I've chosen a very special venue for us to meet! It's not a humongous hotel with tons of hustle and bustle; nor is it too off the beaten path. The Social Media Intensive is hosted at the Kona Kai Resort, an attractive tropical beach style venue in the San Diego area. I've hosted events at this venue in the past and it's been a big hit!

The Kona Kai Resort and Spa is a year round waterfront resort designed with a tropical island ambiance, located at the very tip of Shelter Island, CA and offering magnificent garden, marina and bay views. You can see the entire San Diego skyline across the water. It's a gorgeous place to soak up the Social Media Intensive teachings and to soak up the splendor of San Diego.

We're conveniently located close to the airport, but not so close you hear airplanes all day and night! You can take advantage of Kona Kai's complimentary shuttle service from the San Diego airport for easy no-cost travel to and from the event.

Complementing the Hawaiian-island setting of this waterfront hotel, you can enjoy California fresh cuisine with breakfast, lunch and dinner at the marina-view Kona Kai Restaurant with adjacent Kona Kai Lounge.

A generous selection of modern and convenient amenities at the Kona Kai Resort and Spa include complimentary WIFI throughout the hotel, an expansive pool area with whirlpool, a full service Fitness Club, a sunning beach with volleyball courts on the sand, bicycle rentals and jogging paths.
