Hotel Information: Vacationers, corporate groups, and families have discovered this lushly landscaped getaway on Shelter Island. The Best Western's welcoming lobby features a waterfall spilling into a pool, graceful statuary, and abundant foliage. When the tiki torches are lit, the ambience is more South Seas than San Diego.

Amenity highlights: This island property takes full advantage of surrounding water views. Guests sip cocktails and dine on coastal cuisine on the terrace at the Blue Wave Bar & Grill, which faces the colorful, 180-boat marina. Two outdoor pools and spa tubs have a private setting and marina views, with a seasonal poolside bar offering refreshments.

Insider tip: Across the street from the Best Western Island Palms is a perfect picnic spot, with barbecue grills, benches, exquisite views of San Diego Bay and the city skyline, and plenty of room to spread out.
