Top The Wave Waterpark Hotel Reviews

Motel 6 Oceanside, CA

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms was clean and easy to find. Staff was friendly. Air conditioning was A MAZING. I’m someone who had to have a cold room because of migraines and this was the best AC I’ve been in"

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."

⭐ 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

10/10 Excellent

10/10 Excellent

"The house was setup exactly as expected, very clean and perfect for our quick trip. Everything was very easy from check-in to check-out."

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!"
