"03-Jan-2026 As San Diego locals we really enjoyed our end-of-year staycation at the Gaylord Pacific. Despite rain during our two day visit, we felt the staff did their best to accommodate us as much as possible. We rented a cabana near the pool for New Year’s Eve and Zakiya provided phenomenal service to our family of 6, which includes our four young sons. Every amenity remained open and available during our visit, and despite restricted hours we think it was a great stay. You can purchase a day pass for $12.50 if you want to literally “test the waters” before you book a stay here. Cabanas are $50 during the week and $100 on the weekend. We visited Dec 30, 2025 through January 1, 2026 and we think an area of opportunity is for the Gaylord Pacific to have some type of New Year’s Eve celebration for the hotel guests. Perhaps a bottle of Martinelli’s with a few plastic glasses would be a nice gesture. Although this is their first official year being opened we feel they seriously lacked in this area. There was absolutely nothing to recognize the new year. We suggest perhaps a toast or even a countdown. We went to the main lobby to watch NYE celebrations on the screen, but other than that there was nothing to recognize the new year. If there was one we were not made aware, so in time we expect there will be something. As for other amenities, we did not use the workout room, but we did enjoy the 24 hr arcade late night with our boys. Overall, we give our stay a 10:10."
