Best Western Island Palms Hotel & Marina

Location. Shelter Island provides an alluring setting for the Best Western Island Palms Hotel. Encircled by San Diego Bay and fronted by a 180-boat private marina, this California property is 12 miles from San Diego and seven miles from Old Town, SeaWorld and Mission Beach. San Diego International Airport is three miles from the hotel.
Hotel Features. A waterfall spills into a stone-bordered pool that stands adjacent to graceful statuary in the hotel lobby. Tiki torches glow at dusk, creating ambience more akin to the South Seas than San Diego. Due to a recent acquisition, this property offers the island-style architecture of Island Palms or the Mediterranean-style alabaster walls, red tile roofs and archways of Casa del Mar's guestrooms and suites. Hotel amenities include complimentary shuttle service to and from San Diego International Airport and the Amtrak station. Guests can dine on fresh seafood and coastal cuisine while enjoying spectacular vistas at the Blue Wave Bar & Grill. Terrace seating is available for breakfast, lunch and dinner. La Palapa, open seasonally, offers poolside beverages and lighter fare. A secluded outdoor pool and spa tub provide views of the lively marina, and guest may use the on-site fitness room.

Guestrooms. This two-story property faces the marina and features 174 guestrooms with coffeemakers, cable television and refrigerators. Windows open to admit fresh, sea breezes.

Expert Tip. Across the street from the hotel is an idyllic picnic spot, with barbecue grills, benches and exquisite views of San Diego Bay and the city skyline.
