I had to have my son set up my new Toshiba as I was not familiar with Windows 8. He set me up to be able to email and play my games. He'll inform me on other things in time. My one problem, NOW, is while I am playing my games, it tells me that the Internet Explorer has stopped working. I don't know why and it does not tell me. I have updated when I'm told, so I don't know what else to do. Other than that, it is fast to use. AND the one feature I love is the button you can shut down the use of the mouse pad. Overall, I love my Toshiba!

I was long overdue to replace my Dell Dimension desktop and Dell Inspiron laptop. The desktop was running XP and the laptop was running Vista (worst OS ever). I use Adobe Photoshop to edit photos and it is a pretty demanding application. My old computers struggled with it but it runs great on the new Toshiba laptop. My web browsing, which had become frustratingly slow with IE 8 on the XP and Vista machines, is blazing fast on the new Toshiba laptop. Application startup times, boot time, and shutdown time, are also very fast. It is now a pleasant experience to work on the computer again. I really like the touch and feel of the keypad. Note: I have only used the Toshiba laptop on A/C power, so I don't know for sure if my battery life rating is accurate. Toshiba's web site says the laptop can be run on battery up to 12 hours, which if true seems excellent.

This computer is decent. So far there are only 2 things I don't like about it. Windows 8 and opening the laptop lid when the computer is on your lap. Windows 8 may be a decent operating system but its not for me. It took some work but windows 7 can be put on this computer for the people who love that OS. The laptop lid can pinch your skin if you open it on your lap the wrong way. Other than that the laptop is the best I've had. The HD cam isn't as good as thought.

I liked the last Toshiba Laptop that I purchased. It was so durable and lasted so long that I gave it to my brother when his computer broke so that I could get a new computer. Even though my previous computer was getting older, it still had no problem running newer programs. I anticipate from my limited use of the new laptop that it will perform in a manner consistent with the one I had previously. My only complaint is that this this laptop didn't come with a drive capable of playing blu-ray, still that wasn't a deal breaker for me as I have assets with that capability attacked to my television. Overall, I consider this computer a good investment.

Great laptop! Setup is very easy. Screen resolution is sharp and very clear. The computer is very fast. I love the blue metalic outer cover it is very pretty, and doesn't leave fingerprints like my old HP did. This computer screen size is just right, not too big or too small. Big enough to watch a movie comfortably or play video games, but still small enough to take with you when travelling. Very comfortable keyboard that you can actually type on and not have to use two fingers. The touch pad is very responsive and I really like the swipe feature for scrolling left or right! GREAT extended battery life too! I'm very pleased with this laptop!

I purchased this model for the i7 processor. I am glad to say that I am very pleased with the processing speed of the laptop. It handles the video editing software program Lightworks by Editshare without lagging when processing the h.264 files, my previous computer could not handle this. OK, a couple of dislikes 1. The keys are a bit too fragile. 2. The memory card slot only accepts SD cards, would rather have it capable of accepting micro sd, xd, etc type of cards as well. 3. The battery life on my laptop is not as long as I hoped for, have to recharge it far too often. 4. There is too much Toshiba generated software pre-loaded on the computer. 5. Seems like the internal fan works overtime sometimes, might need better ventilation. Now for some Likes: 1. Processing Speed! 2. Descent Price for what you get. 3. Has a number keypad, which I use a lot! 4. Weight is OK. 5. Screen looks great. 6. Adequate sized storage on hard drive. 7, DVD/CD ROM plays great, with good speed.

The only thing I do not like is: Windows 8 operating system!!! NO Start Menu !!! This is REALLY Annoying! Thought Vista operating system was bad, But Windows 8 takes the cake! If I were in the market for another laptop or pc. Would make sure it is NOT Windows 8 ! Definitely make sure my next purchase would be Windows 7 ! But would definitely buy another Toshiba!

