Beach Cities San Diego County Golf Vacations

We used to come here for many years with our kids in the early 2000's. Back then the resort was in great condition. The street pavement was smooth, for kids to ride scooters and skateboards. All the landscape lighting worked. All the paint was good, etc. They also had a guard gate which limited access to guests only so there was very little traffic. Now it is looking much older, the pavement needs a resurfacing, finish carpentry needs to be redone, etc. It was not badly run down, just not up to the price. They charge $45 a night to park by your room now. That used to be free. There is a big public parking lot, but depending on where your room is, it could be 500 yards away. That may not be a problem for some, and it may be a problem for others. The California Coastal commission probably forced them to open the property to the public for beach access, and they put up big ugly signs everywhere...now you get people wandering through the place. It just doesn't feel as safe and secure as it used to. The location is great. It can not be beat. We just went to the Barefoot Grill for lunch and dinner, and the food was excellent. The views are wonderful. But it does feel like time is taking its toll on the place a bit.

The property is old and the front desk clerk was the worst very poor customer service.

Beach view is the best on the boardwalk! Lots of loungers and beach chaises to relax and take in the ocean and people parade!

Beautiful location. Outstanding staff.

The rooms were clean but need a deep cleaning. I love that they had a host announcing the water games and activities on Saturday. I love how close to the water it is so you can walk around off the premise as well. I did not like that the water slides don't open until 11:30 and the two bigger slides didn't come on until 2 :( the food at red Marlin is not good. They upgraded my room to a water view at no extra price which was very appreciated. The room space is perfect and the views are gorgeous. The non water activities were great too.

The front desk was so helpful. I was able to check in early into my room! Would definitely make another trip here to unwind.
