“Wave Crest Resort charmed me with its low-key, almost accidental discovery feel, the kind of place that feels like a timeshare find without the hard sell. The grounds evoke a sense of Hawaii, a serene escape just steps from the beach, though the train's whistle adds a touch of Del Mar reality to the tropical daydream. It's a no-frills escape that prioritizes location and relaxation above all else.”
