Beautiful resort with a Hawaiian motif. Amazing lush gardens with hundreds of palm trees & tropical flowers, koi fish pond, and parrots!! Bay front location with lovely views and walking beach trail right in front of the property. Bayfront suite Room #508 was clean, modern with the bedroom separate from the living room. Great pool & jacuzzi, Oceania cafe was great, Lava Java coffee shop was convenient. Staff was courteous & kind. Hotel is on the bay and directly across the street from Pacific Beach with the many surfers and beautiful sunset. Parking is $$$. Highly recommend!!

Convenient San Diego Stay with Excellent Service

We celebrated our friend’s 60th birthday at the resort and had a pleasant stay. While the hotel’s interior feels a bit outdated, its San Diego location is excellent. Ian at the front desk provided outstanding service and made us feel very welcome. Our room was spacious and worked perfectly as the main venue for our small gathering. Overall, the staff and room size made the celebration memorable despite the dated look of the hotel.

Loved this hotel! It transported you to a jungle paradise while staying there. The rooms were a good size with everything you needed. The pool was small but fun and although we didn’t use it the bay access is nice if you wanna sit in the sand! Super easy to walk around PB and mission beach. Lots of good places to eat and drink and of course the beach is right there! The staff was very friendly and helpful! I would recommend this place to anyone that wants to stay in PB!!
