I would def call and make sure they're open before you go

We had a wonderful experience with Paradiso Yacht Charters! From start to finish, everything was…read moreexceptionally well organized and exceeded our expectations. The Paradiso team, especially Kathi and Chacha, did an amazing job helping us plan and coordinate our event. Everything went exactly as described, with no unexpected surprises, which made the entire planning process smooth and stress-free. The catering was fantastic as well. Chef Tom made it very easy to coordinate the menu, and having Chef Teddy with us during the event gave everyone added confidence that everything and everyone would be satisfied. The food and service were both excellent. On the day of the event, Captain Noah and Captain Joe did a tremendous job ensuring that we stayed on schedule while keeping everyone safe and comfortable throughout the entire trip. Their professionalism and attention to detail really made a difference. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. The entire Paradiso team went above and beyond to make our event enjoyable, seamless, and memorable. We would highly recommend Paradiso Yacht Charters to anyone looking to plan a special event on the water! A special thank you to Captain Noah for making the ceremony especially meaningful. He took the time to get to know the departed and incorporated thoughtful personal touches that made the experience even more heartfelt and memorable. His compassion, attention to detail, and genuine care truly helped make the ceremony a beautiful tribute. Sincerely, Norman P. Goco

After doing extensive research found the Paradiso Yacht for my 50th birthday. The service with…read moreTanya was easy and professional. It did take a bit to get the premium bar menu to review - and I really wanted good champagne on the yacht to be served all night long, but they only had prosecco and we weren't able to work together to order nice bottles ahead of time. There was a 2 bottle maximum that was allowed to be brought on board with a $35 corkage - but they allowed me a few more bottles on board which was nice. But would have been nice to know ahead of time vs the day before. I wouldn't say anyone went above and beyond - but service was professional, courteous. Drinks for the premium bar were definitely on par with CA prices. They provided a list of caterers and for my milestone where I wanted French food - recommended Tom's Catering. He has been doing food on board for 20+ years and the food was PHENOMENAL. Guests devoured the food and everything was absolutely delicious. Boat has 3 levels and was able to fit the party nicely. The main floor had the bar and upstairs is where we played games. all in all - everyone had a lovely time, nobody got sea sick.

This park is small, and also nestled and kinda hidden between Fairview Park and all the dirt trails…read morethat lead to the Santa Ana River Trail. You can get there by first parking at Fairview Park, then walking down the dirt path that leads to a paved path, or walking down the stairs. There is a restroom and water fountain, along with some picnic tables. It's very well kept and not many people know about it, so usually it's pretty secluded. Right now there is a rattlesnake warning sign up. We did come across a small gardener snake along the paved trail on our way there, but it got out of the way once it felt us coming. It's a very nice little park to relax, have a picnic, or kick around a ball with your dog. It's also only 3 miles from the beach, so on a really hot day, it's a great spot to still be able to be outdoors since it will be a lot cooler in this area.

Non-likes: - Limited parking. The parking & pedestrian access options from Sea Bluff Dr & Sea Cove Ln section is limited. You'll prob wanna park around the Discovery Dr & Balboa Blvd intersection.

There was about 10 male employees all just hanging out and even walking by and looking right at you with eye contact and never said even hi and definitely did not offer any assistance or care to ask if we needed any help. Management PLEASE RETRAIN your employees. Again none of them even asked us if they could help us not one even said Hello after just staring at us like WTF? The bathroom was flooded looked like the toilet and urinal were both flooded or leaking and no one bothered to clean it up instead they just put a slippery sign on the floor. With 10 employees hanging around not doing crap, one of them could have mopped the bathroom or tried to do something about the leak or flood right? I've heard many people say they get their cars towed just by parking right in front of the store which is beyond a slap in the face. Thank god I did not have this issue as I was only in the store like 15minutes.

They admitted some shortcomings on their part with my experience, explained some issues on their end with challenges during the current Covid situation (which was understandable and reasonable), but they also didn't give me the impression they we're going to be Nordstrom's or Costco, customer-service wise, anytime soon although reaching out to get input is certainly a step in the right direction. They did also offer to send me a gift card to make up the difference for the return postage and hassle (which I respectfully declined). They do have nice products just keep working on the customer service side of things. Thank you.
