Cabana Living at San Diego Mission Bay Resort

The resort is nice place to host a wedding. There were several weddings that took place while we were there for a birthday celebration. The rooms were nice and spacious. The staff was amazing and polite no complaints here. The pool (i feel) could have been cleaned better, there was this filmy type of substance around the pool that was a little unsettling. The restaurants on the property were reasonable and the food was decent. The resort was larger, so walk to some of the rooms was longer than we liked, but it wasn't unmanageable. Great location, roughly 10 minutes to Belmont Park and the beach, it was 5 minutes from Sea World (you can see it from the resort) and the airport was less than 10 minutes away. Great location!

First off, the location here is fantastic. It's right on Mission Bay and both the restaurant and the pool area have great views. The grounds are pretty, the rooms are HUGE and the beds are extremely comfy. This place isn't exactly cheap, but we've stayed at similar resorts elsewhere in the US and I would have expected to pay a lot more for this place than what we did. Special mention to the on site Covewood restaurant breakfast/brunch staff. We tried other breakfast places off site but the staff was so nice and the options so tasty that we kept coming back. Good gluten free options too. One minor grumble is you do have to make sure the bar staff are paying attention RE: dietary requirements when you order food. We ordered gluten free and the food that arrived was definitely not gluten free even though the server said it was. Other than that though, excellent.

I stayed at Mission Bay Resort for 3 nights with my toddler. The rooms and facilities are really nice. The location is ideal for kids in that there are about 3 playgrounds walking distance. You do have to drive to get food outside of the hotel though. However, I have to say I was less than pleased with the service. There were multiple instances where the staff lacked common sense. For example, there was no elevator to my room yet the bellhop never mentioned this when he delivered the stroller to my room. We were waiting for towels by the pool and I inquired about food service and how to order. The person said there would be people walking around. I wait and make eye contact and hand gesture to one server and he never comes back. Later I find out that food service had already ended. This is information the initial towel person could've told me or the server who acknowledged me could have come back to tell me. There were many of these little lack of common sense incidents during our trip.

We had a good time at the hotel, but the remodeled rooms are enhanced Motel 6 rooms and not befitting of a 4 Star hotel. The walls are very thin, and on our day of departure we had a group of adults party outside our room until 3 am. It was frustrating that the hotel permitted this in a family resort. We also ran into some service and billing issues that the front desk wasn’t able or willing to resolve, and the management team didn’t contact us during our stay as we had requested. The hotel is in a great location and has a nice outdoor area, but the rooms and service weren’t what we expected.

I absolutely adored my stay at the resort! I opted for the Studio King with a View, and let me tell you, the view was absolutely breathtaking! The cleanliness of the room and its modern updates left a strong impression on us. The staff members throughout the entire resort went above and beyond to provide exceptional service. The check-in process was seamless, which was truly priceless after a long day of travel. Our room was just a few steps away from the bay and a short distance from the pool and restaurant. My son had a blast in the pool, and we found ourselves visiting multiple times a day. Every penny I spent, from the room itself to the resort fee and parking, was worth it! The resort creates a sense of safety and tranquility, even amidst the bustling Bay traffic. As an added bonus, we were treated to five minutes of fireworks each weeknight, right across the Bay at Sea World!