I'm a little disappointed with this computer. I'm not sure if it's because the computer is less than hoped for or if it's the awful Windows 8 operating system. I definitely do not like W-8. I also don't know wny Toshiba has to put so much not wanted or needed Apps on the computer. I have not found this computer to be as easy to configure the way I want it to be, but again. I'm not sure if it's the computer (I've no trouble with previous Toshibas) or that W-8. This computer replaced a Toshiba with W-7 which developed a major mechanical problem I wish I had replaced it with a W-7 equipped device.

But I was wrong the keyboard was horrible you have to press the keys extra hard for them to function. It may it real hard to type messages, papers etc but other then the keyboard the laptop was great for the price.

I have had this LT for 6 months now since I use to have a Satellite L25-S121 for 6 years & I must say, this new satellite is great. I mostly surf the web, listen to podcast/music, download media, play PC games (the integrated GPU can even handle most big budget games from 2-3 years ago) & other work like activities on this LT. The only downside on this LT was having to learn how to use Windows 8 (not fun). This is the Federer of Satellites.

Overall rating: 4 out of 5
Overall, a very good system for the price. The processor runs at 2.4 GHz with a turbo boost of speeds up to 3.4 GHz. This may be misleading for some and at times is not noticeable to the average user. The speed difference is employed to help prolong battery life and only deliver the 3.4 GHz performance when it is absolutely required. Compared to most laptops, it has an above average battery life but would not be considered exceptional. The system power up quickly, is lightweight, yet sturdy enough for the average user. The wireless connection is very versatile and easy to use. I love the keyboard. It has large keys and responds well . Additionally, has good volume for the sound system. Normally, in a work environment, can't hear anything off the laptops without a good speaker system or headset. This system, I actually have to turn the volume down. The only drawback I saw to the whole system was the Operating System that is Windows 8. The OS is designed for Touch Screen in mind and would not work well in a work (business) oriented environment.

I own another Toshiba Laptop and wanted to pass it along to my son. I had a i5 processor and decided to upgrade to a i7. I'm generally happy with the laptop with only a few nick picking exceptions. The cover/screen seems flimsier than my other laptop. The dvd tray is harder to open. I find it hard to find the latch button and once I do, it doesn't always work the first time or second time. I also find the built in camera lacking when using Skype although I believe most laptop camera lenses suffer using that software program. Those are my only complaints.

The only reason I don't give 5 stars on overall rating is due to a couple of things that I consider important. One is that the USB 3.0 ports are too close to each other and to the HDMI port, you'll need an USB hub to use them all at the same time. The other one is that the keyboard is not backlit, this is a most for me and I thought, for some reason, that it was. In the other hand, the screen is great, very clear and wide enough for any job. Watching movies via HDMI is very nice, good graphics and color, much better than with my previous laptop. The sound coming out of the speakers is loud and clear, very nice feature if you are watching something directly in the laptop or listening to music. Performance is very fast, I use a lot of photoshop and other programs that require a lot of ram and so far so good in this laptop. I am very happy with it.

Powerful Laptop, Terrible Operating System March 28, 2013
, Quakertown, PA
Overall rating: 4 out of 5
In the end, I love this laptop - but it took a lot of work to get it there. As far as hardware goes I think it is terrific for the price. The operating system, Windows 8, does not seem to fit for a laptop without a touchscreen. I think that I could have gotten used to it given time, but I found that my primary software would not function in Windows 8 even though it worked well in Windows 7. That is not necessarily a surprise. I expected there may be issues with a change in operating systems. What was a surprise was how I was prevented from dual booting Windows 7 alongside Windows 8 by the UEFI Bios and GPT type partitioning of the hard disk. I have had no experiences with either of these relatively new technologies to this point. I researched extensively on the internet for a solution that would allow me to dual boot Windows 7 without success. I ended up turning off the UEFI Bios, installing a new hard drive which I partitioned in a standard fashion without GPT. After that I installed Windows 7. I kept the original hard drive with Windows 8 on it in case I should stumble across a solution down the road, or until my software is upgraded to support Windows 8. So it was a little frustrating for a while, but in the end this thing is a powerhouse! I can't seem to throw enough at it to slow it down!

