"This was our 4th time spending 4th of July weekend here and everything went really well. Got to the property early and was given a key to enjoy the pool while we waited for our room to be ready. Room was clean. Had a cabana reserved for Saturday and Clara was awesome, made sure everything went smoothly with that. Activities like popcorn, temporary tattoos, watermelon eating contest were fun (only thing was yoga instructor being a little late one day then setting up in a corner as if she didn't want anyone to show up) and pool DJ Dan Diego was awesome! Daniel and Jonathan were our pool servers and they were good and efficient for serving so many people. Our body wash needed a refill and the staff refilled our coffee pods with decaf instead of regular but those are minor complaints. Firewood came with our room and it was brought quickly when we called for it. Covewood for breakfast and dinner.. tasty both times (only thing to inform you ahead of time is that the food takes a while so don't come starving and bring something extra to keep your little ones entertained!) I especially loved the caramel croissant bread pudding dessert! Lastly, the only thing I would change are the guests who let their kids act obnoxiously at the pool (as if it's not a shared public space) but that's not to any fault of the resort (well, the staff could be a little more firm: no dogs in pool area, if no guests in pool area then no exceptions, signage with no horseplay/be respectful to other guests)."

"Would recommend and will definitely be staying there again."

"It was an amazing stay. Loved the lush gardens and the pool. Conveniently located within walking distance to shopping and restaurants. 7 minutes to the beach Close to the San Diego LDS temple and UC San Diego. Staff were friendly. Rooms have been recently renovated beds are comfortable. No complaints at all, just one suggestion to add an extra mirror in the room. "

"Nice staffs and clean hotel!"

"One nigth stay, it was great front desk & closed to highway & food. Room was great with comfortable bed."

"This is our go to hotel for summer vacations! Great stay for an excellent price. Breakfast is included, and includes a variety of items. The room is spacious with a great view from the balcony. Only negative was a lack of kitchen utensils which was easily solved for less than $5 at the local Walmart. "

"Check in was easy and room was nice, but could not check in earlier as there were no rooms available."

"Went with the family to go attend a wedding. It was a great place to visit. I’m sure I will return in the future. The waterslide was especially fun."

"My wife and I have come to the catamaran since our honeymoon in 2019 and we enjoy it every time. It is very peaceful and we already look forward to next year."
