Fodor's "The on-site Islands Sushi & PuPu Bar offers dinner and happy hour specials"
Lonely Planet "Here, guests nest happily in lounge chairs under the sun (which always shines in San Diego, in case you were wondering), and a large whirlpool spa ('therapy pool') sits off to the side"
Gayot "Dining options range from California casual at The Islands Restaurant to sports bar fare at The Islands Sushi and PuPu Bar"
Frommer's "Suites are double in size, and executive club level rooms include free continental breakfast in a private lounge"
