The new key card bracelets worked poorly. Our room was only cleaned once. There were no books or pamphlets on how to order room service, and what the hotel amenities are, It was only once we called down to the main desk were we told we had to go to a special tv channel and scan a QR code.

Hotel, beach, pools, and restaurants all good - airport is close but you don’t hear jets - just the crashing waves. The area is run down and the town has to give it a major facelift. Go to the nicer El Coronado area a few miles away unless you stay at the hotel the whole time.

Our experience was very disappointing. On the first day of our stay, our daughter was hit by one of the doors leading to the outside terrace on the property. The staff was not helpful in handling the situation, and instead of properly addressing our concerns, they offered us cheesecake as if that would make things better. Our daughter had to walk around with a black eye for the rest of the trip, and it was uncomfortable because people assumed we weren’t taking care of her or that something worse had happened. On top of that, the room itself was very basic and not worth the $600 per night price. Overall, this was not the experience we expected, and we will not be staying here again.

We have stayed at the resort many times over the years and always have a wonderful time. The facility is lovely, and the staff is always pleasant and accommodating. For some reason, however, we had to track down toilet paper, as though it was being rationed! And final note, I realize the spa is no longer owned by the hotel but their “ we don’t do butts“ massage policy is laughable.
