Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa

Comfy beds with lots of amenities! Amazing staff too Nothing

Breakfast at Greenfinch (?) was good and filling. The wait staff were attentive. The day we were at the pool, the cafe was closed. If you go to the pool, go early. If you wait, there may not be any chairs. We had to rent a cabana. Definitely not worth the money. In the first cabana, the TV didn’t work. In the second cabana, the fan didn’t work. We were told maintenance would come to fix it. That didn’t happen. Additionally, the pool waitstaff did their best to keep. But, we only saw the waitstaff once during our 5 hour pool time. The rooms were large, as were our the bathrooms. Good water pressure in the shower. The beds were comfortable. The valet staff were amazing. Prompt, efficient and professional. Out of all the service we had here, definitely the best. I saw many people (leadership staff walking around in suits). They never spoke, nor asked how the stay was. Additionally, after all of the issues with the Caban, no one apologized nor asked if we would like a discount. Very disappointing. Compared to other resorts (we travel frequently), I would not return. The reason I gave it a 4 is for the valet staff and grounds. Otherwise, I would have given it a 3. Also, if you aren’t from California, the weather in the morning and evening was cool.

Loved everything

Beautiful property and amazing staff! We had such a wonderful stay at Estancia la Jolla. The hotel was such a nice, peaceful, escape! We loved everything- the plants, gardens, and whimsical touches. We had our wedding at Estancia and it was the BEST day! Our hotel guests loved their stay and the entire experience! They commented on how the good the food and service were. However, what really set this place apart from other hotels is the staff! Everyone was so friendly, helpful, and professional. They went above and beyond! The rooms were clean and stocked with water.

Really quaint hotel better than expected I'm happy that it wasn't in the busy part of La Jolla we were in our own little bubble and had some nice walks down by the beach

It was a great experience. I would recommend this resort as a vacation destination.

We arrived a bit early for the 4PM check in and were unable to check in. We tried to hang out by the pool but the DJ was raucous and there was no space, which felt surprising given the occupancy of the rest of the weekend. It felt like an oversold day party. Once the 4PM check in hit there was a huge line to check in. The system felt a bit chaotic but the staff was efficient. The rest of our stay was lovely.

Beautiful resort close to the best beaches in San Diego.

The property is beautiful and besides from not being able to check in on time, everything was wonderful.

The room was nice and loved the little doggy box. Restaurant looked very pretty. Pool is nice but super busy and couldn’t get a subbed. Only there one night. The resort fee, the parking fee, couldn’t even get a coffee at the pool, over crowded and couldn’t even get a sun bed. People allowed to hold beds when they’re not there. But you have to pay all this money. Then they hold $160 for an accidental fee. Insane amount of money for one night. Parking is way too expensive. Good was sub par, won’t go back

Memorable

When I checked in, I was told that there were various discount packages for food consumed at the hotel. The pricing of those packages was anything but transparent. The receptionist offered to email me a sample menu, which she thought might shed some light on the discounts being offered. I never received it. The hotel is labyrinthine. The designer or designers should have never been allowed to practice architecture. The carpets inside my room and on the hallways were dirty. As a saying in German has it, I stayed at the Estancia La Jolla three times: the first time, the last time, and one time too many.

Unfortunately, this meant we did not receive the room type we had paid for, and the response from staff was that we just had to deal with it essentially. Additionally, we encountered billing issues, including being charged twice for parking and several other unexpected room charges, which we had to request be corrected. While the spa massages were excellent, the overall experience was disappointing, especially for a hotel that positions itself as a higher-end property.

Hotel was lovely and well located . The “ pool view” room was not pool view unless you craned your neck from the little balcony but the room was a nice size . A very limited room service menu for dinner despite the extensive poolside menu for lunch which was odd . All in all a very nice place to stay.

Very good

Everything great

the grounds were lovely and well kept The beds, linens and pillows are just so uncomfortable. I could not sleep at all