This is a good value laptop, but with any value system they are cost and benefit trade offs. The limiting factor for this laptop seems to be the SATA controler and hardrive performance. A SATA III controller with a Solid State Drive would bring the system to near perfection. This system came with Windows 8 OS. It would have been better with Windows 7 OS. Window 8 seems to be designed for systems with touch screens.

I am really enjoying the computer aside from the keyboard. The performance on this computer for the price, there is no better deal. The problem is the terrible keyboard. The amount of features on the computer are very good (usb 3.0, hdmi very good display) but the only reason I gave the computer 1 star in features is reflective of the keyboard and to a lesser extent the speakers.The sound is not great on the speakers, but this is not important to me because I always use headphones.The keyboard actually hinders the function of the computer for me. The keyboard is of extremely cheap quality. There are keys that you must press much harder on in order for them to work. It is just a very terrible feel and detracts from my efficiency.

I like Toshiba, I have had another Toshiba laptop for several years now with no problems except a bad battery. My problem is not as much with Toshiba as it is with trying to learn the new operating system (not fond of windows 8 at this time). It has made it difficult to locate my wireless printer, router, you name it. My only comment on the laptop is that I continue to get an error message that "my computer has encountered a serious problem and needed to reboot". This happens about every other time I power up. Additionally, I sorely miss the Hibernate option!!

The review title really says it all. I've owned this computer 3 days and the touchpad has not worked right from the get go. It is irratic, it freezes up, it zooms in when it's supposed to be scrolling. It scrolls side to side when I want up and down and at times the cursor just dissappears and of course it's intermittent. - Otherwise it works great with a USB mouse, but that's not what I paid for. I normally have a high opinion of Toshiba products which is why I bought this one, but their use of the Synaptics touchpad would seem to be a mistake. The forums are loaded with complaints about the Synaptics product in most laptop manufacturers and not one solid solution that I can find.

Windows 8 destroys the value February 25, 2013
, Topeka, KS
Overall rating: 3 out of 5
Toshiba has produced a potentially excellent computer. With Windows 8 installed, however, the value is destroyed. The desktop is cluttered and bewildering. Every application in the computer, including applications used only within other applications, is included. Finding the application one wants is time consuming when compared with the Windows 7 desktop, on which is included only the applications one chooses to include. Updates are difficult to install. The initial Windows updates refuse to configure. At least every other day, power-down or restart includes "install updates," and there is no way to bypass the process. It takes 28 minutes for the updates to install, configure, fail, and be reverted. This is unacceptable! Norton does a "cleanup" daily. One of the things it does is wipe all of my saved auto-logon data, making username and password entry necessary every day. I've tried to bypass this feature, but every effort has been thwarted. These items are but a few of the reasons why I can't recommend this computer to a friend, or even to an enemy. Unless one can be found with Windows 7 installed I highly recommend against its purchase.

I purchased this laptop because of the great feature/price combination. Once I got it home, I noticed two things about it that bother me to the point I am not sure I could recommend it to someone else. One is the touchpad. I am not particularly fond of the design of the touchpad. It feels cheaply made and not as responsive as I would like. The other concern is what appears to be a very fragile design of the laptop case. It has a brushed aluminum top that seems to be paper thin and is easily pushed in with little to no pressure and the side plastic moldings seem to be very fragile and similar to what is found on low quality toys. It may be some sort of high impact plastic, but I do not wish to test the theory. In summary, great features, good price, but feels like it can break at any moment.

This was a replacement for a Dell. The set-up process was adequate and intuitive at a basic level. Advanced features required excessive efforts to implement. The machine crashes at least one a week requiring a hard shutdown/restart. For the i7 CPU, it's just plain slow. The memory is adequate. The biggest issue is that this not a well integrated machine - it's slow and appears that is was designed for a Windows 7 OS. While Windows 8 is not a panacea, this PC appears to be more of an afterthought as opposed a well designed (or at least competently designed) PC. I just cannot think of a good target audience for this PC given it's design and performance.

