The staff was very helpful and friendly especially Gaith, who went above and beyond to help us out with extra towels and room items. The room was well maintained. The property is beautiful. The restaurants on the resort are overpriced for the quality of food. You can eat at a very nice restaurant outside of the resort for much better quality and better price in my opinion, the spa prices are also very high. They wanted 200$ per person for a 1 hr body massage, we went off the property get a 90 minute massage for 95$ per person. Over all the property is nice but, if you want to get food and a spa experience I'd recommend going off the property to get more for your money.

When we arrive to our room, we noticed that the housekeeper did not clean under the toilet seat or inside the toilet from whoever stayed before us. Air conditioner is extremely loud., and the shower would change temperature on its own going from extreme hot to extreme cold. It was a constant adjustment.

I’ve been staying at Paradise Point for literally my whole life (42 yo) my parents honeymooned here before it was called Paradise Point! Now I bring my family. I think PP has gotten insanely over priced. Like way beyond what it’s worth. Paying close to $100 a day in the resort fee and parking fee on top of your hotel room costs is bonkers. Every room has a parking space numbered and designated for that room, why are we paying extra to use the space?? Adding an automatic, 21-22 % (you get zero choice in the matter) service fee to every food and drink purchase is bonkers. It’s just not what it used to be. There are lots of great hotels in the Mission Bay Area. So check out other options.

David at the front desk and John with security were amazing and took care of us the whole stay and went above and beyond to help us with anything we needed.

David sent a complimentary bottle of champagne and John built us a bonfire at the beach and drove us back and forth to the best spot that was super far walk from our room! We were so grateful!

The level of service and hospitality is incredible! We will be back asap!

The resort needs to be updated. The bathrooms were dated and one tiny shelf in the shower for toiletries. Housecleaning was horrible. Everytime they cleaned, they left an empty toilet paper roll and no extra rolls. One day they left no shower gel. And we ordered an extra blanket and pillows our first day and it took 3 calls and 10 hours to get them! They don’t answer the front desk phone and instead have an automated service or they text you. The prices for drinks at pool are $20 for any drink! Ridiculous. And crappy pool towels and cushions on lounge chairs. And their market only had tiny bottles of water for $3. We went to the gym to fill our water bottles. The restaurants are good, especially Tidal. Definitely not worth more than $250/night place. The bellmen are great.

The location is great, and there is a lot to do. Because there are five pools and multiple hot tubs, we never felt overcrowded. The miniature golf course is also really fun! Though it is an active setting, much of the resort feels peaceful and relaxing.

The floors of our room were atrocious. My daughter was wearing brand-new white socks, Within five minutes they were black. Once they did another cleaning, it was a lot better. Around the property, you could tell landscaping maintenance isn’t their strongest point. I was facing the garden lanai, I made a comment to the front desk that it was a mess in the back. Grass hasn’t been cut in weeks, I found cans and red solo cups all over the place.

the property did not meet my expectations. The resort was very large, our room smelled of mold, and we had to change rooms. We were charged an additional $50 per day for parking, even though a car was necessary because the property is far from everything.

There was no coffee shop, and the only food available during the day had to be purchased on the property at very high prices. Considering the amount I paid, I did not receive the level of service or value I expected.

Fantastic resort in the Mission Bay area with lots of amenities for the family to use (tennis, mini golf, basketball, pickle ball etc) as well as kayaks and paddleboards for hire. Property was very well maintained and felt very safe for families. Resort was incredibly busy over the 4th July weekend but even then it was possible to find available loungers at one of the pools. Room was a good size and was nicely furnished and very clean. The takeout breakfast options were reasonably priced, however the restaurant menus (barefoot, tidal,and main pool bar) had limited options. What was available was of a decent standard. Mission Bay bars and restaurants were good although parking can be very difficult especially at the weekend. Our family had a great time at Paradise Point and would happily recommend.

