Top The Wave Waterpark Hotel Reviews

Days Inn by Wyndham San Diego Vista

10/10 Excellent

"Highly recommended!"

Melrose 2BR. 6 beds. Pet-Friendly. Patio+Fireplace

8/10 Good

"We had a great time here. The property is cute and welcoming. The location is great, very conveniently situated close to a lot of things. The unit itself was lovely and comfortable. My kids had a great time inside and out. And the view was awesome too! The only thing I am not on board with is that the guests are responsible for washing and putting away the dishes they use. There is no dishwasher to sanitize them. The dishes we used I didn’t feel were cleaned and sanitized enough before being put away. So I washed everything before using and after."

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

10/10 Excellent

"The property fit my needs perfectly. Single traveler just needing a quiet place to rest before and after a golf weekend with friends. The views were a pleasant bonus. Comms with the host were quick and easy. Note that the entry can be tight for larger SUVs or similar but there is an option if needed. Bed was comfortable and firm. There's no kitchen, but the hotel style fridge and microwave were more than adequate for my needs. The road to the property is a one lane road so drive with caution and be respectful to their neighbors. Would definitely stay there again if my travels take me back to the Escondido area."

Paradise Palms Retreat: Lux Vacay or Wedding! -- Welcome to Paradise!

10/10 Excellent

"This property is fabulous. The only thing we would like to be different is a bit more in the way of kitchen pots, as we cooked our meals. A good number of pans, but we needed a couple more pots. We would definitely love to come back to this location! The owner, Dylan, is a gem to work with - thank you!"

Luxe Vista Getaway w/ Private Pool & Hot Tub!

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay here and had plenty of room for our family (10 adults and 6 children). We enjoyed going to the beach each day and having a nice place to come and relax afterward. Communication with the host was great and prompt via text or phone! The host was kind and helpful. We didn't use the pool much because it was on the colder side. We did enjoy the spa however. The host heated the spa remotely when we requested it. The home was stocked with everything we needed in the kitchen as well as the bathrooms. Would highly recommend this location!"