As of purchasing it a little over a month ago, I have already had to send it in to Toshiba for repair under the warranty because the screen back light failed after 3 weeks of casual use. Other than potentially faulty parts, the laptop had been a reasonable buy for the price. The keyboard sometimes requires extra pressure on the keys for them to register and the touch pad lacks scrolling capability which was a slightly disorienting change from my previous computer. Overall, it seemed to be an alright product for the price, but technical failures have marred my experience.

Carefully consider your purchase. The screen is disproportionaly short ;e.g. your e-mail display will be severely cropped. The keyboard is slow; i.e., it fails to register "at speed" key strokes. You have to type at a highly reduced speed and hit the keys "FIRMLY" to get your input to register. Also, take a close look at the factory installed software; it is very limited. You get mostly toys and advertising software. No useful products are incuded for free. The keyboard arrangement is not user friendly e.g. the delete key has been moved to an awkward location and the touch pad is located too far left. The touch pad is also somewhat unpredictable, i.e., it gives poor pointer control.. Nothing is intuitive; read the "electronic only" user guide before you even think about putting the PC to use. Personally, a paper user guide woud be much more convenient. I used my previous Tohiba laptop for 9 years. I hope this one doesn't last as long because it just doesn't measure up to its predecessor.

I expected the performance, processor speed, etc, to be much better/faster, especially when moving from my 5 year old Windows XP computer with only a 2 gigabyte Ram to this Intel i7 processor with 8 gigabyte Ram.

Satellite Is an Epic Fail March 23, 2013

Overall rating: 2 out of 5
The usb ports do not fit most devices such as printer, mouse, ipod. Windows 8 is a giant phone app and should have never been put on a computer. If I had to do it all over again I would have purchased the HP Envy. The difference in icore5 and icore7 processors is not that significant. There is no computer manual and so its all trial and error. This was an EPIC FAIL!

Realtek RTL8723AE defective February 28, 2013

Overall rating: 2 out of 5
I feel that TOSHIBA put profit ahead of value/functionality with this model. I am very disappointed. The Realtek RTL8723AE WIFI NIC card is useless. The key board does not work well. You have to press down forcefully when typing compared to other models. Windows 8 is a joke. It appears to built for social networking. I swear by TOSHIBA products because of the 15+ year history of using laptops error free. Each TOSHIBA laptop that I purchased has had I life span of 5yrs or more. My kids get the hand me downs.

Detroit automaker, General Motors , and Chinese company, Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (SAIC), started working together a few years ago when GM began building a $250 million facility in China to develop alternative fuels. This loose partnership filled with many projects has provided GM with a lot of monetary benefits throughout these past few years and it seems the benefits will keep on rolling on as these two companies have started another project together. Their newest venture will be the co-developing of a few small engines and advanced transmissions.
The engines will range from 1.0 to 1.5-liter and they will use direct injection and turbocharging technology. They hope that these motors will produce decent power while returning great fuel economy. They will be used in front-wheel drive cars and will be connected to a dry dual-clutch automatic transmission that the two will also be working on.
The products will be developed here in the United States in Michigan and at the joint venture Pan Asia Technical Automotive Center in Shanghai. After development, the engines and transmission will be used in cars throughout the world.
"The GM-SAIC partnership is the most successful one in China's auto industry. There is a big chance that SAIC may take a stake in GM and bring their relationship to the next level," said Sheng Ye, associate research director at industry consultancy Ipsos' Greater China region to Rueters.

