I rarely write reviews, but my experience at Kona Kai Resort San Diego was disappointing and misleading.
I booked a Bayview Junior Suite King months in advance, expecting the waterfront views and layout shown in the photos. What I got instead was a completely different room — different furniture, layout, and a parking lot view. The front desk even admitted the room didn’t match what was advertised.
At over $400 a night, that’s unacceptable. After pushing back, they finally offered the correct room — but not until the next day. We had to cancel our anniversary plans just to pack, wait, and switch rooms.
This wasn’t just about aesthetics — it was about getting what we paid for. I hope management does the right thing and refunds us for the first night. A resort advertising itself as luxury shouldn’t leave guests feeling deceived.

The hotel is in a beautiful area. It has a terrific gym, pool, and other amenities. There is a lovely walking path near the water. The staff was professional and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable. Most movies were on demand and generally it seemed that the hotel made most eating options geared toward using the rather expensive restaurant. Free coffee in the morning was only available from 4-7 am with no free pastry or fruit options provided in hopes you would pay for the $28 breakfast buffet in the restaurant. The coffee urn was removed promptly at 7:05 am. This seemed a little chintzy for an otherwise good hotel. The parking was an extra $45 per night unexpected expense and the use of the room key card to enter and exit the parking lot was a little inconvenient. Overall we enoyed our visit and would stay here again.

The property was beautiful and amazing. The only downside was they didn’t have prices posted for dining and their prices were a little extra.! Also when booking through *******, we were charged an additional $46 a day resort fee that was unexpected. So the prices we got on ******* we’re not the actual prices we ended up paying.

There was a room charge on my room that was not mine and it’s been impossible to get it resolved. The hotel did bot repond to my message for almost 2 weeks. Just been awful

Very poor front desk service. Many people trying to check in being told they did not have a reservation and that hotel was full. Poor menu choices for high end hotel. We walked to hotels nearby that offered much better menu choices. Looks like they are trying to be high end and kids hotel at same time. Overpriced compared to competitors.

Nice Getaway
The first night the room we had did not have the view that was pictured. We talked to the front desk and we got the BEST room with the view of the harbor. Excellent!! We were disappointed that the only breakfast offered was a buffet for $26+. We are light eaters and a bagel with fruit would have been great. We found a place down the road. I really do like this resort and we will be staying again.
