Kona Kai Resort - A 4 Star Resort In San Diego California


Located on Shelter Island, the Kona Kai resort has both marina view rooms and bay view rooms.  The hotel lobby was welcoming and tropical.   Our room located on the 2nd floor which only was accessed by stairs was really nicely updated.  It had a very large balcony overlooking the pool and marina.  The rooms were nice and clean and had everything we needed.

We spent the first afternoon at the pool.  Being late September it wasn't too busy at the pool and it was a particularly hot weekend.  We had our choice of lounge chairs and the cabanas were open if we wanted to escape the sun.  An outdoor bar piped music while serving poolside drinks and food.

Activities at the Hotel:  Besides swimming the Kona Kai has its own private beach area with fire pits and Adirondack chairs.  Access to bike rentals, paddle boards, and kayaks was right outside on the path.  A walk along the Bayside walking path was nice overlooking the city and military base as well as the occasional cruise ship.   The location of the hotel was close to everything and right near the airport.

We'd definitely stay at the Kona Kai Resort if given another opportunity.  Looks like the Spa got on the Conde' Nast 10 Best List for 2018!
