San Diego Mission Bay Resort

All of the staff were friendly and helpful. The food was definitely priced high but plenty of options within ten minutes of the resort to drive to for other options. The housekeeping did an amazing job at keeping the rooms tidy. They had plenty of fun recreational activities to enjoy and the easy walk out to the bay was amazing especially with little kids. We did have one problem. We ordered food from here poolside and later in the day saw a HUGE rat run right through a hole on the bottom right of the door. Really made us nauseous. We let the front desk know. We weren’t offered a refund for the food or anything. The next day the hole in the door was still there and hadn’t been covered with anything. It was like the rat knew right where to go. And it looked well fed which makes us feel like it eats around in there. We just feel like they could have made an effort to either refund us or at least have went to cover the hole in the door and taken some extra measures to prevent the rat from scrimmaging around where many people eat.

Recently, eight families from our neighborhood—a crew of 40 people in total, with kids ranging from 5 months to 10 years old—had the absolute pleasure of ringing in the summer with a staycation at the Mission Bay Resort. Even though I have lived in San Diego my entire life, I had never actually stayed at this resort before. Now that I have, I am officially hooked and plan to be back often! From start to finish, the resort went above and beyond to accommodate our massive group. Summer, the property GM, is an absolute rockstar. She personally arranged for our entire group to be situated together around a large, grassy courtyard. This setup was an absolute game-changer. It made it incredibly easy for the adults to socialize while keeping our gaggle of kids safely entertained. The courtyard became our hub for daytime whiffle ball games, nighttime bonfires, and impromptu dance parties. The location of our rooms couldn't have been more perfect. We were just steps away from the amazing pool, the bayfront (where we took full advantage of water sports like paddleboarding), and we had a prime, front-row view of the spectacular drone show at night. What truly sets this resort apart, though, is the staff. Every single employee we encountered was remarkably nice and helpful. Have to give a special shoutout to Mimi at the coffee shop, whose infectious smile was the perfect start to our mornings, and David at the pool, who kept our entire army hydrated and fed all day with top-tier service. And of course Summer, the resort's stellar leader, for the guest experience she has cultivated. So many incredible memories were made this weekend. Mission Bay Resort is a true beachfront San Diego gem, and our neighborhood crew is already counting down the days until our next stay!

Loved the location, restaurants and pool! Rooms were nice also! Staff was friendly and check in was a breeze! I do think the resort fee should be less for what you get.

The resort is clean, safe and they have thought of everything! The staff was great, service was great and overall the stay was top notch! We did a staycation with several other families and they were able to put us all in the same building and we loved it! We will be back!

Came to Mission Bay Resort for a staycation and was so impressed! We have young kids, and the resort is truly perfect for families. Our room backed onto a grassy field, which let us relax while our kids ran around and had a blast. The fire pits helped us create magical memories gathering around and roasting s'mores. Rooms were perfectly sized, upgraded, and clean. The pool was seriously the PERFECT pool for kids, with a wading entrance, plenty of shallow water for younger swimmers, and fantastic service by the pool. We really loved the bay being right there, and a great view of the Sea World drone show just steps from our rooms. We ate breakfast at Covewood, which had such a upscale but still comfortable atmosphere. Love the location, value, and service. Truly a five-star place.

First time at the resort and definitely enjoyed a relaxing weekend. We were pretty lazy and didn’t explore as much as we could have to take advantage of all of the amenities but that only gives us motivation to come back. The lobster tacos are awesome! Highly recommend those. The kid pool, that’s only a foot in depth) is wonderful for toddlers and littles and has plenty of chairs for the parents to relax literally feet away from their kiddos. The rooms and hallways smell amazing! The Mercado (the snack shop) literally has everything you could need. Jessica, our waitress at Covewood, was wonderful. The manager, Barrett was also a delight! Such a pleasure to have met them both. We LOVED the drone show after dinner. It was such a treat for our ocean loving toddler. We will definitely be back for another stay. We love SD and this resort is definitely on our list of places to revisit.

Had an amazing brunch at the bar with some friends! Jaden was an awesome bartender - so welcoming and attentive. Great service and great drinks. The false bay Paloma was so refreshing, and the birria Benedict was super delish! Will definitely be back!

Had a great experience! The bartender Jaden made the bar atmosphere so fun and he was very attentive! The drink was refreshing and the food was delicious. Will definitely be back :)

Great property with lots to do with a 9 year old! You can see Sea World across the bay and the s’mores on the beach was a great touch. Loved the pool and hot tubs!
