Quick Verdict: Sheraton San Diego Resort vs Bahia Resort Hotel

When Sheraton San Diego Resort wins: choose Sheraton if you need meeting and event capacity, want a full-service spa (Island Breeze Spa), multiple heated pools including an adults-only pool, easy access to downtown attractions and a complimentary airport shuttle.
