The lanai wasn’t the same one from the picture, and neither was the bathroom. Our lanai was dirty and covered in bird crap. I had to clean out the drawers myself before we put our items in, they had crap in it. We didn’t get what was shown to us, nor what we paid for. If I personally pick the room, and every different room options has pictures attached to it, I expect to get what I chose. And we didn’t. It was extremely disappointing. Also make sure the front desk has manners. They are the very first people we see when we come into the resort. They should be welcoming and smiling, with positive attitudes. You know warm. Don’t have a nasty unwelcoming attitude. Go work somewhere where you can be hidden and not with guests if your like that. The very first girl we dealt with was like that when we tried to see if we could possibly check in earlier. Samantha was excellent, and the girl with the heart glasses was kind. But the first girl, needs to work somewhere else.

Property was old and not well kept. We had to transfer rooms. Bathrooms were extremely small and difficult to maneuver. This is an old property and was very disappointing and underwhelming. Close to beach access was the only good thing.

I was expecting so much more from a 4 star resort. This place is 2 stars at BEST. It is very reminiscent of camping. It is very isolated and it feels like it is tucked away in the woods. We kept finding little bugs everywhere. Especially behind the curtains there were upwards of 100s of bugs. The rooms felt damp and in desperate need for renovation. The table was wobbly and everything feels unclean. It is also poorly lit at night and it feels very unsafe. I booked for two nights for my family at $832 but they charged my credit card $1200 without any explanation for the surprise increase in price. The minute I checked in, I couldn’t wait to check out and go home. I am honestly so disappointed and was really looking forward to the 4 star experience. If you want to PAY for 4 stars but EXPERIENCE 1-2 stars, then this is the place for you.

Could be a really amazing resort, in need of a face lift. The main restaurant was closed on M/T and not open until 5pm Wednesday evening which was unfortunate as our stay was M-W. Hidden costs tacked onto Expedia's cost that is supposed to be inclusive of taxes and fees. And on top of that, they charge a $49/day parking fee when each individual unit has a dedicated parking spot directly attached. Main pool was being painted so didn't get to enjoy the primary feature that was what helped us decide to book for our 4 y/o. Wasn't horrible by any means but not what we were hoping for. Won't go back, but wouldn't discourage others from trying it out.

The rooms are outdated our toilet paper holder was falling out of the wall the pillows are non existent and we used cushions off the couch tried to find the adult only pool but every pool was full of kids even the one designated as the adult pool I think this used to be a beautiful property but you struggle to get service at the restaurant as locals take up a lot of the room we had an hour wait given to us all 3 times we went there even thought there were numerous empty tables inside and outside on a good note the staff were amazing to deal with cost we’re definitely high for what was received.

We booked this spot for the proximity to Sea World and the price was better than most in Mission Bay. You get what you pay for. It is very close to Sea World (not walking distance though, especially with kids) and has great beach, bay access. Parking is $49/night (not readily advertised or an option) for a spot not close to the room and then Sea World parking is $37/day so for the $135 extra we could've done a more expensive or closer hotel anyway. The front desk staff was less than thrilled to be there and very hard to reach...the room phone uses an AI system that doesn't work so we had to walk to the lobby every time we needed anything. The bartender at Barefoot was great though! The room was cute and clean and a little worn down. Overall...ok spot but would try somewhere else next time we're in SD.

After waiting three hours past our check in time, we were finally able to get into our room. It was clear there was flooding (presumably from a toilet) in the room, which had a terrible odor of bleach (I have two young boys, one with autism, who are very sensitive to strong smells… especially something like bleach). We were assigned a different room with a different view, which was fine, but we had a door connecting to folks next door. This isn’t exactly the hotels fault, but our neighbors were very loud from 10:30pm to 1:30am. We didn’t tell the front desk because we had already dealt with them enough, but the issue was when we woke up at 6:00am (very mindful of our volume) and the neighbors banged LOUDLY on the shared door three separate times. On the third knock, I had enough and said “are you kidding me, you kept us awake until 1:30am!”. No knocks proceeded after this, but we felt forced to leave about 30 minutes later because we had just been through enough after everything the night prior + not being able to get to sleep until after 1:30am. They accommodated us by getting us into a new room after hours of waiting, but unfortunately will not be staying again because of these issues above.

