My Favorite San Diego Resort

April 7, 2013 by Mom on the Make 1 Comment

Last week was Spring Break for our three little ones.  We decided to spend a few nights in San Diego to visit Legoland.

When deciding on a place to stay, I remembered staying at “Vacation Village” on Mission Bay back in the early to mid ’80s.  I always loved our visits there and wanted to share this special place with the kidlets.

Vacation Village still looks pretty much the same, but they have taken on a new name, “Paradise Point Resort and Spa”.  With the exception of the rooms all receiving major overhauls with beautiful tile flooring and luxury bedding, the beautiful pools and landscape of this very special resort have remained the same.

The whole family relished the experience of staying here for four nights.

The resort is actually on an island, so you have a tropical feeling as you’re roaming around the beautifully landscaped grounds.  There are at least five pools at the resort, fun bridges to cross over lily pad lined lakes, and a really cool tower to climb.  The resort has a beautiful miniature golf course, tennis courts, bike rentals, bocce ball, croquet, and a spa.

Paradise Point Tower. The kids love climbing the tower. The view is amazing! This tower was here in the ’80s when my family stayed here. I loved it as much as my kids do now.

Broadway and I saw this beautiful heron hanging out by the lily pads and just had to snap a photo.

We all loved our stay here at Paradise Point and hope to visit again soon.  We all highly recommend this resort as a top notch place to bring your family when visiting San Diego.

    Great review of this San Diego resort! With so many different options, it’s hard to choose the right place to stay without having actually seen it before. That’s why your post is so helpful.
