OFF Topic: Looking For San Diego Family Resort
All Incusive or resort for myself, wife and two TEENAGERS (16 YO). The vacation is geared for the kids and not us since we just got back from St. Thomas. We are looking in the San Diego area. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Guess I am thinking like my 16 year old days.
My dad could've stuck me in a motel 6 with a girlie mag and I woulda had the best vacation ever......or a Cosmo.....or a newspaper with women in it.....or just a piece of paper with the word woman on it.
Man those 16 year old hormones are just ragin.
Lots and lots of nice stuff around that area Roland. Someone should be able to hook you and the guys up.

Thanks Jim,
I'm confined to the USA (St. John and St. Thomas not interested) since one of the teenagers can't get a passport in time for our April Vacation...No Naturilization (SP) papers. Anyways, thinking of the west coast so I thought San Diego........
It's difficult to find a family resort with suites geared towards kids in the USA where it is warm......

I’ve enjoyed many pleasant stays at the Hotel Del Coronado as a teen, and more recently as a father.
It’s a wonderful destination, even for the locals. www.hoteldel.com

You can always go north to L.A. The usual spots may interest them. Try Knotts Berry Farm in addition to Disneyland. You may even venture further north to Magic Mountian. Just suggestions....

we go every year to San Diego, Hotel del is the best place to stay IMO. Just make sure you stay in a suite room and tell them you want to stay only in the "new" building.
Victorian building looks nice but its very old.

There aren't really any of those types of resorts here. Well, there is one, but is is cheesy.
Hotel Del is very nice, as is the surrounding area. it is kind of an Island (not really), so it has some exclusivity and "resort" feel to it.
Other places to consider are Del Mar, La Costa, or even one of the new luxury hotels that have just been built in downtown San Diego.
Depending on your planned activities, I'd rent a car and just chill!!
Stay as far from L.A. AND Mexico as possible

Thanks for all of the great ideas
I had forgotten that I visited the Hotel Del in 2000... I was very impressed when I visited on a daytrip. Need to get a suite so we can have privacy from the boys. Thanks again for the ideas and keep um coming.
Jangy, if I visit I will hook up with you. Hey James from Creative, I would love to check out your shop.
I love this community.........Thanks everyone.........

HAHA!!!! That would be worth the trip!!! I haven't seen so many ragged out bimmers and audis in my life!!
Take heed on the room at the Del. It is literally in the same "condition" that it was 60 years ago. Some people do end up spending a pretty penny and then get really upset in the room. I like the old building, but only certain rooms. Ask to look at the room before you take it and all is good.
I'll even come pick you up and take you over to Creative if you are serious about it. I could use a laugh these days.

if budget is not too much of a concern, there's always the Four Seasons Aviara in Carlsbad. i got married there and it's a beautiful resort. just a few miles from the beach, and also has some great golfing. the only thing is that it's north of central san diego so things like the zoo and sea world are going to be far, but i don't even think your teens want to do the traditional sightseeing stuff anyway.
just depends on what you like to do on vacation really. some people like to lounge around and do nothing (that's me) and some people like to get out there and look at all the stuff they can cram into their schedule...

I stayed at the Del once I was unimpressed. However, since you have kids with you it should do just fine.
