This was our first holiday away with kids. We thoroughly enjoyed the service. It was outstanding. Our room was very clean and had a beautiful view of the grounds. There is an abundance of activities for the children, ours loved the pool and Kidtopia. The restaurants had delicious food and the room service was fast. This is a top resort, expect to pay for the extras. It's worth it, this resort is only a short drive to the beach and all amenities. Definitely worth staying there!

Right from the beginning when I arrived, the valet tried to take control of my car before I even checked in. Upon check in, I was made aware of the $*daily self park charge (which necessitates a shuttle) or pay $*Per day for valet parking, there were no other choices. You can?t pull the car close to the room, because there are no parking spaces. The pathways are shared by golf carts driven fast by employees who expect you to give them the right of way. I almost got run over several times. These people seem to forget that they are here to help create my relaxing experience, which I did not have at this location. The first evening upon arrival, I went to the lounge bar an ordered a martini and was blown away by the $*price tag. The location of the lounge bar is right above the children?s play area with noises of air-hockey and fuss ball machines drifting upward to where I was trying to enjoy my expensive martini. When I travel I like to lay by the pool, but here I couldn?t relax by the pool because of too many screaming children. There are no adult-only pools on this property. Most Properties that charge this much per room have at least one adult-only pool. There is the $22.00 per day resort charge for the use of the pool, the gym, entry only into the spa lobby, a newspaper at the door, and free coffee in the room (every motel has a coffee machine in the room), and free access to the internet (the only thing I used). The first room I was offered smelled like damp rug, and there was too much noise from the room above. Once I got moved I was happier. Except for the noisy children and the inconsiderate adults playing with them outside my resort room window, everything else was OK.

For as much money as we spent, I expected more luxery. My courtyard was covered in cigarette butts, and my 2 year old picking them up. The bathroom was disgusting, but after I called front desk they cleaned, but did not clean up cigarette butts. They tell you they can provide a crib for your little one, and when we got there it was just a little pack and play. The pool was very nice...they keep it nice and warm. This is a very snooty place, so if that is not for you, don't stay here. It is also about 1/2 hour outside of San Diego, so plan accordingly.

It's all about Golf, if you don't love Golf, stay out of this miserable place.

I stayed here for four nights while my 12 year old son attended a camp nearby. I was traveling without my husband. I had to preview four rooms before I found one that was to my liking- some rooms were very noisy- near car park and/ or housekeeping facilites. Our room was fine, if a little small. The beds could be upgraded. Most four star and up hotels now have spa type beds with down liners and comforters, etc. The family pool area was great with a wonderful slide, but extremely crowded. The spa pool area is fabulous for adults but you must have a treatment booked to use it or pay an extra $* even if you are a hotel guest. The spa facilities are wonderful and my massage was great. The valet parking area is a nightmare. Extrememly crowded with long waits. The resort also has a membership component plus functions like weddings, etc. and everyone uses the same parking area. One night I had to go and find my own car or I was going to be late picking up my son. Use the self park, it is not that far and worth the walk. Most employees were really nice and helpful but our room didn't get cleaned until 3-4:00PM every day. Overall, our experience was really good but, if possible, avoid the weekends- very crowded!
