    Uneven/worn finish teak deck. Unstable docks.
    April H.

    Please know that I have made it a point to only post positive YELP reviews. That is until now. We have been at Marina Cortez for 10+ years. We submitted our 30 day lease termination notice June 1, 2019 in person at the marina office. We were assured that the management would contact us on Monday (2 days later) with details of move-out, deposit refund and key return. No contact was made. We were at Marina Cortez both yesterday (Saturday) & today (Sunday). Due to the now public pay parking, there were no spots available in the main parking lot. We went in the office today, and the same woman who received our termination letter last week was lackadaisical and hesitant to help us. She said that there is always turnover at marinas and showed us a folder an inch thick of recent termination notices at Marina Cortez. Our monthly lease was raised March 2019 +$70 and now again +$35 effective July 2019. Rationale offers weak justification. The parking is now public pay which means our guests must pay for parking. And as I mentioned, parking lot is full without spots for boat owners. The new deli has limited offerings and no beer or wine license. The trash overflow is an eye sore and a disgust. The teak docks are poorly maintained, uneven surface and unstable at slips. We are very pleased to find a welcoming marina close by with plenty of free parking, no additional charge for electricity, free WiFi, an exceptional Deli, spa jacuzzi AND 15% less monthly lease. We are looking forward to joining a boating community that values our patronage. Contrary to their attempt to convince us that our satisfaction is of utmost importance, Marina Cortez has deteriorated their customer service and minimized their respect for boaters leasing slips at their locale. I recommend due diligence to stay away from Marina Cortez.

    Not sure what the negative reviews are for. This marina is great! The staff is very helpful and attentive and the location is amazing.

    The Marina is in a great location and although the pool and laundry are a bit small, Carol, the office manager makes this a top choice.

    To the Karen at Harbor Island West Marina:…read more My husband walked me to the showers at Harbor Island West Marina. After I finished showering, I was drying off my shower shoes at the first sink in the women's restroom. A Caucasian woman suddenly walked in, chose the sink right next to me--despite several others being available--and aggressively threw her keys or badge near my area. I found it odd, but tried to brush it off. I walked outside and told my husband, who had been patiently waiting for me. She followed shortly after and walked toward the dock area. Before we left, my husband went to the restroom, and I waited. As we approached the parking lot, I noticed her walking toward me again. Before she even spoke, I had a feeling I knew exactly what was coming--like something straight out of the "Karen" TikToks and Instagram videos I've seen. She rudely and aggressively asked, "Do you have a slip here?" I was caught off guard--shocked this was actually happening. She asked again, as if I didn't hear her the first time. I turned to my husband, unsure of our slip number, and before we could even explain, she escalated her tone and said, "Well, I thought it was weird that you were taking a shower and he was waiting for you. Then he goes into the bathroom, and now you're leaving. I've never seen you here before." My husband (a retired police officer), was waiting for me because there was only one badge for entry between us, so it was not weird at all. We told her that yes--we do have a slip. My husband has actually been staying here for nearly three weeks. She continued to insist that our presence was "weird," and said, "I watch out for this place." As a Filipino and person of color, I have never experienced racism so directly. The way she treated us--her assumptions, accusations, and tone--made me feel deeply disgusted and unwelcome. If this is how she treats strangers who don't look like her, I can only imagine how she treats others.

    Question: Why during the current multi-month to years long renovation and replacement project…read moreunderway of the entire marina, both on land and on the water, off-site parking and transportation between has not been provided for the 660 odd slip tenants and the commercial spaces served by the existing parking lot now barricaded and closed for the most part to any users. Very strange of the City of San Diego Permitting Process not to require this simple but necessary requirement for tenants not getting a break from the slip fees, the extended stay fees (this Marina's current word salad for Live Aboard Fees), other fees fees fees, etc during the renovation.

    We attended a Pacific Islander Luau tonight at the Baja Room location of Marina Village. The setup…read morewas good. We appreciated that the space has ample room for eating, entertainment, and dining. They have a covered patio here, and this is where the food for the event was served. The shade in this patio was perfect on this warm San Diego day. The back windows of the dining room look out to the marina and it's a nice view. There is a walkway along the marina as well back there for photos during the event. This venue also has a bar/beverage high counter setup for events. I also liked that there is a small stage for performers. Overall, Marina Village is a nice place to share great memories and enjoy e

    I came here for a wedding and it is absolutely gorgeous!!! There are so many rooms to host parties…read moreand events. It is also a DIY facility so you can really choose the price point to fit your event needs. I would recommend this space to anyone that loves a good harbor view. It is a huge space and there are multiple events happening at the same time with a lot of different room sizes and types for all events. It is kinda confusing finding the room initially but you get a hang of it. Has ramps and bathrooms for disabled and ample free parking. Party it up here!!!!! Only down side is some of the rooms and chairs/tables are beat up or need updated maintenance. The bay view room had a leak in the roof and there was no way in fixing it in time for the event. Or some of the chairs are ripped or wobbly. Something to think about!
