"We spent four nights here and really enjoyed the environment. The staff were excellent ....... very friendly and accommodating. It is a little remote.....but the grounds are just gorgeous. The food was delicious although a little pricey. The market was fun to browse as there were so many cool things. I would definitely go back......."

"Paradise Point is getting old and is very run down!!! The rooms are jusk ok,the walls are thin so you can hear your neighbors.The paint is peeling off the walls and the patio furniture was dusty and old.The rooms are very musty and there is a sulfur smell all around the resort!! The main pool was nice but the smaller pools are a joke! We had some issues but the manager did apologize and offer to comp us one night. He said come see him at the front desk and he would be happy to help us. We did finally get out of our room and went to the zoo, and when we got back to the hotel,the manager we spoke to was no where to be found and the hotel DID NOT comp us the one night as promised!!! RUDE!!! They offered to move us to another room and pay 1/2 price...no deal!!!! We went home instead,we did not feel safe at this very unprofessional hotel!!! I would not go back nor would I recommend this to anyone else!"

"considering how empty the place was on a spring break week I found it to be really expensive also considering the 17$per night amenities fee and the 32 dollar per night parking fee on top of the room and food costs. the rooms have a linen closet but no place for luggage or clothing in the room, tv remote didn't work 8:30 am housekeeping call was a bit much no bible no desk and no information of value in the room about the resort. better signage would have helped too! It is a great piece of real estate, people generally friendly, but not with valuable information. A lot of untapped potential"

BookIt.com® Verified Traveler AOD from Mexico City

"The environment was really nice, specially the pools where kids as well as adults can have a really nice time. The fact that they charge you for the parking as well as the internet that comes disguised as a 'Paradise passport' isn't a good marketing move and is overpriced. If they are a resort as they say they are this kind of things should be included, even if that increases the overall price a little bit. The rooms promised to be better, I have stayed in better rooms without the parafernalia of the 'resort' word in it. I would come back though, the landscaping is worth it."

"Our stay was very pleasant The room wasn't as clean as I would have liked,but the grounds were just beautiful. We plan to go again."

BookIt.com® Verified Traveler Becky from Galeton, Co

"This hotel is way over rated and priced, it is old, needs updated, food and drinks are way overpriced, curtains where falling off, wood was cracked and coming apart, ciggarette butts all over outside, broken beer bottle on patio, grounds and staff are nice but the rooms are not what I expected..I would never stay there again.....My room was dirty when I arrived, they had to come clean it. I was not offered a new room or any compensation for my inconvenience, even when I asked for a microwave they told me it would be 20 dollars a day, that would of been 100.00 dollars for our stay, cheaper to just go buy one.....Do not and will not recommend this hotel to anyone!!!!!!!"

BookIt.com® Verified Traveler Steve Haskin from Traverse City, Michigan

"My wife and I enjoyed our stay. The landscaping and scenery was definitely the resort's strongest attributes. I liked the fact that there were multiple pools around the resort even though we never used them because of the weather. I was surprised at the high $28 daily charge for a parking pass and the cost of using their computer for the internet. Plus there's also an extra 'passport to paradise' daily charge of $17/night that I didn't know about until we got there."

BookIt.com® Verified Traveler Richard Keefauver from Port Orchard, WA

"Overall a good place for the money. We enjoyed our stay. They do have a $17.00 passport fee per day, for internet, and to use the gym/recreational facilities. That was kind of lame, since we didn't travel to use the internet, but such is life. I would go back!"

BookIt.com® Verified Traveler MD from Portland, OR

"I thought the grounds, including the pools and beach were really nice. They were definitely of a 4 or 5 star level. We have two boys ages 8 and 10 and it was a really good place to take them as they swam all the time and the pools are set up nicely for kids (not too deep). Our room on the other hand was of two star quality. Thin walls where we could hear the TV going or people talking and they looked liked they have been doing the bare minimum to keep them up to date. I travel a lot for business and have stayed in lots of different hotels and our room was well below standard business-class hotel rooms. The room was very small, especially for a family of four. I looked at one of the suites while I was there and they looked a lot nicer, so that may be the way to go if you are going as a family. Also, they may be laid out better so that you are not hearing the people in the room next to you. Luckily we didn't have a newlywed couple next to us or we would have had to get earplugs for our kids (and us!)... I would recommend this hotel, but with caveats."

