Top Cardiff-by-the-Sea Hotel Reviews

Paradise Point Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"The property is very beautiful; however, it feels a tad bit outdated. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and wouldn’t mind staying again."

Ocean Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was great. Access to beach was amazing. Near bus line for easy travel to downtown and areas north. Ocean Beach area is for beer and coffee loving hippies. It is not a resort area, but amazing local restaurants, bars, and coffee joints. If you want to experience a locals area of San Diego, ocean beach is awesome."

Hyatt Regency Mission Bay Spa and Marina

8/10 Good

"The room was beautiful. View of the bay beautiful. Overall it was great except when I got there the man that helped me check in was very rude. Probably because I wasn’t the same color as everyone walking in. And it says on the map that there is Starbucks coffee but there isn’t . Was actually looking forward to walking there and not having to leave the hotel ."
