The hotel

There's a real resort feel to this Mission Bay hotel. On a 14-acre peninsula, the views are quite something, and you’re just steps from the the calm bay waters. Head to the white sandy beach and grab yourself a beach cabana or take a stroll through the lush tropical gardens. The pool is a great spot too and the huge hot tub is just the ticket on a cooler evening. Don't miss an evening cruise around the bay on the Bahia Belle paddle steamer — there’s drinks, live entertainment and views galore.

my cousin and I just got here to enjoy our stay and right off the bat Benjamin (Ben) at the check in desk gave the best aroma and was so welcoming. Ben definitely started the trip off great! That man deserve a raise. Had the biggest smile, jokes, and treated us like his own family. Definitely need more people like Ben!

Ben went above and beyond on two occasions to help with room accomodations and recovering a cell phone left in an Uber. Overall, the grounds were suitable for our needs. It is a large property and there was some extensive walking due to one group of room locations

The rooms are clean, the staff are nice, the location is perfect for us and we love being on the bay…We visit our Kids and grandkids 3-4 times a year, they are in Point Loma so very close and we enjoy PB and that’s 10minutes away! We have stayed here 3 times in the past year and we expect to stay again soon.
