I took my two sons for a quick getaway. They loved the pool, game room, and slides. Everyone was friendly and the staff were very nice. There are not a lot of food options on the resort, so come prepared to stock up your fridge or to go out for most of your meals. Fortunately, there are great food options in Escondido.
