We started our trip to San Diego with a 5 day stay here. The staff were amazing, had the most positive and helpful attitude that I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing. The resort is older but very well maintained the the rooms were huge, leaving lots of room for families. the beds we had were Kingsize! Lots to do for the kids, tennis, pool table, basketball, swimming and spa. It is about a 45 minute to 1 hour drive to the coast or the site in San Diego but a perfect place to take a couple...

8/10 Good

Excellent service. The gal at the front desk was very helpful and friendly. We had a few issues with the toilet which were resolved quite quickly. The location was excellent and very easy to find. Parking was a little bit extra which I found a bit strange as I would have assumed that most, if not all, people would be driving there. Overall, it was great experience and I would recommend staying here.
