Excellent Brunch on Xmas Day
We had reservations for Xmas day for lunch at 1:30 PM - we had just landed from Atlanta - and we reached at 1 PM - It was a wonderful view of the water. we sat outside since it was a gorgeous day They had a brunch menu. The drinks were average but the food was amazing - The croissant appetizer was phenomenal. My daughter had mac and cheese and fries and she enjoyed it. My wife had chilaquiles, my son had the Pancakes and I had the apple cinnamon French toast. The food was just amazing. It is expensive though but the food and the ambience is excellent. The service is good but slow and intermittent. Food is highly recommended.

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.
