This image was taken at Swamis beach just north of San Elijo campgrounds. The tide was very low so it made for a perfect walk on the beach afternoon.

"The Inn at Moonlight Beach is a peaceful little paradise just a few blocks from the beach. Our stay was the most relaxing we had in a very long time! The Inn is a wellness center running on 90% solar energy, harvesting their own fruits and erbs, and serving a delicious, farm to table healthy breakfast to your door every morning. We'll definitely go back!"

"We are part of a Portuguese Folklore Dance group that gets invited to dance at the annual Portuguese Festival in Point Loma each year. With it being Memorial Weekend and lots of graduations happening, hotels were impossible to find. We came across this property and it did not disappoint! The owner, Dan, was very communicative and always answered in a timely fashion. He accommodated our check-in needs as we were traveling more than 8 hours to get there. The property itself had more than enough...

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay. The room was great. Only complaints were the hot water wasn’t hot. Ever! And I don’t like paying for parking at a hotel I’m paying to stay at. "

Hyatt Regency Mission Bay Spa and Marina

10/10 Excellent

"A quick weekend getaway with the family. Staff was very polite, we had a great time pool side. It was nice having a coffee shop on site. My daughter asked if we can go back, the pool slides are perfect for kids dropping into 3.5 feet of water. In the courtyard we played ping pong and other games they provided. Definitely going back. "

Embassy Suites by Hilton San Diego La Jolla

10/10 Excellent

"This a very nice hotel for the price and location. It's right across UTC mall and very close to the 805 (without the noise). Reception is great and attentive which goes with the schwanky vibe. Room very clean and you can log into your Netflix which is a rarity with upscale hotels for some reason. My only complaint would be the staff coming in when I'm showering. I dont do free shows. I told them to come back but they were like ,:naw you supposed to be gone". I had one more night. Don't know what the game plan was but I was slippery so draggjng me would have been hard. Besides that 10/10 would do again."