Amazing, Jaw Dropping Property
Jaw dropping is literally what happened from the second we drove up the drive-way. Then we all ran around the property saying, "OMG! Look at this! Look at this!" While we had viewed the pictures on-line many times, it is so much more stunning in person. It is a gorgeous property that is beautifully maintained both inside and out. The main house perfectly fit 3 couples and my mother very comfortably. The cabana house was ideal for my nephew and his wife and the guest house couldn't have worked out better for 7 children between the ages of 13-21! The newly added salt-water pool was thoroughly enjoyed and the dock worked out perfectly for feeding fish, catching fish and boating. Everything we needed and more was in the home. Both Kevin the owner and Joe the property manager were consistently responsive to questions, calls and any of our needs while we stayed in the home. If we are to stay in the Keys again we will certainly stay here or at any property they own and manage. It was a perfect way to spend Christmas vacation.

No, you don't win the big Mega Millions jackpot last night, unless you bought your ticket in Florida or Maryland. Two winners in those states will share a $400-million prize, the third-largest in Mega Millions history.
Eight players around the country won a million-dollars each by matching all the numbers but the Mega Ball. Nobody from Wisconsin did that, either. Game officials have not said how many Wisconsinites won smaller prizes last night.
In the previous drawing last Friday, almost 54,000 Badger State players claimed prizes of one-dollar to five-thousand.
Last night's numbers were 11, 19, 24, 33, and 51. The Mega Ball was seven, and the Megaplier was three. The jackpot returns to its minimum of $15-million for the next drawing on Friday. In Powerball, an $80-million jackpot is up for grabs tonight.

GREEN BAY, WI (WHBL) - The Green Bay Packers are 0-2 in the pre-season for the first time since 2008, after falling to the Cleveland Browns 35-10 Thursday night at Lambeau Field. The Packers recovered a fumble on the opening play when Charles Woodson stripped the ball from Cleveland's Montario Hardesty. The turnover resulted in a 20-yard touchdown pass from Aaron Rodgers to Jordy Nelson – and those turned out to be the highlights of the night for Green Bay, as they committed four turnovers later on. The Browns chipped away at the Packer first stringers with a pair of field goals by Phil Dawson. Then Cleveland took the lead for good at the start of the second quarter, when Hardesty ran it in from a yard out. Ex-Packer Brandon Jackson scored in the third quarter. Rodgers completed 6 of 11 passes for 59 yards and one T-D. Graham Harrell went 12 of 24 for 100 yards and two interceptions, including one to David Sims that resulted in a 38-yard touchdown. Packers' rookie B-J Coleman threw a pick for his only pass. With five running backs out, Rodgers and Harrell were Green Bay's leading rushers. Rodgers had the most with 24 yards. With Greg Jennings out, Jarrett Boykin was the Pack's leading receiver with five catches for 63 yards. Brandon Weeden played the first half for the Browns, and completed 12 of 20 passes for 118 yards. Afterward, Packers' coach Mike McCarthy was fuming about his team's four turnovers. Randall Cobb committed the other one when he fumbled the ball away. Rodgers said he got better protection from his offensive line. The Packers reported no injuries during the game. Their next exhibition is next Thursday night at Cincinnati.

A main break sent water rushing in an area along Hurricane Road Saturday night.
A Huntsville educator,
accused of molesting students, wants more freedom. Harvey Knotts faces 10
counts of sexual abuse.
Huntsville Police arrested
him in May of 2011.
Knotts wants flexibility on when
he's allowed to come and go. Right now he is under house arrest, must
report to a probation officer, and is wearing an ankle monitoring bracelet.
Knotts taught at McDonnell Elementary School in Huntsville.
Investigators said he
sexually abused seven of his students, all girls aging 9 - 10 years-old.
Knotts waived his right to
a preliminary hearing, opting to send his case straight to a Madison County Grand Jury. While he waits for that decision, Knotts wants larger amounts of
time away from his home.
The reason listed in
the court documents is for family obligations. The officer supervising Knott's wants the judge to clarify the bond and curfew restrictions.
Knotts has a status conference
to discuss this issue and other issues with this case. It's set for June 20th.