BookIt.com® Verified Traveler Nicole from Long Beach, CA

"Despite it being a gloomy rainy day, I loved the resort! The staff was friendly, the rooms and grounds were beautiful. The pool was heated so we went swimming and in the hot tub even though it was raining. Loved the lagoon running behind our room. We had two adjoining rooms and no other rooms were connected to our two so we didn't have to worry about being 'too loud' which was awesome! I will definitely be going back in the summer! (yes, they charge for parking and a resort fee but it isn't anything out of the ordinary and i've paid WAY more in WAY less nice places so that would not deter me from coming again.)"

BookIt.com® Verified Traveler Stacey from Winona, MN

"This resort was paradise, so much to see in a week just in the resort. It is a perfect place near all of the attractions and the gardens throughout the property are amazing. There is a pool around almost every corner, however the beach is hard to access unless you have a beach room. The room was nice and had a couple of unexpected amenities like a microwave. However, most of the rooms have a not so nice view of the highway or roadway which was an unwelcoming surprise. Be prepared to walk this property is very large and quite a walk to the main building. The one thing I would say is it was a bit decieving to find out that you have to pay a resort fee. So be prepared to pay another $260 for a week in addition to what you pay. We were not happy to find that out because it wasn't disclosed. Not to mention the activities we wanted to do like bike riding and mini golf is not included in that fee. Overall it was a great vacation!!"

BookIt.com® Verified Traveler Kevin Karpowicz from Rock Hall, MD

"The grounds are beautiful and very well maintained. Truly living in a tropical paradise while in the middle of a city. It is quiet and comfortable - and very convenient. An easy bike ride to a great stretch of ocean beach - and a great ride around Mission Bay - all paved pedestrian/bike paths around the Bay and along miles of beach."

BookIt.com® Verified Traveler Anne Wadle from Mason City, Iowa

"Resort was very expensive for a family vacation. Not sure what the extra charge per day was about. Everything we wanted to do was an extra charge, riding bikes, bonfire on beach, etc. Not much within walking distance and cabs were over charging something different each time. Would not recommend this resort, it's just an overpriced hotel."

BookIt.com® Verified Traveler Shae from Rock Springs, WY

"My hubby stayed here as a kid, and he always wanted to go back, so we took our 22 month old to Sea World and decided we would stay here, even though it was so much cheaper to stay elsewhere. The FD clerks were always very friendly and lowered our parking fee to $10/nt, but the parking spots are made for tiny cars. We were cramped by big vans and SUV's on both sides of us, and sometimes it was a challenge getting our baby into the carseat. The rooms were smaller than I expected, and we got a free upgrade to the 'Garden View', which all that meant to me was you get 2 chairs outside to sit and see your neighbors, but there was no view. We stayed 3 nights and after the first night we noticed tiny ants crawling all over the desk, even though the only food we had was in the fridge. So on the 2nd day we told the FD about it and asked if they would also change the lightbulb outside our door as it was burned out and very dark when we arrived at night. We also wanted housekeeping service this day. But when we got back after a very long day at the Zoo, we found ants still all over the desk, and they didn't change our sheets, just remade the bed. I wasn't very impressed about that. I mean we are paying $25 in extra fees a day on top of the room rate and we can't even get clean sheets? The 'resort' is nice, and the lobby area at night is neat as they have it lit up with fire, and the Barefoot Grill has fire too. I could see staying here if you were coming to San Diego for a week long visit and only had 2 or 3 days planned, where you could spend the rest of the time at the resort and enjoy the amenities, but when you are staying 3 nights and have 2 whole days planned, you do not get what you pay for."

BookIt.com® Verified Traveler Joe from Los Angeles, CA

"My family took a couple of days off for vacation with a soon-to-be toddler to relieve stress out away from city & traffic. Though San Diego also is a big city, you feel like you're off somewhere else as you enter this resort - it has private beaches, tropical resort surroundings. My baby loved the duckies walking in the backyard. I think Wi-Fi should be provided free, instead they charged a Package Fee of $14 something for WiFi and all the other Amenities. They took care of my Daily Parking Fee of $28 per day, because I didn't get the King Size Bed that I booked. 2 Queen Size Beds worked just fine for us. I would definitely come back to this resort in the future. :)"

BookIt.com® Verified Traveler Jim Arbuckle

"We had a great time. The resort had a Hawaiian feel to it. I also liked the fact that it was not crowded like other parts of San Diego. The pool and spa was a little sandy dirty, but everything else was clean. We got a great rate for our room, but when we got there the parking and internet fees where on the high side. Over all we hope to have a return trip."

