9.4/10 Exceptional! (157 reviews)
We stayed in a 2 bedroom 2 bath unit. It was perfect for 4 adults. Plenty of room. The kitchen was stocked with dishes. We would certainly stay here again. The only down side, lots of stairs from the parking lot to our unit on the second floor.

Nice resort, pretty basic room but it had all we needed. Mission Bay location requires driving for off resort activities.
