Top The Wave Waterpark Hotel Reviews

⭐ Spacious Château Vista Heated Salt Pool Hot Tub 9 mi to Beach Family Fun!⭐

10/10 Excellent

"Group of 12Very comfortable-Room for all-Pool great"

Melrose Pet-Friendly 3BR. Feel like royalty

10/10 Excellent

"As the pictures show this place has lots of mirrors and so it comes off very "Blingy" if you know what I mean. Not something I would want to live with but actually kind of fun for a few days or a week.It was very clean and roomie however with just the one bathroom it might be tricky for more than 4adults. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes pots and pans etc. but there were only 3 coffee cups in the whole house and although we were told that coffee was provided we never found any but we just went and got what we all liked, so no huge deal.The place is handy for getting places with just a 15-30drive to most beaches, attractions etc and 45-60 to San Diego destinations and for the difference in price per night compared to closer places even with 6.00 gas I think you would still save doing here.I would stay here again no problem."

Pool, hot tub, fire pit, and more! Aqua La Vista

"Great location"

Sunrise Luxurious Master Room/Own Bath/Separated Entry/Vista

8/10 Good

"Overall this is a great place. It resides in a very quiet neighborhood and the property is well secured. If you’re driving in at night be sure to use GPS. Finding the place can be a little challenging. The accommodations are quite spacious. The bed is firmer than we prefer, but it was still nice. The value for the money is good. The view from the backyard is spectacular. Sunrise is worth getting up to see."