BookIt.com® Verified Traveler Melissa L Rodrigue from Chicago, IL

"Trip was very nice...not too much activity at the resort & not much info given. The fire pits and smore making was a nice touch..."

"So the hotel has a great ring to it and sounds very up scale. The name is slightly miss leading as is the four star rating. I thought in my personal experience that the resort is closer to 3 stars. Pros: The room was very clean, the daily maid service was fantastic, everything worked in the room, we were in the Garden Lani Suite and the wet bar area was fantastic, The hotel staff was incredibly friendly and took care of our every need. The bellmen were fantastic and gave us great ideas of what to go see and do in San Diego on a tight budget. the rooms seemed to be fairly quiet and the surrounding gardens were very well maintained. our 'private patio' is not secluded from others but was very nice to sit on and read. Cons: The room shows it's age, there were no chairs or towels available for the beach which really stunk. The fire pits were BYOW or bring your own wood and chair to sit around them. The prices at the Island store were outrageous because they know you have no where else to go. The food at the pool side grill, though good, was way over priced. Cost me $25 dollars for some tacos and a plate of fruit. TIPS: Utilize the local metro transit system, for 5 dollars a person you can ride the buses and trolleys all day. from less than a quarter of a mile from the hotel you can catch a bus that brings you into old town San Diego, where there is a lot to do and see for free, then catch a trolley from there into downtown San Diego. The trolleys service seaport villeage and the gaslamp district so really everything is within a few short rides and all for 5 bucks a day."

"This resort was absolutely beautiful. The gardens, ponds, ducks, fish, were amazing to just walk around and look. You can have as peaceful and quiet of a vacation here or go out and about to numerous San Diego sites within a close distance. My only complaint would be our room smelled musty upon entering it, but once you were in it a bit you didn't notice it anymroe. Coupling the room with the flight to San Diego made this a very affordable resort to stay at."

"Check in smooth, but 4:00 is more than half a day lost...Room bright and new looking...Small patiio full of cigeret buts and pieces of paper...walked by lilly pond on way to room, dangerous...path uneven, and slanted towards water,"

"Paradise Point Resort - for my wife and I - an excellent getaway. Staff very friendly and accommodating - property beautiful - cottage on the bay had everything we needed. The Resort cat (stray I believe) was an extra bonus - we fed it regularly - don't know if that was appreciated - however - we did. Rather than pay the high cost of parking at the Resort - we became temporary 'San Diegons' and much used the very efficient San Diego transit system. We loved the Resort and San Diego - will definitely return to both - and - not hesitate - to recommend both.



Overall experience - excellent - including Bookit !!

"Paradise Point Resort and Spa was a beautiful place to stay. The landscaping with native plants and birds on the water ways were very enjoyable. All age groups, young families and older couples enjoyed this resort. Being from the midwest, prices were a little high for us but food and service was great. Would definitely recommend this resort to others."

"My two teenage boys loved this resort and made good use of all the facilities. I was a little disappointed with the beach but considering the number of beautiful beaches close by this wasn't really a problem. Like a lot of accommodation in San Diego you need to use your car if you want to explore restaurants/shops as they are not in walking distance. Having said that there were of course restaurants/shops on site. Overall this resort was good value for money."

"We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and stay at this resort. The location is excellent and the amenities made us feel right at home. The views and grounds were outstanding. Thank you for a warm welcome to San Diego!"

"This is a wonderful resort to stay in. Our hotel room was Gorgeous! The staff was friendly, it has great amenities although we didn't use any of them because it rained during our stay. I will say i wasn't happy about paying $28 for parking and $15 for use of the amenities which we didn't use besides the internet. Regardless, i would rate them 4 of 5 stars for having a great resort to stay in."

"This is one of the best hotels/resorts ive EVER been to. They are so friendly, and it is so beautiful. It is in a perfect area and has amazing views. I stayed in the least expensive rooms and nothing beats them. Best resort for your money by far. "
