“WAMO pool tournament”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed March 7, 2013

I am currently in a chula vista junior suite and it is not ANY bigger than a regular room at the Atlantis. Iam very disapointed on how much it cost for a room that I do not feel is a junior suite at all its a small room. Front desk is crappy called for towels and still a hour or longer has gone buy and still no towels after the phone rang for like 2 mins then someone finally picked up. VERY DISAPOINTED would nor stay again unless some accomodations were met.

“Worst experience ever!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed March 5, 2013

Stayed in the Jr. Queen Suite on the ground floor- FILTHY- NOISY all night long!!!. Cobwebs the size of Texas on draperies. Dusty, had to clean room myself in order to stay there. Yes I complained. Basically they didn't care to hear it. Hot Springs "broken". Paid for 2 nights, Only stayed 1. This trip SUCKED & I doubt I would ever return!

“dont stay here..choose another resort in area!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed March 5, 2013

some friends and my husband and i just stayed here this past sunday night for our first stay. we've always stayed in other resorts in the area, but decided to try chula vista this time around.
it was one problem after another. from key cards not working (twice) to cold indoor water park (air AND water temperature; we froze! couldnt even enjoy being in the water, we would have to run back to our chairs to quickly dry off because it was so cold!) to NO COFFEE at the starbucks IN the hotel (how is that possible!? but their coffee maker was broke. imagine that!) to the hotel manager being cold and uncaring and unhelpful. she couldnt care less about resolving our issues or even offering discounts for meals or anything of the sort. no fresh towes at all inside water park, you have to exit to go back to the front desk to get fresh towels. womens locker room small and crowded. no room to change if more than 10 people in there at same time. outoor hot tub was broken and closed.
nothing fancy at this resort at all. do not stay here..choose wisely....stay at great wolf lodge or kalahari or wilderness INSTEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Room Tip: just dont stay here...so thats my tip

“Great place to stay!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 4, 2013

This was our second trip to Chula Vista and it was even better than the last time. The staff was warm and friendly. Loved our room! It was perfect for a family. The only reason it is 4 stars instead of five is the long walk we had to the water park and shopping.

Room Tip: Rooms with a river view are great, and the condos are great for a family of 8

“Love Chula Vista”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 28, 2013

Travelling here for a conference for work. The rooms were neat and clean, everyone was friendly and problems were resolved in a quick manner. I arrived late in the evening, after all food service had stopped at the resort. I was STARVING! - when inquiring at the front desk about some food, I was provided with several take out menus from local places that delivered right to my room. I got my food and a good nights sleep. The next morning I woke up and was brushing my teeth. I started hearing water hitting carpet...my sink was leaking, not bad, but enough. I stopped by the front desk to let them know what happened. the leak was fixed before I got back to my room from lunch. These are problems that can happen to anyone, anywhere - the way they are handled - with apology, courtesy and speed are what make the difference in an enjoyable stay and a lousy one. I came for business, but will go back for pleasure! (Can't wait to try the waterpark!)

Room Tip: Balcony rooms are the best!
