Paradise Point Resort & Spa
Great central location for visiting sites like Sea World and the San Diego Zoo with a short drive to fast food and highway access. We liked the multiple pools, beautiful garden/pond area and walking distance to the beach. The pool bathrooms could have been cleaner and there is a lot of bird poop ...

Didnt eat breakfast. Staff was friendly. Bathroom was very dated and light looked likt it hadn't been dusted or cleaned in decades. The view was spectacular! Will stay again prior to crusing
