Where to Eat

There is no restaurant on-site. However, the hotel offers an all-American breakfast buffet every day that comes with an extra surcharge. Scrambled eggs, pastries and coffee are among some of the food items available. Complimentary freshly baked cookies, fruits and coffee are served every day in the lobby.

Drinks and light snacks are served by the pool.

The hotel ties in with several nearby restaurants to offer room charge back service. This means that guests can dine at the restaurants and charge the meal back to their rooms. Alternatively, call for room service between 11am and 10pm to enjoy delicious offerings from local restaurants in the comfort of the guestroom or anywhere in the hotel.

The Spa

A range of massage services are available from 9am to 7pm where guests can relax and revitalize their body and minds while enjoying the ocean waves and sea breeze. Some of the treatments include Swedish massage, reflexology and aromatherapy. This service is only available by appointment and could take place in the privacy of the guestroom, poolside or in the hotel’s massage room. Guests could either arrange with the concierge or book a timeslot when making hotel reservation.

There is also a 24-hour fitness center for guests to keep in shape while vacationing by the seaside. Access to the center is already inclusive within the resort fees. Take advantage of their state-of-the-art exercise equipment such as Sports Art Treadmill, Total Body Elliptical and recumbent bicycle.

Weddings & Conferences

While the Pacific Terrace Hotel does not have venues for holding weddings, it is able to cater rooms and facilities for honeymoon and wedding guestroom needs. The Master Suite is located on the third floor and offers some of the best views of the Pacific Ocean. There are two oceanfront balconies where guests can sit down and fall asleep to the ocean breeze and sounds of the sea. With more than 70 guestrooms, the hotel is also able to make accommodation arrangements for wedding guests as they enjoy on-site pool and hot tub facilities with stunning sea views or saunter their way down the white sandy beach from the hotel.

The establishment has two rooms available for small meetings and conferences. The larger room is the Cayman Room, which is 900 square feet and would be able to fit around 16 people. It comes with an attached restroom and kitchenette, as well as modern amenities including a large mahogany conference table, a 52 inch flat screen TV, speakerphone, audio-visual equipment and high speed Internet. These features ensure that your meeting can be conducted professionally and smoothly without a hitch. The smaller Bali Boardroom sits up to seven people and is furnished with similar amenities.

Family Services

The daily resort fee includes rental of bicycles, beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards and sand toys, perfect for families looking to spend a day out by the seaside. Enjoy the warm sunshine, white beaches and gentle breeze at Pacific Beach, which is easily one of the best beaches in the area.

The concrete boardwalk right in front of the hotel is great for cyclists and joggers. Parents looking for indoor options could also request for kids DVD and board games from the front desk.

Do check the room key envelope for several coupons, including ticket discounts to nearby attractions, massage services and a free picture by the beach to commemorate the beautiful memories at the establishment.

The hotel is equipped with an ocean front outdoor heated pool and hot tub that are open from 8am to 10pm. Imagine sipping on a glass of wine in the pool while smelling the sea breeze and listening to the waves. Poolside service is available throughout the day, offering drinks and light snacks. Happy hour by the pool is during evening time, which is the best time to enjoy gorgeous sunset views. All guests also receive a buy-one-get-one free poolside drink coupon inside the room key envelope.

Every night, hotel staff will light the fire pit tables near also the poolside to create a warm seating area for lounging. Family and friends can gather around the fireside to roast s’mores, a service that is available daily.

Plan This Vacation

Families will also appreciate that the hotel is located less than 20 minutes away from the city’s major attractions such as SeaWorld and San Diego Zoo. Another fun way to spend the day would be at Belmont Park, which is a short 10 minute drive or 40 minute walk from the hotel. The long-time oceanfront amusement park opened its doors in 1925 and continues to provide entertainment for adults and kids alike. A must-try is the Giant Dipper Roller Coaster that has been around from the very beginning and remains as one of the most popular rides in the theme park. Additionally, there is a rock wall, arcade and zipline among other activities available.

Close to the hotel is the historic Crystal Pier built in 1927. It is located just three blocks away, which makes it an ideal location to take a relaxing morning or evening stroll to. When at the pier, check out Kono’s Café, a popular breakfast and lunch spot for locals and tourists. It is unsurprising to find a long line of people outside the shop waiting for a bite of the café’s hearty portions that come at affordable prices. When paired together with the priceless beach view of one of San Diego’s best surf spots, this is perhaps why it has been a popular attraction since 1991. Get Rates
