In the late 1950s, the city of San Diego transformed the shallow coastal waters near its downtown area into Mission Bay Park, the largest aquatic park in the West and still the area’s premiere water-sports playground. At the center of the action, Paradise Point claims a 44-acre island made up of sleepy lagoons and pools, beach, grassy expanses, and exquisite tropical gardens.
Guests of the four-diamond resort live in 462 cottage-style guest rooms and suites recently redesigned with inspiration from the South Pacific and Bali. Groups meet in the new $9 million conference center complete with full convention facilities for up to 1,100 attendees, a grand ballroom, and smaller meeting rooms of all descriptions. Outside, nearly 30,000 square feet of space for open-air events complements the 36,821 square feet inside.
For recreation, fitness buffs head to the workout facility, racquet fans to the tennis courts, golfers to the 18-hole putting course, swimmers and sunbathers to the five pools, and ocean-sports enthusiasts to the marina for hours of fun on the bay. In contrast to all this California activity, The Spa at Paradise Point employs the traditions of Bali and Thailand to promote peace and relaxation along with wellness and beauty. Naturally, the two restaurants—Baleen San Diego for fine dining and the Barefoot Bar & Grill for casual—entertain with seating both indoors and out overlooking the bay.

This property has it all! Fabulous meeting rooms with the best food I have ever tasted during meetings, fantastic and responsive staff, amazing on property views and activities as well as being close to the airport. 1000% recommend this property.

Wendy C. TPI Composites, Inc. Corporate Planner
I really enjoyed Paradise Point for our multi-day conference (peak 200 attendees). Their meeting space worked well for our group. Food and beverage options were great. All of our events went very well and their conference services team was very attentive to my needs. Hotel rooms are a little dated and those near the water seemed to have more wear, but overall accommodations were comfortable and service was very good (and consistent). While we typically don't re-host the same program in the same location, I would definitely consider them again for a similar program.
Overall Rating: 4.5/5
Sara B. Event Planning Support Corporate Planner
This is a nice property for those mid-level meetings. The rooms are clean and a good size. If you like the “campus style” properties, you will love this hotel. The grounds are beautifully kept and the hotel staff is great. The hotel is a bit secluded though, it you don’t have a car, you are pretty stuck.
Overall Rating: 3.9/5

This was my third program at Paradise Point since Destination Hotels and Resorts took them over. Wow, they have done such a great job turning this property around. The service is top notch, and you get the sense the staff really cares. We will be back again!

While this is not my favorite property in San Diego, it's very nice.

Madelyn F. Atis Association Planner
Destination Hotels and Resorts has done a great job of taking over this very special San Diego area property. The guest room soft goods renovation is so drastic it is almost hard to believe it is the same place! The lobby and the guest room baths still need a facelift, but even without that, my high-end clientele were very pleased with their experience. The conference services, A/V(Swank) and F&B staff were on the top of their game and accommodated our (MANY) special requests (even the last-minute ones!) with a smile. We will return to this property, no doubt. If you haven't been in the last year, you need to go and experience the new DHR Paradise Point!
Overall Rating: 4.4/5

I've planned and attended many meetings, and this hotel, by far, outshined any place I've been to. Everyone went above and beyond to make our stay incredible.
Tanya G. Corporate Planner
The hotel was amazing, and I would highly recommend it to anyone considering it for a company function. Their customer service was the best I have ever experienced.
Cathy G. Corporate Planner
It was a great experience! Beautiful room, wonderful staff and a gorgeous property. Whether for business or pleasure, Paradise Point is an excellent retreat.

I was here for the Elite Meetings Alliance and I cannot say enough about this property! Not only was it a beautiful property, comfortable accomodations, great views of Mission Bay, the staff is SO friendly and accomodating (I truly can't say that enough) and the spa staff provided me with a heavenly massage. I can't wait to be able to go to (or have) another meeting here.
