Loved it!
Beautiful hotel! I didn't realize there was lake in San Marcos but we really enjoyed our view/stay. We came down from NorCal for the CSUSM orientation and ate at the local restaurant which was DELISH. Would absolutely stay here again!

Great Hotel
Hotel was clean and comfortable; we loved the fire pits at night. The view was beautiful, and my kids loved the kayaks. The area is nice with lots to do, very close to Legoland and not a bad drive to the San Diego Zoo. We would definitely stay again.

Such a nice find. Clean “boutique” feel resort. It was off the beaten path so it wasn’t so crowded yet the coast was only a 25 minute drive. The staff was very friendly, the lobby was recently renovated and the room was extremely comfortable.

Great Girls Getaway Place!
Love staying at this place. Met girlfriends and hung out by the pool. Pool water was cold but towels, chairs, umbrellas were great. Had a great lake front room, excellent dinner and wine at Amalfi. Loved sitting in our adirondack chairs and looking at the evening lights reflecting on the lake. A little weird in the morning that a guest from another room came and sat on our patio in our chair - and also a staff guy walked by our patio a few times with chairs while we were still in our jammies. Had another delicious meal at breakfast at the golf patio while we watched our fav football teams play Sunday morning. All in all, a really lovely place. Will definitely be back!

Mostly great, some room for improvement
Pros:
Cute little lake area. Great for couples and families.
Food and service at Amalfi was amazing.
Jake at the front desk was very friendly and willing to help.
Dog friendly.
The live music was fun and entertaining.
Great that water sports are onsite and somewhat included. They are very strict on giving you your “included” daily activities and try to charge instead.
Fire pits and smores galore - love!
Cons:
Lake water is entirely brown.
Residents on the lake have hateful flags up, seems like pretty politically charged and angry residents here.
It’s a man made lake in the middle of a bustling city, it’s not exactly a wilderness getaway.
We were totally upsold on paying an extra $400 for a lakefront cabin. We weren’t told it was HA…my boyfriend literally couldn’t fit under the shower. The room smelled like must so we called asking for more candles which helped.
Went to shower at night and found out the hot water wasn’t working. Maintenance spent the entire next day on our patio with tools and equipment everywhere replacing the water heater and we were now offered another room.
The carpeting in the bedroom smelled like pee and the bedroom door was completely off track.
In a nutshell - don’t get upsold, don’t be surprised by the pure brown water and residents on the lake, bring some febreeze and your patience :)
