My husband and I spent a long weekend at the Estancia La Jolla and we loved the hotel. I have been in the La Jolla area many times (I even went to college at UC, San Diego - located across the street!) but never knew much about the Estancia. It really is a hidden gem. Every interaction we had with... More

This is a hidden gem outside of the beachfront resorts common to the area. The staff were impeccably kind, offering to take pictures, provide local travel advice, or even just ready with a smile. Valet was prompt and even took the trash from our car, while offering us fresh water and coffee for each of our trips! The room was... More

We love this place. We have been twice and it´s our favourite hotel in the US. It´s beautiful, it´s clean, the food it´s excellent (the breakfast its perfect), the surroundings, the area... We have not interacted much with the staff, but everyone was professional and efficient. It has been a great experience both times. And we are back in July... More

From the very moment we pulled up to this secluded getaway, I knew we were in for a treat with the authentic Spanish decor. We were warmly welcomed with a glass of champagne at check-in. I wish every hotel would make this a tradition! The property is spread out around a lovely grass area where couples walked and children played.... More

We stayed at the resort to celebrate my daughter's birthday. From the minute we arrived we were treated with 5 star service! The valet, Chris and bellman were very friendly and informative. Gabby checked us in at the Front Desk and recommended we dine at Mustangs and Burros for dinner. The girls enjoyed a delicious dinner and then we had... More

In March 2013, I spent a long weekend at Estancia and really, really, really enjoyed it. The food, in particular, was delicious at every meal. Everything appeared and tasted fresh, whole, and real. The spa was lovely and all employees were true professionals and excellent at their craft. Also, notable was the valet staff who always took good care of... More

This hotel has it all: heavenly location, stunning grounds, great pool, fabulous indoor/outdoor bar (Mustangs & Burrows), state of the art rooms with amazing beds/pillows & what a great staff. For walkers & runners, the hotel is less than 2 miles from Torrey Pines State Park. World class golf is just down the road at legendary Torrey Pines Golf Course... More
