We get a lot of special guests here at the Bay Inn and Suites SeaWorld: Families coming to explore San Diego’s world famous Zoo, SeaWorld, and the beaches; California residents enjoying a trek down south; visitors from Arizona and Nevada escaping the desert heat; MCRD graduates and their proud families; and travelers from all over the world excited to experience beautiful San Diego!

This past week we received a very special thank you note from a family who stayed with us for several days. A Military couple with a small child, this family needed a quiet retreat while getting situated in a new city. Our guest services and housekeeping teams were at the ready each day for special requests from an energetic daughter and weary parents. We were so touched when this family presented us with a colorful, hand-written Thank You note at the end of their stay expressing their thanks for our service to them. Service to our guests is our top priority; we strive to make each stay a great one. We are always so happy to hear that we’ve helped make our guests experience in San Diego special.
Over the weekend we hosted several young Marines from Camp Pendleton on their ways home to their families and their first Christmas since enlisting. We were honored to host these brave young men and women, many of whom will be deployed to Afghanistan in the coming months. As part of our commitment to serving those who serve us, we have always offered special discounted rates for all Military personnel and their families - it is our thank you for the sacrifice they make for our country. We look forward to including a return guest rate for these Marines who stayed with us this weekend when they and their families come back to see us again.
All of our guests are special and we appreciate each one of them. For those of you who have stayed with us before, thank you for choosing us, we hope to host you again soon. And for those of you we have yet to meet, we look forward having you as our guest.
Thank You and Happy Holidays from all of us at the Bay Inn and Suites SeaWorld!
San Diego is one of the best places to visit during the holidays. Whether you live in San Diego and are looking for a holiday “Staycation” or visiting from across the country, San Diego has dozens of holiday-themed activities to satisfy every traveler. Here are some of our favorite ways to celebrate the holidays in San Diego....

Caroling with Shamu at SeaWorld San Diego
While we love Santa, some of our favorite holiday cheer comes from Shamu. SeaWorld San Diego in Mission Bay has daily shows featuring the famous whale and his extraordinary dances. SeaWorld San Diego is an ideal place to visit, with shows and activities perfect for the whole family. Shamu shares his stage weekends in December with “SeaWorld’s Christmas Celebration.” This holiday special is a tribute to the season including live music, Christmas trees, Seals acting silly, Dogs entertaining, and carolers spreading merriment. And if those shows don’t invoke holiday cheer, SeaWorld San Diego expands the holiday celebration with Ice Skating, the Christmas Tree of Lights, and the opportunity to meet Santa in his festive cottage! However you like to celebrate, SeaWorld San Diego has your holiday fun ready and waiting.
Don’t Miss the Show at the San Diego Sports Arena!
A San Diego landmark, the San Diego Sports Arena is home to hundreds of entertainers, athletes and sold-out shows year round. Everyone from the Lakers, to Lady Gaga, to Justin Bieber, hundreds of big name stars have taken the San Diego Sports Arena stage. It only makes sense that the San Diego Sports Arena houses the biggest holiday show in San Diego. I mean, what is Christmas without the Rockettes? The San Diego Sports Arena will be featuring the legendary Christmas Spectacular in December, with every bell and whistle straight from Radio City Music Hall. Enjoy the splendor of the holiday and your chance to see Santa arrive on his sleigh. The San Diego Sports Arena will also be bringing us “Disney On Ice Presents Let’s Celebrate” in January, a high energy, music and fun filled show that is certain to kick off the New Year with a bang!
A Festive Holiday Tradition in Old Town
Before you collapse from holiday overload, we have one more holiday favorite to share! Don’t miss Old Town’s “Holiday in the Park!” a San Diego tradition of live caroling, dancing, holiday treats, and the ever important, extended shopping hours! Old Town is California’s oldest city, and San Diego’s home for authentic Mexican dining. Refuel after all of the exciting holiday fun or bring the whole family for your festive Christmas meal. Old Town’s charm will surely provide a holiday gift worth remembering.
