Commotion by the ocean Best of IgoUgo

Overview

Quote:
There are many amusement parks withen easy driving distance from the resort. Lego Land is only three miles away. The San Diego Zoo, Wild Animal Park, Sea World are just 30 miles away. California Adventure, Disneyland, and Knotts Berry Farm are only 60 miles away. The kids loved their time at Disneyland and California adventure. We also went to the Del Mar fair, which was very nice. One of my fondest memories was having coffee in the morning on the terrace overlooking the ocean. This was very relaxing for me.

Best Things Nearby:The beach, resturants, and amusement parks. We enjoyed all three when we stayed. There are many nice casual resturants withen walking distance from the resort. Fidel's restaurant and Harbor Fish are my personal favorites.Best Things About the Resort:Location, of course -- this resort is located just steps away from the beach.

The food was good and moderately priced. We enjoyed lunch there on the patio overlooking the pool and courtyard. The hot tip on this resturant is that a great sampler plate that normally sells for $11 is discounted during happy hour to $5.75. With a couple of drinks, it made a nice meal for the wife and I.

This place was great. The food was priced right and was extremely good. This is an open-air resturant overlooking the beach that stays prety busy all afternoon. You can expect a short wait to be seated, but I thought it was worth the wait.
