This bayfront property offers the perfect blend of tropical ambiance and Southern California charm. The location is unbeatable, nestled between Mission Bay and Pacific Beach. You get the best of both worlds, with serene bay views on one side and easy access to the ocean on the other. The tropical gardens throughout the property create a peaceful oasis that makes you feel like you've been transported to a Hawaiian resort. The restaurant on site deserves special mention. The food was excellent. Whether enjoying breakfast with bay views or dinner as the sun set, every meal was memorable.

Best, family chill resort in town

We love staying at the catamaran. In February we didn't know the tide would be so low, we usually come in the summer. Love the relaxed resort, the birds and location. The free arcade is great for the kids and pool is awesome. Get the pond rooms or beach rooms, best scenery.