Staff was courteous for most part but i felt a little slighted and was just told about the parking in front of room but not the free parking lots ... The room was good overall - not the cleanest ... Our next day aftercheck in --- we were at Sea World all day when we got back --- we requested towels and garbage services because no room service yet by 3:30ish pm. Of course a couple ladies knock on the door after 5pm for the service. Feels they were short staff.

Those are small gripes for a really beautiful property good overall experience ... it was my wife and our 2 lil ones ... the littlest one had her 4th birthday trip weekend here ... Now our other wants her birthday back here in May+Sea World so i would say 4 stars since kids loved it overall... We'll see u in May parked in free parking lot - knowing more about the property and will go to pool this time too ... Thank you

Also the boat rental was closed even though one of the day it was amazing weather. Bring friends or family or else it’s very lonely no central lobby to hangout at just a bar. It all pretty dated, but the location is very nice and peaceful.

We have stayed here many times over the years, and always enjoy our visit. Situated on an island in Mission Bay with easy access to Old Town, downtown, San Diego Zoo, and Balboa Park.

The resort is set in a beautiful, lush, tropical setting. This time we stayed in a lanai garden room near the main pool. Comfortable beds, large tv, refrigerator, and nicely equipped bath area.

There are two restaurants on site. Barefoot Bar and Grill is located overlooking Mission Bay. It is a casual, come as you are eatery overlooking Mission Bay serving delicious breakfast, lunch, and dinner items. We have not eaten at Tidal, which is a more upscale, fine dining restaurant.

There are three pools on the property, each with a jacuzzi. There is a fun miniature golf course that I believe is free for guests, and a small marina that rents several types of water crafts. There is also a well equipped fitness center and small market/ deli as well.

The resort was beautiful with lots of plants and birds with small ponds. We enjoyed using the pools, spas, and mini golf. Breakfast was great at the restaurant and when the coffee shop was open it was good. Dinner reservations were ridiculous. We tried to reserve though the front desk and was told that we could only get a table by using Open Door because they required a credit card to hold the table but the hotel already had our credit card being held so really this should updated for the resort guests. We got the table, arrived and the restaurant wasn't half full and the food was uninspiring and over priced with very few options for vegetarian meals and picky teenagers. The mussels dish had what looked like and tasted like pork fat chunks in the sause. Our room wasn't clean when we arrived. There was dirt on the floor, dust on the lamp base, bathroom door had dust buildup. Called to get extra towels, blankets and coffee maker and refrigerator fixed because it was leaking. Each time the room attendant would arrive and not have what we requested. When the coffee maker was being replaced the attendant didn't know how to pour the hot water out and almost burnt her hands and we had to stop her and show her how to empty it safely with a towel. Overall, the resort is very well taken care of. We just happened to get a room that wasn't cleaned properly and needed the appliances replaced. Skip the fine dinning restaurant. There are many better restaurants around town.

I would NOT recommend Paradise Point San Diego and would not stay here again. This property felt like a low-bar party island catering to college or underage crowds and is absolutely not worth the price. If you are seeking a quiet, serene stay, look elsewhere.

My partner and I stayed for three nights in mid-December 2025 expecting a peaceful resort experience. Instead, the property was loud, chaotic, and nothing like the tranquil atmosphere shown in photos. It felt like a waste of money and a disappointing experience overall.

Throughout our stay, large groups of college-aged visitors wandered the grounds yelling, singing, and asking guests for directions to pools and hot tubs. It was obvious many were not staying at the resort and were sneaking into gated areas. The environment felt more like a college dorm than a resort.

The worst experience was our final night. We returned around 6:00 pm hoping to relax and pack, but extremely loud music from a nearby outdoor event made it impossible to stay in the room. The speakers felt as though they were inside our room. When we called the front desk, we were told the music would continue until 10:00 pm. Staff could clearly hear the noise over the phone and told us we would be refunded, so we left without requesting a room change. No refund was issued. After several follow-ups, we were offered a $100 credit and told no refund had been promised.

Why were we placed next to such a loud event? This treatment of guests is unacceptable.

Paradies Point feels a bit like high end camping with large, nice rooms that need a bit of improvement here and there. The staff is young and not very hospitable - just doing their jobs. Expensive food and drinks - $500 for two appetizers, sandwiches and drinks for 4 plus a infant. Rooms are expensive but location is fantastic and the pools and fitness center quite excellent.
