Polynesian-inspired character flows throughout, from comfy guestrooms to the friendly parrots (give our regards to Chadwick).

Nestled on a 44-acre island, this relaxing bayfront retreat features five sparkling pools, beach bonfire pits and an award-winning spa.

In the thick of PB’s laid-back but action-packed scene.

Champ location across from the racetrack and fairgrounds, on the border of Solana Beach and Del Mar.

On its own private peninsula, just a 10 minute drive to charming downtown Coronado.

Sophisticated and sleek but still soft and comfy.

Grand white building is a beaut in the midst of already-lovely downtown La Jolla.

Landmark 1908 mansion (+ annex), as in-the-heart as it gets. Just a block from the beach, shops and dining options galore.

Scope out the beach from the heated pool, then explore it up close (it’s only a few steps away).

Airy, modern coastal vibe prevails – think natural wood, rattan, pattern tiles and greenery galore.

Primping, preening, and pampering to the max with onsite spa services.

Bring your furry friends along for the ride. This place is pet friendly.

Lush atrium and garden grounds feel like a side trip to the tropics.

Hotel pool is prime for relaxation or exercise.

Live it up, La Jolla style, with room service and in-room spa treatments.

Perched right on the world-renowned oceanfront Torrey Pines Golf Course. So the views are not. Too. Shabby.

Fancy a dip? Pop into the hotel pool.

A landmark hotel built in 1913, architectural highlights include sculpted marble, hand-cut mosaic tiles and brass embellishments.

Hotel pool hits the spot when you need to cool off or swim it out.

Not one, but two outdoor pools and a hot tub help you make the most of the San Diego sun.

Hey hey, free breakfast every day.

Just off I-5 with easy access to downtown, the zoo and, of course, Shamu.

Iconic, intimate and romantic – and yes, it’s pink (they don’t call it “The Pink Lady” for nothin’).
