they get to swim which I thought was awesome, they called it "dive-in movie" and served free popcorn as well. I wish we got to try the hot tub but it was literally pack like sardines with teenagers all day everyday, like go swim or something let us adults have a turn. The beach access was nice, just across from the rooms. It's open to the public so on the weekends it can get extra packed. We played mini golf which was free as most of the activities are, if you do want to do any of the activities esp mini golf just be sure to book in advance because it fills up pretty quick. Full disclosure there are 18 holes but you wouldn't know because 10-18 are on the opposite side of the area, there are no signs or map that tells you so. We didn't know that so just ended up doing 9 kinda worked out because my son was having a hissy fit from losing lol. Last but not least the check out was quick, took like 3 minutes. I didn't have any extra surprise charges or anything like that. Like I mentioned I had a really good booking.com mobile exclusive deal that I couldn't pass on. So be in the look out for anything like that on booking sites. For the price we paid it made our stay even better. All in all our overall stay was everything I was hoping for and more. So if you want a nice family vacation stay at Paradise Point SD. And keep in mind there are more people that usually leave bad reviews than good (and no I do not work for the resort lol). I just wanted to leave a nice review because I had the worse anxiety before staying at this place due to the 3 stars. People made this out to be some roach motel, but let me tell you it is anything but that. It is indeed a lovely tropical getaway. So take a chance and see for yourself. read more

Excellent bungalow style room right on the beach. There are a ton of aquatic or land rentals to choose from rented out at an hourly rate. We chose to do the 4 person bike and ride it around the property across the way to the park. There were also several pools to choose from and the one we went to was lagoon style where you walk into the shallow and it gradually goes deeper. All in all it was a great stay. read more

I've stayed here 2 years in a row and this will be the last time. The property and location are all this place has going for it and there's just so much better to choose from in SD I had the worst night of sleep of my life, I've had a migraine all day from the lack of sleep. - uncomfortable bed - noisy fridge (had to unplug it in the middle of the night) - DIRTY room (dust and dead flies) - wall AC unit is ineffective but also extremely loud - stuffy room even though is was 60 degrees outside - coffee maker in the room didn't work! - the room is bare bones, zero amenities Disgusting, horrific experience. Don't stay here! read more

This place is amazing! The staff is wonderful and the grounds were so beautiful. The events that they offer for the resort are so much fun and very family friendly. This resort was definitely made for families to enjoy. The only thing that fell short was the cleanliness of the bungalow. The bungalow needed a good cleaning in the kitchen and bathroom areas. Aside from that I highly recommend coming this resort. It was so nice to stay in the bungalow and open the door to the ocean. read more

There are so many improvements that could make this better. First, this is truly a family budget-friendly resort (also said by my Uber driver), not a conference hotel. The rooms are dated, and I had ants, giant gnats crawling on me when I was in bed, and mosquitoes in the room. I did not open the doors to get outside bugs in) maybe because my "upgraded room" faced the beach they came in. The room was spacious, so that was a plus, and it does have a beach resort theme with the color scheme. The bathroom was renovated and is lovely. There is excellent water pressure and temperature in the shower. However, the body wash was out and not checked. I'm assuming it's not an everyday checklist item The clean crew left chemicals in my room and only halfway cleaned the sink when I saw the hair clippings remaining from a morning shave. The most disappointing was the transit system of shuttles. The mechanism to call the front desk and request a ride or text a number and request a ride is DEEPLY flawed. I had to walk to the front desk, which was not close to the way with luggage, because the driver either didn't come or didn't come on time. On my last day, I contacted the driver/ front desk via text messages to request a pickup from my room (I resolved I was not going to get a ride from the conference center back to the hotel room because, again, there was no way to contact the shuttle/cart. I thought they would be on time if I contacted them to pick me up at a designated time. They responded that they would pick me up 5 minutes after my suggestion. I waited over 12 minutes after my suggested time, and as I walked again to the hotel lobby, I ran across the cart coming up late. The food is slightly overpriced, but that's expected for a "resort." It's not a conference hotel/resort. read more

