It looks better in pictures; I may not go back. It was just okay. There is not much to do, and it does not feel like a resort. The pictures created a different picture. The front desk was minimal.

There are much better places to stay. The photos make this "resort" look much better than it really does. The rooms are very basic and worn. The carpet was disgusting and the room was not clean. You can hear everything your neighbors do. We listened to screaming children, dogs barking, people stomping around above us and couples fighting the entire time. We got no sleep, it was awful. The bed was like sleeping on concrete, the pillows were flat and terrible. The "lake" is more like a pond in actuality. Nothing positive to say about staying here.

Disliked: Amenities
Really wanted to like this place, but didn't. It's worn, the walls are paper thin. We were on the ground floor and the people above us kept us awake all night for the duration of our stay. You can hear people walking, talking and slamming doors all night. Do yourself a favor and stay as far away from the pool as possible because they play music all day at the pool starting very early in the morning. The resort fee is a joke: you pay for a stale s'mores kit and alleged lake access you never get to redeem. Additionally, the property is quite far from San Diego proper so you'll spend more than forty minutes driving to and from there. The staff we encountered were nice, but it doesn't make up for the property's shortcomings. Very unhappy stay.
