I absolutely love this hidden gem for a staycation. Very pet friendly, my dog always loves staying in these rooms for some reason. The food offered here is excellent and there is an Aldis close by for your food essentials. Every stay you can hit a bucket of balls and paddleboard and free bike rentals. You are a lovely 20 minute drive to Encinitas, a delightful beach town.

Absolutely amazing front desk agent! She was so pleasant and explained all the benefits of the stay and details of the property. I think her name may have been Bea? Tall woman with blonde hair, being in management you could not ask for a better forward facing representative of your company.

Disliked: Amenities
So while this place has had an update to the overall grounds/exterior and partial upgrades on interior- it was not super clean. Visible stains on carpets; feeling run down. Ans my biggest complaint at check in was told resort fees were included and at check out had to barter banter with staff - if was removed but I didnt even stay there 12 hours and did not get to use the resort pool/jaccuzzi and bikes or boats. The food also was not great- got dinner at the on property restaurant that was "not affiliated" but inly place to get food and got sick the next day. Place was a cool concept- but needs help.
