The Dana on Mission Bay is a 3-star hotel located five miles from San Diego International Airport, with no shuttle service provided. This waterfront resort sits on 10 acres of tropical landscaping along Mission Bay, adjacent to Mission Bay Aquatic Park and near SeaWorld San Diego, which is 1.2 miles away.
Bay View Accommodations
The Dana offers Bay View suites with one king or two queen beds, separate living areas, and private balconies overlooking Mission Bay. Marina Cove rooms feature tropical courtyard views, while accessible rooms include roll-in showers and widened doorways. The 8.3/10-rated hotel also provides deluxe rooms with wet bars, microwaves, and refrigerators.
Waterfront Dining Options
Firefly Eatery & Bar serves American cuisine using seasonal ingredients from the hotel's garden, with marina views from its outdoor patio. The restaurant offers an everyday breakfast buffet with made-to-order omelets and a three-course dinner menu. Poolside dining is available at the seasonal Tropical Pool Bar serving cocktails and local craft beers.
Pool & Water Activities
Two heated pools include the Bayside infinity pool with marina views and the Tropical Pool surrounded by lush landscaping. Adventure Water Sports offers on-site rentals of wave runners, kayaks, and bicycles for exploring Mission Bay's 27 miles of shoreline. Evening activities include dive-in movies at the pool and lawn games like giant Connect-4.
Marina & Event Facilities
The Dana Marina accommodates boats from 20 to 70 feet with 140 slips available for monthly rental. Meeting spaces feature 22-foot ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the bay, suitable for events up to 200 guests. Electric vehicle charging stations and a 24-hour lobby pantry with grab-and-go items are available on-site.
“What I find most appealing is the tropical landscaping that cultivates a serene environment. The location is superb for accessing Mission Bay, while the absence of resort fees adds considerable value. I also appreciate the thoughtful touches for canine guests, making it a standout choice for pet owners.”
