Paradise Point Resort & Spa conjures far-flung island paradises from the Caribbean or South Pacific.But the verdant 44-acre island resort sits not in the ocean, but instead in San Diego’s Mission Bay, a short boat ride to Sea World and a few minutes from downtown.
Paradise Point offers more than 460 guest rooms, including spacious suites, garden rooms, lanai patios, and bayside bungalows.
The award-winning landscaping includes over 600 types of tropical plants. I’ve visited Paradise Point twice in 10 years, and in the time between I began to wonder if my memories had given way to hyperbolic daydreaming.
Could my stay really have been simultaneously relaxing, exciting, and rejuvenating?By the time I arrived, I really needed it to be the latter.
