We had a great time. Our room was on the very far park end which wasn't ideal. I would have loved to look out toward the bay. The room itself was big and spacious. It was very noisy every morning when the trash company came to collect the garbage right outside our window. Minor little inconvenience, but didn't ruin our overall experience. We would come back, just will be more conscious of the room location.

Should not be a VIP property

The first time I stayed at this hotel, I received a room upgrade and a couple free drinks as I am Platinum on Expedia. This time I didn’t receive a single thing. I’ll look for other hotels next trip.

Great hotel. The only reason we didn’t give 5 stars was the shower wasn’t amazing. Other than that it was great location, great pool, great restaurant. The reception folk are nice enough but wouldn’t go above and beyond, they’ll do their job and that’s enough. Laundry facility is card/app operated and WILL work for British bank cards despite the reception advice - you need to turn on Bluetooth so you phone will talk to the app on your phone. We helped several others make it work. San Diego was awesome!

I loved staying at this resort. The charm at Dana is unmatched. I could stay a full month here and not get bored. Every member of staff we encountered were kind and knowledgeable. The resort was secluded and calm. It’s the perfect place to clear your mind and relax.

Very quaint property, beautiful harbor and a great little restaurant in firefly, obviously families are welcome here and there were a few younger children around and younger children tend to run around, squeal and jump in the pool a lot... if this doesn't bother you then not a concern but if it does its something to be aware of.

Check in process was not very pleasant. The clerk did not provide any information, was very vague and forgot to give us the VIP perk. Also, about an hour after our check in, a stranger walked into our room being given keys to the same room.

Nice stay

There is 5% fee associated when you eat out to make up for wage increases. That’s not really fair- especially with what they charge for rooms and food/beverages. Beds were okay. Service was slow in the firefly but food was good when it got to us. The bartender was great ( shaved head gentleman) and quick. Beware of park view rooms. The park is very busy/active with people outside your door till late in the night. Paid extra for park view- will skip that next time and pay for Bayview. Also- they no longer have buffet for purchase like the pictures suggest.

The rooms are very clean and well furnished. We rented beach chairs and an umbrella at the front desk. Cost is $20 for two chairs and an umbrella. Came in handy for our afternoon at the beach. We went to the onsite restaurant. The cocktails were very good. We ordered chips with salsa and guacamole. Chips were stale. The wings were good and the pretzel was pretty good. I’d return for another stay. We could see the Seaworld fireworks show from our room. I’d return to this property for another stay!
