Great resort for a family
Beautiful pool area. Lots of areas to gather with the family. Service by staff was great, especially Steve at the pool bar. Our King garden suite room was comfortable and spacious. Great location along Mission Bay. We took several walks along the Bay with our family. Nice park for kids is nearby. Grounds were well maintained. Had a great say.
