Pala Mesa Resort
Fallbrook, California
This is one of those very occasional places we come across
that leaves us anxious to come back, long before we've
ever left. Detached from the restaurants and the lobby,
the rooms looked promising, set against the foothills and
surrounded by nature. The decor in our room #242 was
right up our alley, in warm tones of gold, sage and terra
cotta. The furnishings were simple without being cheap,
with high end fabrics. I was most impressed with the
bedding, finally somebody who's smart enough to know
how important a good night sleep is for return business.
The bedspread was amazing, heavy with stuffing and an
underside soft as suede. The architecture alone was quaint
with a high beamed ceiling and a laid back view of hole 31
from our balcony. I admit, I don't appreciate the great
outdoors of a golf course like devoted golfer do, but there's
no denying, this place is lovely. We felt so fortunate to
have discovered it. Everything we need for a good time is
right here. There are four lighted tennis courts, a heated
swimming pool with whirlpool spa, a fully equipped fitness
center, a 4-star golf course with a driving range, practice
putting green and a fully stocked Pro shop offering personal
instruction from a golf pro and most importantly, awesome
food at two different restaurants; J.P.'s Lounge for casual
dining, cocktails and NTN and fine dining at AquaTerra.
Room service is also available from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
This whole resort is first rate quality. My only criticism of
our first floor room was the noise from the unit above us,
from their kids running and jumping around.
Check-in is 4:00 p.m. and check-out is at noon.
They offer AAA, Corporate and Government discounts.
P.S. Here's something good to know, they offer returning
guests the same $149 room for $99 a night, and I'll tell ya,
for a place like this, it's one of the best deals I've run
across in a long time.

They've redesigned all their

was so nice.