Paradise Point Resort & Spa is one of those places that doesn't even feel like San Diego -- it feels like you left the country and landed on a private island. The entire property is spread out across a massive island on Mission Bay, so you're not dealing with a crowded hotel vibe. You get bungalow-style rooms surrounded by tropical landscaping, lagoons, and water in every direction. It's quiet, private, and actually relaxing. What really makes this place stand out is how much there is to do without ever leaving. Multiple pools, hot tubs, private beach areas, bike rentals, fire pits, and water activities -- you can easily spend a full day (or multiple days) just enjoying the property. The spa experience is top-tier. Everything is designed to slow you down -- from the treatment rooms to the steam room and jacuzzi. Perfect reset environment. The vibe is a mix of relaxing and fun. You've got quiet areas if you want to unwind, but also enough activity and energy if you're there with friends or family. That balance is hard to find. Staff was friendly and accommodating, and everything ran smooth. No issues, no stress. Bottom line: if you know how to use this property right, it's one of the best resort experiences in San Diego. It's not just a stay -- it's an experience. 10/10 -- would absolutely come back. read more

What the absolute F*ck happened to this place? We're currently checked into a bayside bungalow with the attached 2 queen room. Rooms 434 and 435. They're absolutely DISGUSTING. Covered in bugs and I'm itching like crazy. The first night I told the front desk about it via the chat and they sent a young kid over with a towel and a spray bottle. Not surprised the issue was worse today. I sent them pictures and videos and texted it over since no one answered the phones. One hour later no response so I reached out to Expedia and was told that someone would reach out to me immediately to move me out of the room. My whole body is itching uncontrollably. Don't stay here. It's literally giving Motel 6 vibes but for the price of a four seasons. I'm not the only one having this experience. Sort by the most recent and you'll see that all of the most recent reviews are one stars read more

Paradise Point is always a great getaway. The staff very helpful and pleasant. The text system to get any and all needs promptly taken care of during your stay is convenience at its best. I love how there's a an option of an Adult only pool in addition to the other 3 on the grounds. They have in room aluminum waters you can reuse at stations throughout the resort and at the pools. The beachfront bungalows are my favorite since you wake up to the ocean everyday and my husband has the easiest way to surf fish. There's an abundance of activities and a water sport center to rent any conveyance for fun on the water! The barefoot grill is casual dining and a lovely place but a more refined cuisine and ambiance is the Tidal restaurant. There are so many cozy places to sit by a fire pit or fire place. read more

As a San Diego resident, I am super disappointed- zero service- outside of the bar (duh) Terrible drinks at pool, absolutely no room service, help with the front desk (had to call 8 times from me and my partner's personal phone just to ask for blankets). Was hung up on twice by "front desk". This is not the first time with issues here yet I chose to keep paying fair: complete waste of time and lots of money for staying it what's equivalent to the San Diego rescue mission. Disgusted and they ruined what was supposed to be a nice relaxing getaway. Oh also- zero management on site or around to care. BBB will be the only way to get their attention. read more

Where do i begin. The room had black bugs and a lot!! Baby roaches aka water bugs. The out door furniture was sandy and dirty. We went to the pool. It was nice but the drinks and food had an additional 20% tax!!! Apart from an expensive week stay with roaches and now 20% tax!! After we talked to the front desk they couldn't come with us to send us to another location. The only other location they had was the presidential suite and they couldn't give this to us so they were fully booked. At that moment, I said OK go ahead and just cancel my reservation. They went ahead and said OK. We canceled it and make sure I got all my money back and we went to the. Bahia. Now that place is near the amusement park and bike riding. No 20% increase in tax there. Do your homework there are better places around the area. Don't be fooled. read more

