Top Downtown Encinitas Hotel Reviews

Lakehouse Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great"

The Dana on Mission Bay

10/10 Excellent

"An amazing stay in San Diego! Our waterfront suite overlooked Mission Bay and was steps from the ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️restaurant with excellent kids choices as well as very well prepared real food! Most seating is outdoors, but many of the tables had tabletop gas fires. After dinner, at 8:45pm, you can watch the Sea World drone light show from the restaurant or nearby beaches! Sea World parking lot is practically attached (not quite) and very easy to get to! Only 20min from the zoo! The staff were all very helpful and I didn't encounter one member who looked unhappy to be there. We will definitely stay here at future Sam Diego trips!"

Paradise Point Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"The staff was very helpful and friendly especially Gaith, who went above and beyond to help us out with extra towels and room items. The room was well maintained. The property is beautiful. The restaurants on the resort are overpriced for the quality of food. You can eat at a very nice restaurant outside of the resort for much better quality and better price in my opinion, the spa prices are also very high. They wanted 200$ per person for a 1 hr body massage, we went off the property get a 90 minute massage for 95$ per person. Over all the property is nice but, if you want to get food and a spa experience I'd recommend going off the property to get more for your money."
