A Weekend, Not Just a Party
A bar or bat mitzvah brings family in from all over. San Diego International Airport is five miles away, about 15 minutes, and with 357 guest rooms your relatives can stay where the celebration is. Between services and the party, guests can relax on our white sand beach, take out water sport rentals, bicycle the bay paths, play tennis or pickleball, or spend an afternoon at Spa Brezza. Cousins who have not seen each other in years get a weekend together, not just an evening.
