The hotel

There's a real resort feel to this Mission Bay hotel. On a 14-acre peninsula, the views are quite something, and you’re just steps from the the calm bay waters. Head to the white sandy beach and grab yourself a beach cabana or take a stroll through the lush tropical gardens. The pool is a great spot too and the huge hot tub is just the ticket on a cooler evening. Don't miss an evening cruise around the bay on the Bahia Belle paddle steamer — there’s drinks, live entertainment and views galore.

We had mistakenly made 3 reservations which would have caused us to have to change rooms, during our 3 day stay. With 2 kids this was something I hoped to avoid. Tim quickly helped us solve our problem, which changed our entire experience. Thanks Tim well done, your act of kindness, made our stay 10X better.

We went for our honeymoon and it was such as great trip. Karina and Ben were in the office and they were wonderful to work with! Karina did everything she could to make the experience amazing and Ben spent every night joking with my husband when we went to the gaming room. It was very enjoyable.