First of all the check in took a long time. I had to wait for 2 hours for the room to be ready. Second, I m a clean freak and I saw one of the things they mentioned is everyday room service. However, the people who cleaned the room did not change the bed cover or sheets they just replaced towels nothing else. I was so disappointed. I booked a king beach front with fireplace and every time I take my dog to beach and come back the room gets messy and I had to stay in the mess for 5 days. I will never book with them again.

Great old school resort to relax and unwind. The flora and fauna weren’t well maintained and there was duck feces covering a lot of the walking paths, but were cleaned each night.

Property is older, towels and linens economy/average, Lanai (garden) units do not specify street facing verse garden facing when nightly rate is the same. Great resort for family with many amenities from pools, miniature golf, ping-pong, bike and water sport rentals. I support additional resort fees for amenities as mentioned above, however I do find charging $49 nightly rates for vehicle that has parking spot assigned to your unit ridiculous and price gouging. Nightly cost for parking was highest one of the I’ve paid when comparing the property, which was not Las Vegas. This becomes a hidden cost that if aware may allow families to compare other properties. Lastly, in my opinion this establishment lacks main pool security. Daily free public parking is adjacent to main pool and I personally spoke to a few couples and families that were swimming/lounging in pool that were not staying on property.

It was nice! We traveled with a small child and loved that it was so close to a calm beach with small waves. The pools were also nice and the rooms clean. The only two downsides was that they only had one sit down restaurant with not such amazing food and then a coffee bar in the morning, both overpriced for the quality. It’s also a bummer that they state one price on the hotel website and then add all these extra fees and additions, just charge people up front for the full cost and don’t sneak in the extra $49 parking per day and resort fees last minute.

We loved the central location that made it easy to get anywhere in town. We also loved that you didn't have to leave the resort at all. The adult pool was great for us as the other pools were very crowded and we would not have been able to enjoy the pool with that many people. The front desk staff, the room attendants, and all the food service staff at the pool were great.
The ONLY negative thing we experienced was trying to have breakfast at Barefoot Bar and Grill. We were seated right away, but then we were never approached by a server to get drinks or order food. We finally left after about 30 minutes, and no one even seemed to notice. We just had breakfast at other restaurants in the area for the rest of our stay. No problem.

Paradise Point has a beautiful property and grounds, and the main pool was a lot of fun for our family. The island-style atmosphere is unique and relaxing, and the location is convenient for visiting San Diego attractions.

That said, for the price, I expected a bit more. Complimentary breakfast would have been a nice addition considering the resort fees and overall cost of the stay. The bathroom in our room felt small and could use some updating. We also found the food options on the property to be quite expensive for the quality and portions offered.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay and the scenery was wonderful, but there were enough drawbacks that it didn’t quite feel like a great value for the money. We’d consider returning, but only if we found a good rate.

I took my children here and we stayed for 6 days. Overall, it’s a beautiful resort with beautiful views. Now with that said, it needs to be updated. Everything felt outdated from the TV to the beds. I was really disappointed when we saw our room, and had I not paid for everything upfront, I would have gone elsewhere. The resort fees were also a bit ridiculous. I felt like I got scammed as the price really doesn’t equal the experience. I will say it’s really close to the airport and attractions such as SeaWorld so that was nice.

I was very disappointed with our stay. We came hoping to create a memorable birthday experience, but unfortunately the condition of the resort did not meet our expectations.

The room had spiders and other critters coming down from the ceiling, and it smelled as though it had not been properly cleaned. The floors were filthy, and it felt as if the cleaning equipment itself was not being maintained. When a place calls itself “Paradise,” that standard should apply not only to the beautiful outdoor surroundings but also to the cleanliness and comfort of the rooms.

The pools also appeared unclean, which made it difficult to fully enjoy the amenities. Throughout the resort, including near several restaurants, there were strong odors that suggested grease traps or cleaning areas had not been properly maintained. We had planned to order food within the resort, but the unpleasant smells discouraged us from doing so.

I believe the resort would greatly benefit from investing in additional staff and more consistent maintenance. This review is intended as constructive feedback to help improve the guest experience and bring the property up to the standard its name promises.
