Paradise Point Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"Check in is at 4pm and the only bar on site closes at 5pm. The following day we found out that the Island Store sells alcohol. Food is provided by 2 restaurants near by but we found out that using door dash was better. The restaurant we really wanted to eat at was closed for Labor Day. Staff was accommodating and overall we had a great time."

Inn By The Sea La Jolla

10/10 Excellent

"Even though the hotel was under construction, our family had a wonderful and restful stay. The rooms was comfortable and our partial view was lovely. Unfortunately, we were not able to enjoy the balcony due to the construction that was ongoing during the day on the floor above us. Overall, the hotel was clean and the staff were friendly and helpful with referring local restaurants and other activities."
