Paradise Point Resort & Spa

Paradise Point Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent
"I enjoyed my time at paradise point hotel. I would say that my main complaint was the distance our room was away from the pool. Restaurants and the lobby. It made it a bit of a hassle, even with a vehicle. Plus the nightly fee of $45 for parking on top of an almost $50 resort fee per night was excessive and surprising. If staff were more willing to help give rides back and forth to our room it would have made my time here more relaxing. But with the heat, it wasn’t very enjoyable."

"We had a very nice room with great view of the ocean. The beds were comfortable, Bathroom clean (but small) the room was spacious. Had a small balcony. The hotel is located by many shops, restaurants, bars, and the beach. This being said it is a bit noisy until about 11pm. The hotel is quaint, not modern, but some upgrades mixed with old time beach hotel. We enjoyed our stay"

"We really enjoyed our stay in Ocean Beach! We especially appreciated finding a pet-friendly home, as our main purpose for the trip was to take our 8-year-old Lab to the beach. Living in Las Vegas, we wanted to give her a chance to enjoy the ocean, and she had a fabulous time.The accommodations were outstanding, and the property description and photos were very accurate. We drove our Tahoe, which unfortunately did not fit in the carport, but there was plenty of street parking available.The host also informed us that the streets are swept on certain days and that vehicles need to be moved early in the morning, which was helpful information to have in advance.Overall, we had a wonderful stay and a fabulous time in Ocean Beach. We would definitely stay here again!"
