We went to Paradise Cove and enjoyed it very much. It is pretty crowded and granted it isn't gourmet food, but we really enjoyed the arts and crafts and the show. We stayed next door at the Marriott so we left when we wanted and walked back to the hotel.
We met some pretty nice people there and enjoyed talking with them. The beach is really pretty. If you get the Ent. book there is a 25% off coupon which brings the price down to $127.00 for two people for the middle package.
