As I am currently relegated to “visitor” status I find myself day dreaming about planning a quick get away to San Diego. Of course, it would probably mean I would never return, default on my rent and leave behind a house full of stuff I bought at Target and a couch that I expertly negotiated for at a going out of business furniture sale (I’m not leaving with a couch unless I’m leaving with a better deal!”). So I try to avoid actually setting foot on San Diego soil until said triumphant return. However, five years of San Diego living did give me one great San Diego hotel get away experience which I now pass on to you.
I give you… Paradise Point Resort and Spa.
Truth is I got a great deal on the room because (at the time) I was a San Diego resident. One thing about living in a city with some great get aways is last minute deals are readily found in various places. Periodically (if you are as addicted to the Internet as I am) you can check out hotels.com and find last minute “we still have these rooms and we’re hoping to get rid of them” deals, or you can call the hotel it self (especially on weeknights during off seasons) and get some pretty good deals.
Sure living in San Diego is a get away of itself but there are many, many upsides to this quick get away from your get away. The rooms are very nice. Going to the resort feels like entering another world, where you “get away” from the surrounding San Diego noise, traffic, hustle and bustle. It’s a tropical island with one goal in mind “hang out, relax, pretend like you’ve just gotten on your private jet and somehow ended up here.” The pool is amazing by the way, warm and beach like. The bay is close and the food… screw the food… hang out in your room and order the (slightly overpriced) room service. Experience the worlds greatest (and probably most expensive) hamburger, put your feet up and just… exhale. (There’s a few random hidden charges, parking, resort fee, don’t let them surprise you.)
It was just one night. At the time it was all I could spare/ afford, but I still dream about returning for another quick getaway. And just as quickly you can return back to San Diego… paradise not lost… just off to the side over there.
Ooo the website is pretty…
