Hyatt Regency Mission Bay Spa & Marina
Video Tour by @jamie.travel.tips: I stayed here expecting a standard hotel and found a total vacation hack. We skipped the zoo because the waterslides were that good. Between the marina views and free kayaking, I felt like a genius for booking this. It’s affordable luxury that actually feels luxurious.
Why People Love It
- Three heated pools with three water slides (rare for the area)
- Direct marina access for whale watching and jet ski rentals
- Unobstructed views of SeaWorld fireworks from many rooms
