Best Western PLUS Island Palms Hotel & Marina

This place is a great value for a marina view room. We did take advantage of the pool, but unfortunately the Jacuzzi was kind of slimy. We also used the Pickleball court, which was awesome. You are pretty far walking distance from anywhere, so it’s a bummer they don’t have some sort of coffee available in the room. The beds are a little uncomfortable, but the pillows are terrible. Like I mean, bring your own pillow terrible. On the good side, all of the staff were super friendly. They do have an on-site bar and restaurant which is pretty good if you’re too lazy to go to town. The sort of tropical landscape environment is well-maintained.

Fabulous! Love it there!!!

This hotel is on Shelter Island, a perfect place near the airport and downtown, but away from the busy streets and noise of the city. A lovely park alongside the bay is across the street, with a small playground for small children. One side of the hotel faces the marina, while the other side faces San Diego bay. Second floor rooms have the best views!

Great location on the bay.

Location, location, location. This property is so well kept and the grounds are beautiful; awakened to the scent of the night blooming jasmine. The grounds surpass all expectations. Directly on the marina. Friday offered a Farmer's Market on the property and Saturday offered a Crab Boil. Love the activities. Housekeeping staff is always friendly and accommodating. My favorites are the front desk staff, Clinton and Alex. I have stayed her dozens of times over the past seven years and these two both stand out. Exceptional service, always recognize, greet and welcome me. It makes all the difference to me and my family.
