Loved to borrow the bikes and go to Balboa Island, that was really fun. Pool was great and staff there was excellent. Loved that they brought in a DJ one afternoon. Bed was super comfortable.

Read your invoices carefully. Our stay was pleasant until we found dine-in rom charges which never happened. They 'investigated' it for a week and procured a bill with our room number but we were at the pool by the time that is on the bill. So someone messed up or used our room number (with a very generic signature) and we were told the charges stay. It's not the amount of the charge but experience that ruined the whole thing. Now that I do not trust them, I have been asking for the itemized final bill and have yet to receive. I wish I had read other reviews, I wouldn't be as unpleasantly surprised at least. It seems to be their business.

Everything was great except the staff at the Cafe. They were extremely rude. Didn’t care that I had an allergy didn’t want to deal with me.
