A luxurious island escape awaits at the Kona Kai Resort & Spa, hidden in the center of beautiful San Diego. Laze the day away by the sparkling pool overlooking the bay, while savoring fresh local food from Vessel Restaurant or sipping tropical cocktails from the Tiki Bar. For the ultimate daycation experience, book a private cabana at the adults-only Paloma pool or family-friendly Tiki pool. End the day watching the SoCal sunset from the private beach. A day spent at Kona Kai Resort & Spa is a perfect paradise.

Kona Kai Resort & Spa

My friends and I had a relaxing and fun staycation day with a rented cabana for my birthday. It was a little confusing finding where to check in for the pool, but once we located the right place everything was smooth sailing. We were greeted with a snack basket with beautiful artisan chocolates, other candies, and some chips, as well as water and a few non alcoholic beverages. We were told that since we were the only ones renting a cabana that day we could spread out and use the one next to us too. There was a tv in our cabana so the guys could watch NFL football since it was a Sunday. The bartender was incredibly generous. I brought a mag of Champagne since I work in wine and they let me keep it behind the bar, I only had to pay (very reasonable) corkage. The pool was heated and we were blessed with nice November weather. My friends loved the idea and had a blast!

Relaxing, fun staycation for birthday 

Everything was amazing from check in to check out. The staff at the Kona Kai made everything so wonderful and special. The staff that checked us in made sure to check in on us during the day and made sure that we had everything we needed. The adult only pool was private and wonderful with a bar right there and the ability to order food and drinks from our cabana. The locker rooms were also a nice amenity as well. 

Birthday Bass Bliss

Booked a Monday tiki cabana for a few friends and my husband and I after a morning courthouse wedding. Facilities were clean, bright, and spacious. Service was friendly and accommodating and we spent the day swimming, lounging in the cabana and hot tub, and napping on day beds around the pool and private beach. Amazingly relaxing and a great way to celebrate with friends! Cabana was well equipped with snacks and a cooler full of lemon water (dragonfruit was my favorite) and water. Waiter service for all patrons around the pool - maitais are strong and the Kona burger was delicious! Thank you for a memorable day!

Amazing relaxation

Such a nice way to celebrate a birthday!  Lovely setting with great drinks from the bar and delicious food brought to us poolside from the hotel restaurant.  

Wonderful Relaxing Day!

We picked an October Sunday to have a family day at the pool. It wasn't too crowded, so we had our pick of cabanas. Sunday Football on TV, sun, chaises, and lunch by the pool while the kids could swim. There are also some lovely marina and Point Loma views. The food was great, and service was helpful. A fun family day!

A Great "Locals' Summer" Staycation

Beautiful location

The Tiki Pool is wonderful for spending a relaxing day alone or with friends. Everyone at this resort is very friendly and super helpful. 

Fantastic in every way!

My friend and I had Flying for 24 hours without sleep, And we just needed a place to rest and shower… The resort pass was perfect because we slept in their canopies with the comfy couches and shower to the gym and ate at the restaurant… It was perfect. Nice staff very accommodating and very easy check in.