Oh yes, dear readers, it's that time again!
Okay, wait. Show of hands: How many of you actually like seeing what other people eat over the course of a day?
*shoots hand into the air*
I love when other bloggers do What I Ate posts. Surely I'm not the only one? (If you have a blog, you should totally do one. And then tell me about it so I can ogle your grub.)
(Heh, ogle your grub.)
One of the reasons why I do these posts is to squash the misconception that vegans live off of little more than lettuce and tofu. Another reason is that it gives me something to blog about. ;)
Oh She Glows' Blueberry Banana Pie Vegan Overnight Oats
This is a fantastic summertime breakfast, and it is by far the best of all the vegan overnight oats recipes I have tried. With chewy, perfectly sweetened oats, plump juicy blueberries (definitely get fresh berries for this), soft chunks of banana and a welcome buttery crunch from the omega-3-packed walnuts, it is thick and creamy and wonderful. I halved the recipe and divided it into two individual portions, and found that it was the perfect serving size for a substantial and energizing morning meal.
I'm definitely making this again for next week!
I had a half hour of free time yesterday between schoolwork and my morning workout, so I decided to whip up a double batch of my favorite Lemon-Tahini Dressing (at the bottom of this recipe) along with some garlic hummus. This time I used a combo of pinto and garbanzo beans, and the pintos seemed to make my standard hummus recipe even lighter and creamier than usual. When lunchtime rolled around, I used the hummus and dressing on a big ol' salad:
That salad kept me full for a good 6 hours! Before I knew it, it was 7pm. I had leftover Spicy Potato & Black Bean Burrito filling to use up, but I wanted to save that for tonight since I knew I'd be crunched for time this evening and need a quick dinner after E's evening basketball game. I had a lone vegan Chipotle Field Roast Sausage in the freezer and a bunch of Lacinato kale in the fridge, so that became yesterday's dinner:
I pan-fried the not-sausage in a little olive oil and ate it on a sprouted grain bun with Vegenaise, ketchup and lots of sweet relish. Man, it was good. I forgot how much I love those Field Roasts (the Smoked Apple Sage flave is another favorite).
I turned the kale into my usual spicy kale chips (see this post for a brief how-to).
Last weekend my awesome Mom (she's vegan, too!) made the Sweet Cherry Chocolate Chip Cake from Daily Garnish, and after I tasted it I immediately cut off another slice and hid it in the fridge for later consumption. Holy hell, is it ever delicious.
She said she used all whole-wheat pastry flour in place of the regular white and whole-wheat, and I could not believe how moist and rich this cake was- perfectly studded with chocolate chips, and every other bite was full of sweet, plump, juicy cherry goodness.
Paired with an ice-cold glass of vanilla almond milk, it was an awesome late-night snack. :)
That was yesterday's eats. Before I go, here is this week's menu!
For breakfasts I'm going to stick to my usual green smoothies (my go-to recipes are here, here and here), Cocoa Goji Granola with fruit and almond milk, the Strawberry Goji Muffins from last week, and I'm definitely going to make another half-batch of those Blueberry Banana Pie Vegan Overnight Oats!
For lunch salads I'm going to make the Creamy Curried Almond Dressing from LTEV (I still have curry on the brain after all that curried chickpea salad!).
- Chickpea Pumpkin Seed Burgers from LTEV. For one meal I'll have the burger on a sprouted grain bun with a side of kale chips, and for another meal I'll have the patty sans bun with a side of roasted broccolini and baked sweet potato rounds or fries. The recipe makes 5 or 6 burgers, so I'll freeze the rest for another week. :)
- Made these before and LOVED 'em: The PPK's Tofu Omelets! One night I'll have one stuffed with spinach and 'shrooms plus a side of roasted butternut squash (I cheated and bought a bag of frozen squash today- I miss it so!), another night I'm going to fill one with roasted broccolini with a side of smashed new potatoes (a recipe from Eat, Drink & Be Vegan, which was my first vegan cookbook ever, awww), and another night I'm going to make a Mexi-omelet filled with black beans, tomato, avocado, jalapeno, salsa, and sautéed peppers and onions. No matter what the filling, I'm definitely going to be topping all of my omelets with the best homemade vegan cheeze sauce on the entire planet. YES.
And I may or may not use a leftover omelet or chickpea pumpkin seed burger as the protein source on a lunchtime salad. I'm out of control.
Last but not least, someday I'll get around to making Mama Pea's Black Bean Brownies. I still have at least a dozen cookies in the freezer!
Time to relax. :)
Happy (almost) Friday!

