Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Love locationโ€”walk to restaurants, our patio faced the marina, which we loved. Pool chairs had such fluffy, comfortable cushionsโ€”and a fireplace for slightly chilly nights (common to CA coastal towns), we spent our free time there. Room had 4 excellent, full pillows to each bed; huge TV (which we didnโ€™t watch, but TV fans will love it), great views from patio & a walking trail all along the resort. We were surprised how terrific this part of San Diego is, Shelter Island, with food, boats, views, waking to many eateries, etc
Negative: Wish we would have requested a top floor for better views!
Summary: Fantastic, tropical experience in the Marina!
