    Great massage and beautiful views at the catamaran.

    I came for massages and lunch at the catamaran during my bachelorette! I absolutely adored my masseuse Shelan who knew exactly how to work out my knots. I’ve continued body work with her because her service is exceptional. Highly recommend her for your massages!

    The hidden jewel of San Diego.

    It's a little piece of Hawaii in San Diego. A first class spa, lush landscaping, tropical birds, essentially a private beach on Mission Bay, fabulous food, and a bar with an aquarium of exotic fish to watch while sipping your favorite adult beverage.

    Comfortable and relaxing experience

    I’ve never been to a spa before and don’t really like messages but I would go back. The facilities were really relaxing. The staff were very professional, everything was kept quiet with good ambiance music playing in the background, and the equipment was clean & in good repair. Best of all; Shelan gave an excellent message!

    No more Margaritaville

    Was there for a conference last week and was pretty disappointed. For being in such a great area this hotel is way past needing a whole new facelift/image update. Room felt dingy and dated and I had to physically wrestle with the slider to my patio everyday to get it open and closed and really wasn’t always even sure it was locked properly. For being in such a great area and hosting these size events it seems neglectful that this property hasn’t invested back in itself. The Margaritaville vibe is not cute anymore. One plus I do have to say the conference food was pretty good, knowing that cooking in large quantities can be hard. Lovely setting in the north lawn too.

    Shelan-Massage Therapist at Spa

    Went for a massage at the spa. Shelan was excellent. Precise, efficient, and knowledgeable. She quickly identified my problem areas and focused on them. Unbelievable job working out the knots in my scapula area. Left feeling like an entirely new person.