I could tell from the negative reviews that people were being nitpicky and I ignored them and went away. So glad I did! For the amount we paid (roughly $300 a night plus tax), we really felt like we got our money's worth. Did we have a beachfront room? No. Was every bit of service on point? No. But we were on a budget, and the garden view room we stayed in was comfortable and cute. Plus, the special rate we paid included parking and resort fees, so we weren't hit with sticker shock when we checked out. We were looking for an affordable beach resort that allowed dogs and wasn't too far of a drive from LA. This place checked all those boxes. We stayed for three nights, but I felt like we could've stayed for two more and never would've been bored. We rented a surrey bike one afternoon, a boat one morning, got a couples massage, swam in the adult pool, and hung out on the beach. We only left the island once, to go out to dinner -- but we should've stayed because the food at the resort's restaurants was so much better than what we got off island. It's hard to put a hotel's atmosphere into words, but I'll try. This resort felt like a blast from the past, the kind of place where people vacation with their families from generation to generation. So many resorts have a cold, corporate feel; in trying to be modern, they lose all character. This place may not be state-of-the-art, but it's charming and warm, and I will take that over corporate any day. If you are from Los Angeles and you're tired of spending all your time in a car, come to this little tropical island so close to home, where you can walk (and bring your dog) everywhere. Four days of this and now my soul feels refreshed. read more

Paradise Point - Our dog cruising in the surrey bike we rented. - Resorts Near Me - San Diego, California

I stayed here 2 nights with a colleague for a professional conference. I would not choose to come here, because our room was dirty and worn around the edges, the bedsheets had not been changed, the property is outdated, and overall this is by no means a "resort" unless you're maybe a time traveler from the 1960s. It wasn't dangerous or completely horrible, but there were just too many disappointments throughout our short stay that made the experience one I don't care to repeat. It's also impossible to escape the fact that Mission Bay is man-made and somewhat unappealing looking, underscored by the fact that the actual ocean and real beaches are just a hop, skip, and a jump away. So the "resorts" here just need to do better both on quality and price. The positives: the front desk staff was pleasant at check in. The staff at the valet/taxi stand were very friendly. The greenery and wildlife around the property are pretty. That's it. The room: Our bungalow-style room was right on the road and cars going by and chirps from locking/unlocking was not relaxing, so we never used the Adirondack chairs outside. The rooms are scattered about and are almost all right on the road, so there is a distinct feel that this is a cheap roadside "no tell" motel. The room had many issues. The 2 power outlets (all 4 sockets) near the coffee maker were not working, and the provided cups very flimsy such that I spilled my coffee when the lid popped off. The room decor was somewhat odd and looked cheap and worn out -- grout missing between the tiles, many stains, rub marks, etc. on the furniture, walls, and baseboards. The tub/shower switch was stuck on "shower" and I got sprayed each time I went to turn on the water. The light/fan seemed to have some sort of energy-saving function, but it was malfunctioning and kept turning off every time I took a shower, strange and annoying and completely out of line with a resort experience. Lots of small details that were disappointing and detracted from the initial impression, which was mediocre at best. The chief problem that indicates Paradise Point is far from world-class happened the first night when my colleague/roommate came home and her bed was full of sand! I noticed stains on my sheets. Housekeeping seemed to have simply pulled the covers back up without changing the sheets. Since I was asleep, my roommate waited until morning then made several calls to the front desk where she was told "no manager on duty" and hung up on. Once a manager was available, she told my roommate she would have the sheets changed "and I'll stop by your room to chat." The manager did not call or stop by, so my roommate called again, and the manager said, "are you sure it was sand and not detergent in your sheets?" I can deal with the occasional housekeeping mishap, but there is absolutely no excuse for staff who blame problems and issues on the guest. The last morning, I noticed the tile floor was filthy after getting into the shower and seeing dirt and grime in the tub. It seems housekeeping didn't bother to mop the floors carefully, or the motor lodge layout means tons of dirt is being tracked in. I used my bath towel to shuffle over to my clothes, where I quickly put my socks and shoes on so as to not have to walk on the floor. As gross as carpet is, it would probably be a better choice at least to hide the dirt and grime. The layout of the property is also annoying. The conference center was a walk from our room, and it got tiring quickly walking back and forth between the room, the conference center, the lobby, and our colleagues' rooms. The parking lots looked cheap, paved with asphalt and with numerous cracks and reseal lines. You would think for the room rates the parking lots would have been redone at some point. I don't mind walking, but the entire experience just felt like walking through the parking lot at the mall and really cancels out any relaxation feel the place is trying to achieve. All in all, even at the discounted group rate we paid, I would not choose to stay here again. Avoid if you can. read more

