There's a real resort feel to this Mission Bay hotel. On a 14-acre peninsula, the views are quite something, and you’re just steps from the the calm bay waters. Head to the white sandy beach and grab yourself a beach cabana or take a stroll through the lush tropical gardens. The pool is a great spot too and the huge hot tub is just the ticket on a cooler evening. Don't miss an evening cruise around the bay on the Bahia Belle paddle steamer — there’s drinks, live entertainment and views galore.

From the parking attendant to the front desk overall, the rooms, amenities and the location it self. Very unique location offering beach front within 10 steps from room patio to the water. Another worthy destination added to our list and definitely will be back for an enjoyable time. Great job Esai we were very pleased and happy with your professional service! The crib provided to the room was another big plus and made our stay much easier with our 9 month old.
