A San Diego landmark, the Town and Country Resort & Convention Center is spread over 40 acres of immaculate grounds, landscaped by hundreds of grand arching palms. When you stay at the Town and Country Resort, you'll feel more like an honored guest than a visitor. The Town and Country Resort offers modern accommodations in two towers or ranch style garden bungalows that capture the feeling of a cozy retreat. Kick off your shoes, put on your swim suit and dive into one of our four swimming pools. From fine dining to casual fare, you have your choice of five distinctive restaurants while first-class spa facilities and golf are on property and a tennis & racquetball club is close by. The Town and Country Resort will pamper you with barber and beauty services, valet and room services, a complimentary weekday morning newspaper and in-room premium entertainment
