Mission Pacific Hotel, part of JdV by Hyatt

Oceanside

The nearest airport is McClellan-Palomar Airport, 12 km from the resort.

Feel the spirited energy of Oceanside at the #1 Hotel in San Diego voted by Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ in 2022 when you escape to Mission Pacific Hotel. Taste true culinary craftsmanship dining at Chef Roberto Alcocer’s homage to Baja: Valle, featured in CA’s MICHELIN Guide; mingle and dance at The Rooftop Bar’s lively sky bar deck and pool; sip slow at High/Low’s beachfront café and step back in time when you visit the historic Top Gun House: home of the famous HIGH-pie. A coastal mecca for the creatives, the doers, the romantics and the sun chasers is one stay away. One of my favourite in Ca! Amazing!! Modern clean with a fantastic style! The roof bar the swiming pool, jacuzzi as the room, everything was perfect!

Thunder Valley Casino Resort

Lincoln

Set in Lincoln in the California Region, 33 km from Sacramento, Thunder Valley Casino Resort boasts a seasonal outdoor pool and spa centre. There are restaurants and bars readily available and guests can have fun at the casino. I am not sure what I expected but it turned out to be a high end casino and resort. Very clean and looked new despite being open for almost 20 years. The steakhouse was phenomenal. We will be back!

Calamigos Guest Ranch and Beach Club

Malibu

Each air-conditioned room at this resort offers free WiFi and a flat-screen TV. Certain units include a seating area for your convenience. A balcony or patio are featured in certain rooms. Rooms are equipped with a private bathroom. For your comfort, you will find bathrobes, slippers and free toiletries. I wish we could have stayed longer. This was a great stay. Very welcoming staff, great atmosphere - we totally loved the SPA Pool (it's quieter) and the Food and the Ranch Club (I had the Prime Filet 12oz and it was AMAZING! one of the best steaks I've ever had!) - other than that the rooms were super cozy. And the best: If Malibu Beach is foggy there is a high chance that the Ranch is sunny.
