Smack dab in the middle of Mission Bay, this hotel complex is almost as much a theme park as its closest neighbor, SeaWorld (a 3-min. drive). Single-story accommodations are spread across 44 tropically landscaped acres of duck-filled lagoons, lush gardens, and swim-friendly beaches; all have private lanais and plenty of thoughtful conveniences. Standard "lanai" rooms range considerably in price, based solely on view. The resort was updated to keep its low-tech 1960s charm but to lose tacky holdovers -- rooms now have a refreshingly colorful beach cottage decor. And despite daunting high-season rack rates, you can usually get a deal here. There's an upscale waterfront restaurant, Baleen (fine dining in a contemporary, fun space), and a stunning Indonesian-inspired spa that offers cool serenity and aroma-tinged Asian treatments -- this spa is a vacation in itself.
wherever it appears.
