Overall, nice location and friendly staff. I would have liked a better room location with ocean views, but that was my mistake. Room was comfy and clean. Good place for the price!

We spent well over $2000 here on rooms for all of my kids and myself over Christmas 2025.Vanessa was by far the star of this resort. She made everything seamless and friendly. She went above and beyond to make our stays exceptional.

The room was small but cute and clean and had a small cooktop, microwave and fridge. Awesome location just across the street from the beach. Loved it!! Would stay there again

Loved that it was next to the beach and easy to locate!
Jessica, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

SUPER LOCATION and Brand new remodels! I think we were one of the first in our room. Only downside, they were completing the other 16 rooms at the same time. It was noisy during the day and parking was limited by a dumpster taking up 'our' spots.
It's FINE! Still works!
Clean, tight bathroom. No counterspace in here.
BIG bedroom with lots of dressers, TV and heating/cooling unit
The Living/Main room is ENORMOUS!
Kristeen, 6-night trip

6/10 Good

reuniting with family

It's the beach in San Diego for people who can't afford paying $300+ per night. If you're just going to chill at the beach, it's fine, but definitely a 70's motif. Plenty of good food/nightlife withing walking distances.
Daryl, 2-night trip

The units are WAY bigger than your traditional hotel room, are very nice, and in a great location.
