The beach view is good but everything else is kind of meh. Overall I thought the resort was very overrated for what it is. There are many other better resorts in SD. That being said shelter island is awesome

First time here. Older place, built in the 80's, so it is a bit out dated in terms of the overall design. Rooms were not ready at check-in which was at 4pm. Not due to overbooking or being overly busy, but general housekeeping times. Didn't get in to the room til close to 5pm. Good thing the wife ...
