"Unbeatable location for the price"
We had a great stay, the hotel location made it very easy for us to do all the activities that we enjoy doing while on vacation. Great place to relax, excellent place for walking and hiking near the beach, close to nice restaurants and shops. The staff is wonderful, very pleasant and always willing to help. Will recommend this place and we would come back.

Wonderful accommodations!
Really beautiful surroundings, very nice room and overall accommodations. Walk to beach was approx 1.5 miles and you had to be able to walk up/down steep incline, but overall a great place. Staff personable and very willing to help give directions, look up information, etc. Pool very large and beautiful surroundings. A great resort to stay at!

Excellent, Beautiful Stay
I enjoyed a beautiful stay, staff and service were great with excellent attention to detail. Such beautiful property, landscaping and intimatacy I could have been in another country. I created a regular routine of jogging to Black Sands Beach (great workout just walking up and down the hill!). As a New Yorker, I also enjoyed the food and wine (lots of wine).

Beautiful setting
Great place, except for the weddings -- at least one per day on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday of Labor Day weekend - the one on Sunday, with about 280 guests, seemed to have included guest passes to the pool for locals too. The pool area, which was otherwise large enough for hotel guests, became overwhelmed, noisy, short of chairs and towels - I sort of felt as though I was crashing their party.

For a relatively inexpensive breakfast, Harry's, on Girard Avenue and Torrey Pines Rd in LaJolla Village -- quiet during the week, busy on weekends --just minutes from the hotel.

Weekend Getaway
The staff didnt really know the special promotion that they are offering with Orbitz, I had to explain a few times about the package that I'm getting - either a room upgrad or free breakfast. I didnt like the fact that the check out time was so early and the front desk wouldnt allow half an hour to an hour late check out.

A GREAT VACATION !!
We arrived at Estancia La Jolla from 3 days in Los Angeles. When we arrived before noon, we were greeted warmly, checked in and began to enjoy our experience immediately. The room was beautiful, the Orbitz upgrade included free breakfast daily, which could total up to $42 a day. The location was a little north of the town of La Jolla, but as long as you had a car, that turned out to be a blessing. The concierge recommended Jake's Del Mar restaurant for lunch, which was right on the beach. The food was great and the view was perfect. When we drove into La Jolla, I knew we had made the right choice to stay at Estancia. While the view of La Jolla Point was beautiful, it was kind of crowded, low tide smelled, and I couldn't imagine enjoying staying "in town". We ate several meals at the hotel, and the food was first rate. The pool and jacuzzi was BEAUTIFUL, the staff very attentive and friendly, and we enjoyed chatting with the restaurant waiters, chef, and restaurant manager. For NO good reason, we were treated like VIP's. I would recommend this hotel to families, couples, corporate meetings and anyone who wants to enjoy first class service,a beautiful setting, and close proximity to San Diego. We drove in to San Diego to see a Padres game, Coronado Beach, the San Diego Zoo, golfed at Torrey Pines (my husband walked on, rented clubs, and teed off at 3 pm on a Wednesday with NO wait)!! And we relaxed at Estancia.

Sightseeing tip:
Long walk from hotel
On the back of the Hotel map, there is a walking map. We ventured to Black's Beach, which is a 1.3 mile walk to the "head of the beach". When you arrive, be ready for the other part of the adventure! It is probably almost a mile D-O W-N a steep paved road to one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen! Bring a water bottle, because it is very private, and nothing as far as public facilities. BUT, if you are hearty, you will be treated to quite a view. Good luck climbing back up the hill. Just take your time.

Not a Family Hotel
The hotel had beautiful surroundings and gardens. It was more of an adult resort. Very quiet, nice place, not recommended for family vacation. Parking was $25.00 a day and convenience charges of $9.00 per day per room was too much, this was for internet and I don't know what else. These were mandatory charges, not optional, cost for a week $300.00. Overall very overpriced for what you get. Also pool closed at 10pm a little early for parents wanting time to relax after a day of sight seeing. Also no vending machices for soda or ice.

Beautiful hotel for great price
The hotel and staff were superior. Clean, plush, and gorgeous grounds. The price was great until the mandatory valet parking fee ($25/day) and the $14/day hospitality fee were factored in. Even so, it was worth it, but I would have prefered to know the full price up front.
