Ramona Vacations from $361

As I understand it, this apartment property decided to turn the first floor into hotel rooms a few months ago so they are still working things out. It's in a great location and the front desk staff are helpful, but: 1. There's no property signage at all so you're not sure you're at the right place. 2. Same with the paid parking: signage please! 3. The rooms are super tiny with no place to unpack. 4. Needs more towels. 5. They need to clean the room or at least offer to.

We recently stayed at the Hyatt Vacation Club for 5 nights and overall had a good experience, but it started off rough. Check-in was a nightmare—we had to wait over 1.5 hours before we finally got our room. The front desk couldn’t even give us a time estimate for when our room would be ready, which was incredibly frustrating. We probably would’ve waited even longer if I hadn’t spoken to a manager. As soon as I did, the room was suddenly available—something that didn’t sit well with us. That said, once we got settled, the resort itself was beautiful. The property is well-kept and relaxing. Our room was spacious and comfortable, which made a big difference for our family. The restaurant food was just okay—not great, but decent. The real highlight was the variety of family-friendly activities. We had a great time doing the escape room and going fishing together—it definitely added to the experience. Despite the frustrating check-in, we ended up having a nice stay. Just be aware that you might need to be persistent to get things moving.

Restaurants were surprising good. Rooms were remodeled. We enjoyed our stay

Loved the makeup washcloth. Nice touch. Hated that parking price wasn’t stated upfront.
