The perfect escape - a pearl, type of resort, and extremely good service and luxury.

Greeting: When we arrived it was an 'extra' person just inside the building saying 'hi' and giving directions to where to check-in. Pool area: nice pool, felt clean. A lot of pool beds and a relaxed feeling of mixed guests (kids, couples...). Good. Also, if you bought a drink at the pool, it was with nice plastic glasses that they wash over and over again, and not those cheap once. That was also very good. Gym: Good programs on the indoor walking and running machine, that you could follow. They had some fruit you could pick when you were finished with the excise. Beds; nice, comfortable beds. Down pillows. Room: Patio with gate that needed the key to enter = good. Nice sofa with pillows. Could need one more chair outside, since we were 4 persons. Nice furniture in real wood! Good coffee and extra pods were supplied when asked for. Area, restaurants: Extremely nice environment (building, plants, seatings, paths) within the hotel area. The Dinining was Mexican inspired. We ate 2 nights at the hotel. 1 breakfast, in a different area at the hotel. Expensive but good taste and all was served on excellent beuatiful porcelain and they used fine silverware.

The breakfast restaurant: The serving took too long. We wanted to head of to San Diego, but we had to wait a little bit. And of course, everything was very expensive, but what we could expect. Pool area: The bar at the pool closed at 5pm, could have had open for a little longer, since you normally go away and visit the surondings during the day and when you come back you want to relax 1-2 hours by the pool (with a drink :)) and this was not possible now. Restaurant: Too long waiting time the second day. So we 'needed' to by a drink at the bar outside the restarunatn/lobby, and they had strangely different bar menu, So the wine we had the day before from the restaurant - he could not get and fetch that.....

Might be OK when construction is done.

The hotel pool was under construction - like completely shut with a big chunk of the property off limits. Wish I had known this when we booked. Also, spa was quite snooty - wanted to go in the steam room w/o booking a massage and they were quite snarky about it.

in past had great stays here for 4 years. this was the worst - the GM is supposed to call me when back. I guess he was

we stay often. like the hotel. special local overnite occasions. this was the worst.

understaffed w wedding and busy these days. kept being told the wedding was the issue on items we discussed. hey. that is NOT my problem. and if that is the excuse- discount the rooms to others w issues.

Location and cleanliness of the hotel.

The front desk staff did not have a friendly or pleasant expression. He was flat and short with his answers. He just checked us in and did not offer any recommendations when asked. I also asked about any discounts for UCSD students, and he straight out said no, even though the website says they do offer a discount. The staff at checkout was the same, very flat and not friendly at all. I have stayed at Estancia 3 times in the past and even got married here. I always had a very pleasant experience at checkin and check out, but on this visit, I did not feel welcomed at all.

Property was beautiful but so are many other properties in La Jolla. I won’t be going back.

Beautiful

There were a few things that happened with the staff that will make me stay elsewhere next time. When I brought up my concerns instead of fixing it I was told over and over there was nothing that could be done. There was an issue with processing my card that was not an issue on my end. I spent hours on the phone with the bank for two days trying to get it fixed when it was literally a click of a button on the hotels end that finally fixed it. I cancelled my facial and was charged half even though I canceled it. I tried to call numerous times but no one answers the spa phone. Then they charged me bc it was less than 24 hours notice. The morning cafe is the worst food and coffee I’ve ever had.

Complete waste of time and money

The grounds of this property are beautiful and well maintained.

I've never had a worse hotel stay in my life. The room was over $500, the shower did not work even after they called an engineer, and extremely loud landscape trimming started at 8:00am right outside our patio. They offered me a discount when checking out, but I still paid over $300 for a horrible stay and no shower.

This was a getaway for my wife and me and it was a quiet stay.

The room was a nice size and was clean. The valet parking was expensive but the valet drivers were very friendly!

I didn’t know there was construction until we arrived. Maybe it was because of the construction but our room was a very long walk from the lobby/everything and everything else.

We’ll come back to stay, but we won’t waste money on food or spa services.

Lovely grounds. Private patio. Very comfortable rooms and beds. Housekeeping was exceptional, possibly the best department on property.

Food was mediocre. Service at the pool was difficult to access with confusing signs and only a single staff member available for all tasks. Spa was just fine. Ladies sauna out all day. Massages were average at best. Fitness room tiny.

Needs an update / refresh but great staff, spa, and outdoor spaces.

Staff wonderful, spa was great - grounds were also beautiful.

Felt outdated - everything needs a fresh coat of paint, the toilet handle fell off, and I wouldn’t bathe my baby in that tub. For the price, expected everything inside to look fresh.
