This family-oriented resort is a perennial San Diego favorite. Proximity to the beach, bay, and all activities centered within this 14-acre water world compound make these accommodations an excellent buy. Rooms here are decorated in a tropical motif, and all are studios or suites with kitchenettes. Remember to take the free cruise aboard the Bahia Belle. The children will love it here because of their own special playground.

Stay Away

I had booked 7 nights at this hotel based on their website which showed a contemporary room. I arrived at 1:00 pm and tried to check in. The staff said check in was at 4 but they would put in a "rush." I returned to the desk 3 times and was finally given my room at 4:00, the regular checkin time. So much for the "rush." I couldnt believe the room when I walked in. First of all, it smelled very bad. The beds were old and very soft. The bathroom was dated and actually dirty. I promptly booked another room in downtown San Diego for the same price but a million times better. The only good thing was that the staff didnt give me a hard time about checking out. I had brought "evidence" from the bathroom floor to support my case, but luckily I didnt need it. I will not depend solely on a hotel's website in the future. Very disappointing. It turned out that being downtown was preferable anyway-- closer to more attractions. I did love Mission Beach though. We rented bikes 2 days, once at sunset and it was beautiful.

Pricey: you can do better

In spite of a slick website, very disappointing and pricey run down, noisy motor court. Nice pool. Latino service staff great, waiter/parking attendants surly. Three blocks away from wonderful Mission Beach: the hotel beaches NOT good for swimming. \n \nRooms musty but clean. Suite cramped: get two singles instead. DO NOT STAY in the noisy, east side of the hotel where most rooms face busy Gleason Road (used by public AND the Bahia as a service road, overnight parking bans not enforced, so cluttered with motorhomes nightly as well). Stay on the side facing Santa Barbara Cove, far from tower rooms. Rooms are either on a busy road, a beach or have small, climbable wrought iron balconies: all SIGNIFICANT safety hazards for small children. \n \nBeds uncomfortable with ill fitting mattress pads and unfitted sheets that pulled out all night. Beds are under windows facing very noisy motor court, but you need the windows open for ventilation. All doors slam, so door and car/voice noise around the clock. A lot of drunken spring break groups.
