Paradise Point Resort & Spa
Great central location for visiting sites like Sea World and the San Diego Zoo with a short drive to fast food and highway access. We liked the multiple pools, beautiful garden/pond area and walking distance to the beach. The pool bathrooms could have been cleaner and there is a lot of bird poop ...