I had the pleasure of staying at Paradise Point as both a hotel guest and a conference attendee. The resort is amazing, and I think it is a great place for a staycation in Southern California. The staff were all super helpful and kind, definitely living up to the luxurious image. You can call or text them at any hours for a ride from their golf carts or anything else you might need. As a guest of the hotel I was very comfortable with their amenities. My bungalow had a hugeeee bed, so much space in the room in general. There was a huge walk-in closet too! And a back patio with two seats. Super super cute! It can probably use a bit of renovation but their property is so vast, they must cycle through the rooms. The one I was in can use some upgrades. Unfortunately I didn't get to enjoy much of the resort due to my conference schedule. I will say they had less activities available during the weekday, and yet you are still paying the same resort fees. Weekends have better activities if you are planning a stay here. Oh also I didn't like the bugs everywhere. Since the resort has so many plants. I found 1 flying bug and 2 crawling bugs during my 3 days/2 nights stay. As a conference attendee, it was difficult that everything is so spread out at the resort, I would have to take the golf cart or drive over. The first night I took the golf cart, I found that getting the ride back to my room was a challenge. Also I didn't like the wind blowing my hair and messing it up. So I decided to just drive my car to the conference area during the day time, and take the shuttles during happy hour or dinner hours where there would be drinks. I found that the staff was super kind and courteous and everything was prepared for us in a timely manner. The meals type we opted for on the different days had a variety of things: charcuterie board, heavy appetizers, light breakfast, brunch, dinner, breakfast. Mostly tasty... but I would say something for everything, and they had the option to accommodate to dietary needs. I have mixed feelings about coming back since it's so luxurious and enjoyable, but at moments it doesn't feel super convenient. For the purpose of a conference, sometimes I can quickly run up to my room and grab something during a quick break, but here, there is low benefit in staying at the conference hotel if you basically need to drive over anyways. Definitely a pricey splurge, but their staff really does everything to make sure you enjoy your visit. read more

Room had a bunch of spiders! I saw at least saw 4. There were scratching/marks on the ceiling. Overall room did not seem clean. Additionally I requested connecting rooms, which they did not give me and at the time of booking they stated it was available. The bartender at the bar and grill was rude. Had to order through in room dining, although I was told it could be done in person! Save your money and go elsewhere. read more

Booked the room through their website and had nothing but problems. The date and upgraded room was wrong on their end and they tried to downgrade my room. I had to show them all of my emails to prove my case. I was treated like I messed up. Front desk is not friendly and I had to change rooms and the new room had lights out, water damage and mold in the bathroom The hotel does not resemble the pictures of the hotel online read more

Stayed over the 4th of July weekend - here's the good and the bad. Good: - Awesome location - the privacy on the beach was outstanding. - walkable to everything, and pretty clean and well kept. - the natural elements like the lagoon, awesome. And they even gave my kids duck food when we got there. - Barefoot Bar and Grill - outstanding food! Would highly recommend. - the paid activities (paddle board) were awesome - but it made for an expensive weekend. - Rooms were well kept and updated. Bad: - All the activities that were included for children filled up so early there was nothing available when we arrived. Really disappointed in that. - The bonfire needed to be done on your back porch, completely not how it was advertised. - the restaurants filled up so quickly. I had reservations at Tidal and didn't even get to sit down because of how unorganized they were. - Staff at tidal were rude and condescending - if you don't prepare for food and activities ahead of time, you'll need to leave. Kind of defeating the purpose. - Fireworks, while acknowledged that they were Sea Worlds are not viewable unless you leave the property. - a lot of hidden fees you don't see when you initially book your room. - Pools, while there were 5 of them, were not very well maintained and extremely dated. I had a decent time there because of the add ons I paid for, but I expected so much more from the money i paid and what they advertised. I feel like if they had a resort/hotel operator that emphasized the guest experience more this would be a premier place to visit. Not planning on going back, when there are way better options in Mission Bay. read more

They upgraded us (for my son's birthday) to the Lanai Bayside which was right by the water. The room however did not meet expectations. There were huge spiders we found on the first night. The second day we woke to ants all over the room (bathroom, floor , and even in our beds!). Needless to say, we checked out right away. This is NOT what I imagined for our son's special day. Apparently this is an on-going problem, the staff mentioned the engineers are working on this issue. Again, I'm really disappointed and will not be coming back. read more
