excellent location! Amenities were nice as well. At night, the view of the San Diego skyline was perfect.
Our room was definitely nice but you can tell there has been some water damage. There was a slight smell of mildew but I figured it’s part of staying somewhere so close to the water. It was still nice enough that I plan to come back!

The room was very dark. That was not expected, but beds were comfortable and room was clean. The restaurant was excellent. I loved that it was near the water and plenty of walkway areas on the marina and across the street. It was pretty quiet also.
The room was way too dark. Needed more lighting. The rooms on the second and third floor had more lighting because the large windows would not be blocked. The first floor is blocked by bushes so even when shutters are open the room is extremely dark.

The staff was wonderful. The location is great and we prefer it as it far enough away from the hustle and bustle of Downtown.
We have stayed here a few times and have always loved it. Overall I would give it the highest rating. This time, however there were a couple of things I didn't care for. The ledges in the bathroom hadn't been cleaned in quite a while. There was a scrunchy rubber band in a corner, so obviously missed by a vacuum cleaner and the water in the shower backed up. I would hesitate to stay here again. It just seemed like the housekeeping crew were in a hurry to get through.

Restaurant had great food and service. Was pricey with the additional 4% (food price increase?) And other fees which I am not sure the hotel has any say over that or if it is a state issue. That being said every meal was enjoyable and convenient. We ate breakfast and dinner there many times. Highly recommend the Monte Cristo, breakfast burrito, and the Chirizo Benedict. The beet salad was wonderful also! The location was great for dinner as you can watch the sun setting in the marina. The room was comfortable and quiet. Location of the hotel, restraunt and pool areas were fabulous. We enjoyed the fire dancer by the pool on Thursday evening.
Shower curtain rod could have been hung so you could shower without curtain touching you, a minor irritation. When we arrived the room did not have any soap, shampoo or conditioner. When I called they arrived quickly with plenty of extras. There was only decaf coffee also so maybe the room had not been fully restocked before we checked in? Our largest complaint was that the vending machines did not have drinks stocked.

The staff had great customer service skills. Great room, great view, and awesome pool. Especially loved the extended pool hours. Will definitely stay here again.
The only issue we had was when we called to ask for more towels and we still had our privacy sign on the door, the person who brought the towels just used the key card to open the door, didn’t knock.. just barged in. Other than that, the rest of the times towels were delivered to our room the rest of the staff knocked.

Nice and clean room. Great marina view!Easy parking on property and the location was great!
The bathroom had no vent fan and with three of us it got hot and too steamy in there. The bathroom door is on a spring so it was hard to get it to stay open even when wedging a towel under it. We tried to take a midday nap and housekeeping was super loud and slamming doors for hours.

We love this resort for its views of the marina , the lush landscaping and the spacious comfortable immaculate rooms. All of the staff are friendly, courteous and very helpful always going above and beyond to help… this stay included interactions with front desk, maintenance , housekeeping and restaurant personnel . We love the location on shelter island an will return again next year if we can.
we’ve tried this restaurant several times over the past two years but are definitely disappointed . Too expensive for what you got and couldn’t change item at all ( example remove jalapeños from flatbread as item was pre made) ; also no burger choice without pork fat in it . We enjoyed many seafood options at other area restaurants at similar prices . Not sure most items need to be Polynesian style even though that’s the resort theme.

hreat location and water views
the suite accommodates 6 people but the bathroom layout does NOT easily accommodate that size group. sink area shouls be separate from toilet/shower. in addition, this suite definitely needs several mirrors rather than only one in the bathroom. this bathroom situation made it very hard for all of us to get ready, which defeated my purpose in booking a suite—for extra space and ease for a larger group.

The hotel rooms were laid out with direct access from outside. Our room was great and quite spacious with a large bathroom. On one side was the lovely marina just a few yards away and on the other the 'Shelter Bay' promenade. While not in the heart of the city, access to the city centre was very easy either by bus or car (Uber). The hotel bar was great and the bar manager very helpful when we rocked up very late desperate for a drink after a long drive. The staff were really really good across the board and during breakfast (which was really nice) they were very attentive. We would happily stay here again as we loved San Diego and this hotel.
Even with GPS in our hire car after a long drive the hotel was not easy to find in the dark. Perhaps a more visible illuminated sign marking the entrance gate would help. Otherwise, we couldn't really fault anything.

Location was amazing. Right on the marina. Beautiful views all around. On site restaurant was really good. Went there for breakfast twice and had dessert there too. Amenities were nice as they had a huge pool with a hot tub, there were bicycles with 2 hr free usage and a tennis court there as well.
Not much to say as this property did an amazing job at everything. Maybe just to add, there was no room service in case you were looking to have food brought to your room.