In fact, the residents of an elite beach community demonstrated a less than subtle show of snobbery this past Summer by displaying...

Location, price, services. The best deal on San Diego.
Location is stunning great views of the city, rooms as great, pool is also great and the bar and restaurant is fantastic.
Nothing to dislike.
Great location.
No elevators.
My entire stay was relaxing with lots of comfort
Excellent location and free bike rentals. Also, the food was great at the restaurant and happy hour at the bar.
The air conditioning unit inside the bedroom was really loud when it would turn on and off. Also, you can hear other doors opening/closing inside the room and you could hear the couple next to us, but I guess that's expected in smaller rooms.
Friendly staff at check in and check out
Service of food and quality of food.
Room very clean although quite a distance from the lobby. Staff friendly and welcoming. Not too far out of town in a lovely area
Remote control for TV, although we were assured by maintenance that it was new it was very difficult to change channels. Rather noisy as room was situated at the end of the pier to the Marina on the ground floor
I really enjoyed the location, near the beach.
The air conditioners, it should b central air since it gets a little humid.
Enjoyed our stay will stay again
No view of the water
We were blown away bye the front desk manager & his warm personality. The hotel went out of its way to be very friendly & helpful. We will be back!
Hotel's location, Shelter Island.
Room was in an old section of the hotel. Price was high. Much too high for the room quality. Poor lighting in bath. Shower only. I have stayed in all the other properties on Shelter Island. This one is is a distant 5th place. I will probably not return.
Nice views,great bar appetizers,beds r very comfortable,great place to chill and swim and eat an walk around
Pool area very clean. Staff nice beautiful view of the marine from one of our rooms. We lost our iPad and the staff found it and brought it straight to us.
We booked one suite on booking.com. To accommodate 6 of us. The hotel said they don't have rooms like that in this hotel and it was booking.com fault for listing it wrong. So we had to take two separate rooms. Other than that it's a fantastic hotel.
Upgraded to a suite was very spacious. Grest kitchen facilities. Amazing views.
No breakfast included. Fitness room very limited.
Rooms that overlook the marina and the pools
Restaurant limited however good restaurants locally
This is a fabulous resort. The location is terrific - close to everything - sandy beach on one side and marina on the other. The rooms are charming & well appointed. Staff friendly & helpful. A great value.
Amazing views of the harbor, huge bed, great tv. Loved that our room had a refrigerator and a microwave not to mention the decor was lovely. The staff was super friendly and even offered to let us use the pool after checking out!
Wished the room had black out curtains! Ended up waking up earlier than planned due to the morning light and car headlights coming through the shutters. The walls weren't super sound proof, we could hear other guests and staff walking above us and right outside the door. Same with the plans but that's to be expected given how close the airport was.
It was clean. Room was big
Rather have hotel on beach. More food options at lounge n restaurant
Everything. From ck in to ck out, this was our best stay in SD ever! Staff, room, grounds, food, drink, location were just great. My go to in SD
View and restaurant was outstanding
They need to invest in new mattress, very uncomfortable
I really liked the hotel location - beautiful view of the marina and the ocean. Great location to the many tourist attractions! The food at Blue Moon was also really good. Staff was friendly and so helpful.
The remote control to our TV was finicky! Other than that - our stay at this hotel was fantastic!
great views, lovely rooms, a good restaurant, nice surrounding area with walks along the bay and marina. Couldn't fault the service and calm feel of this place. Highly recommended.
breakfast expensive
The area was very nice the balcony waterfront side. The front staff was excellent
The roooms at this time of the year was at a premum high. The bathrooms are small toilet for adults is rather low to the ground. The television does not have a premium guide so if looking for certain channels you had to play guessing games for the channel. lFor such a large resort it wouldl have been nice to have additional choice of a place to eat. Especially seince the resort is so far away from the main drag and if someone is not driving it is difficult to get around.

