We stayed here a few years ago with the kids and loved it! We had a place right on the sand and loved every minute of it. The beach looks out to the bay. The view was awesome. The pool area was just as nice, with a full bar and lunch menu. Very close to Sea World makes this place the ideal summer vacation spot.

If you want to get away from the world for a little while, I choose Spa Terre at Paradise Point in San Diego, California. As soon as you pull into Vacation Road, they create a tropical atmosphere with the flowers and trees. Past the first stop sign, there is parking to the left, and the entrance to the spa is through the pool area.

As you enter the building there is a well-equipped gym in the room next door to the spa reception. You check in, and then are shown the waiting room and women's or men's facilities. In the locker area, you'll find slippers and a robe to change into, as well as a wet sauna, and a well-stocked bathroom--just in case you forgot to shave or bring your toiletries with you.

I was impressed with the decor and size of the treatment rooms. The couples' massage room that I saw is a large hut-like room separated from the main building.

Each massage therapist are excellent in whatever treatment you choose. I have been delighted with their services, and have bought gift certificates for friends.
