Great Hotel with beautiful grounds, multiple pools, tennis courts, golf course (which we played; beautiful) and spectacular high-end service. We really enjoyed our stay here, just outside of San Diego.

Top Carmel Valley Hotel Reviews

The Dana on Mission Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Great place "

San Diego Mission Bay Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We love this property!! This was our 2nd time staying. We booked for NYE, which although it was raining, we were still able to enjoy the jacuzzi. Check in was smooth, and you can’t beat the location. Still close to the liveliness of downtown, and old town, but quiet enough for a nice getaway. The bay view is gorgeous, and the christmas tree light up from Seaworld was a nice surprise. Definitely recommend this property. The only downfall being the $45/ night parking. We will be back in the summer for full usage! "