Just a few months after Lee County scuttled a World War II ship off Lee County's coast, the ship already has new life.
This weekend, a group of divers captured some incredible video where the U.S.S. Mohawk now rests - 28 miles off the coast of Sanibel Island.
At 90 feet down, you can see the dramatic changes the ship has gone through. The once clean walls are now ripe with algae and sea turtles are using the deck of the ship as a resting place. Experts say swimming through the ship under water has an entirely different meaning than walking the halls on the surface.
"Swimming through the hallways and wondering what men were thinking - being able to go back and wonder what was stored in these closets," said Ramiro Palma, with Subavice.
It was a $1.3-million grant that helped the county pay to sink the U.S.S. Mohawk.
The Division of Natural Resources says it made half of that back within the first 5 days after the ship sunk due to the amount of coverage from across the country.

The public-private cooperative endeavor agreement between Lake Charles Memorial Health System and Louisiana State University Health System goes into effect today, June 24, officially bringing Moss Regional Hospital's inpatient and emergency services to Memorial.
"We are excited and pleased to have the trust and support of both the LSU System and our state lawmakers when it comes to caring for the patients of Moss Regional," says Larry Graham, president and chief executive officer of the Lake Charles Memorial Health System. "This official switch allows us to move forward and provide care for those patients within the Memorial Health System."
W.O. Moss Regional Hospital will now be known as W.O. Moss Memorial Health Clinic.
The inpatient, emergency and surgery services have transferred to Memorial Hospital's Oak Park campus. West Calcasieu Cameron Hospital (WCCH) will provide some surgery and inpatient services for patients living in the WCCH service area.
However, the outpatient clinics and services that were previously offered at Moss will continue. These include: the asthma clinic, chemotherapy, dermatology, gyn clinic, hypertension clinic, infectious disease clinic, minor procedure clinic, ophthalmology, rheumatology, pharmacy services, primary care clinics and urgent care clinic.
A new medical office building is planned to be built on the Moss campus, at an estimated cost of $4 million. The emergency room at Moss is now an urgent care clinic to serve minor emergencies from 7 am until 10 pm. Patients with major emergencies can visit the Memorial emergency room 24 hours a day.
"As the community hospital, Memorial has a legacy of caring and service. We saw this need as a mission to provide underinsured or uninsured with more healthcare options," Graham says. "Memorial is excited about the opportunity to provide much needed services to the patients of Moss Regional."
Much of the specialty care, which is currently sent to other hospitals in the LSU Health System, can be provided by Memorial allowing patients to stay closer to home. The goal of the new configuration is improving access to primary and specialty care for Moss Regional patients, giving them more options and the ability to access services in our region.
Memorial's services include: cardiology, ear nose and throat, emergency medicine, digital radiology diagnostics, gastroenterology, family medicine, internal medicine, hematology, laboratory services, neurosurgery, oncology, orthopedics, obstetrics/genecology, pain medicine, pediatric intensive care, physical and occupational rehabilitation, pulmonology, radiation oncology, surgery and urology.
Around 225 state employees that once worked for the LSU Health System on the Moss campus are now employed in the same capacity by the Memorial Health System.
"I know there's always angst and worry about transition, but what made Moss a special place for those who worked there isn't the building, but really it's the people who dedicated their careers to serving the underprivileged," Graham says. "However, as they join the Memorial family, I feel confident they will bring that spirit of caring to Memorial and help their patients make a smooth transition."
