Stay and see in San Diego for Honeymoon?

We're going on our honeymoon in early November. Any suggestions on where to stay? I found a few packages online for Rancho Bernardo and Paradise Point, but don't know if these are good hotels. We don't want to break the bank either because we plan on going to Europe in the Spring. Any ideas on restaurants would be great also!Stay and see in San Diego for Honeymoon?
I would fly into SD and hit the Hanalei for the first night. The after sleeping in and checking out the jacuzzi, Id get over to seaport village for a romantic stroll by the ocean on the boardwalk and pick up a couple souvenirs. Eat a late lunch of fish %26amp; ride the carousel together. I'd have booked dinner at a romantic resturant in little italy and then checked into a bed and breakfast with room service ;) by then I'd be ready to lay on the beach in la jolla and nap (yes in nov wear your sweats) then get cleaned up and have a nice dinner there at Alfonso's with cocktails later walking around downtown. Then in the am hit the airport to go home. I am so jealous lol, have fun and congratulations!!! Really I'd say skip on the rancho bernardo thing, it is not very fun place for honeymooning.
Prices should start to drop now that the weather is getting cooler there. Look for something in hotel circle because that would put you pretty close to anything you want to do and it's not to far from the airport. There are a lot of good places to eat there, you can just pick one and you will pretty much be guaranteed it will be good. For the night life I would go to the gas lamp, you can have fun there at any bar. Congrats and I hope you have a great timeStay and see in San Diego for Honeymoon?
RB Inn is inland not not really near any major sites or attractions. Paradise Point might be nicer. The motels on HotelCircle aren't great Honeymoon material. Try something around Harbor Island (right near airport...you could walk). There's a huge Sheraton and a Hilton. There is also a Hilton Mission Bay Resort that's nice and a small Hilton downton SD (right in Gaslamp) as well.Since you don't want to break the bank, I'll leave out the Zoo, Wild Animal Park and Sea World. Visit Old Town, Balboa Park, the Embarcadero and Coronado. You could take one of the Hornblower dinner Cruises, or just a Harbor Cruise. There is also a retired Navy Aircraft Carrier that you can visit. The Gaslamp District has tons of great restaurants. Since you're going to Europe in the spring, there is a Spanish restaurant...Sevilla and a french one called Provencale..or something like that. For Mexican Food I like Miguels on Coronado Island. I really like their patio. Jake's in Del Mar is one of my all time favorites. It's right on the beach, but it's a little on the pricey side...not too bad though, and it might be nice to take a drive to downtown La Jolla via Torrey Pines and La Jolla Scenic Drive afterwards. Also, Alfonso's in La Jolla is another mexican restaurant I like (mostly for the patio again)...in fact Downtown La Jolla is a great place to visit in general...reminds me of the Riviera a lot. For hamburgers check out Corvette Diner (all 50's style) or HoDad's in Ocean Beach (hippie style). Some cheaper eats of the local variety are: Rubio's Fish Tacos or Pat and Oscars (famous for their breadsticks and greek salads and pocket sandwiches) Hope that helps. Enjoy and congrats.
I would want to stay in Gaslamp. It's easy to walk to everything, and there's plenty of restaurants, clubs, spas, attractions, etc. The Omni is really nice, but there's also some cheaper chains in the Gaslamp. Croce's is a great place to eat dinner and watch live music.
RB Inn is pretty inland and though beautiful, not really close to much except the Wild Animal Park. I would suggest the Westin in the Gaslamp, or the Hilton (or is it the Hyatt???) on Mission Bay. They're closer to more of the touristy sites and yet still pretty swanky for a honeymoon. If you're looking to splurge, the Coronado Marriott is beautiful!!!! Or La Costa in Del Mar right on the cliffs (might also be called the Aventine).
Check out these hotels on Shelter Island right on San Diego Bay. This area is close to town and the airport and many have rooms overlooking the bay. Humphries on the bay is here and there may be someone performing while you are there. I prefer the Kona Kai hotel. It is less busy here and you can walk along a path right next to the bay.
Lots of good recommendations already. I'll add that RB isn't really the place to be if you want to see San Diego -- too far inland.



As others have mentioned, the Gaslamp district is very nice to stay near. It let's you walk around and enjoy the restaurants and nightlife. If you're near the Gaslamp, you can also walk to the attractions on the oceanfront (seaport village, Star of India Sailing Ship, Seafood restaurrants (Anthony's is famous), etc. A simple taxi ride to the famous San Diego Zoo %26amp; Balboa Park.
When my husband and I have stayed in San Diego we have always stayed in Hotel Circle! It is close to pretty much everything.The beaches are not to far and sights are closerr too! It is usually the cheaper hotels. The best thing to do though is to go on line to expedia.com or hotwire.com and put the dates you are going and what area you want to stay in and then you can find good/more reasonable prices! You can get package deals for the sight too!

Hope this helps!
