Recent guest reviews

The front desk, bell desk, concierge and valet service was top notch. We had an exceptional waitress (Becky) who served our large group with an awesome personality. The only area where improvement was needed was food and drink service at the pool bar. We had three people order and we had to end up leaving after an hour's wait for even acknowledgment of the food not coming. We will certainly be back and was a great hotel.

The only complaint we had was there was a $40 per room/ per day resort fee we didn’t know about before hand. If we had know we would have taken advantage of a few of the things that included knowing we’d be paying for them anyhow.

I’ve stayed in many 5 star hotels in the states and internationally but I have to stay the attentive customer service at The Grand Del Mar Fairmont was the best thus far. Thank you for a terrific stay in your beautiful property.

We have traveled the world and stayed at some of the finest hotels. Without a doubt, this hotel is one of the best! Phenomenal service (The best hotel desk person and greeting ever), fantastic grounds to walk, a beautiful golf course, a True 5-star Restaurant (The only 5-Star in the area) and the hotel room was superb.

While my car was parked in valet it was side swiped. I understand accidents happen however, I would expect for the manager on duty Joshua S. to be professional enough to respond to an email. People don't pay 600 dollars a night to be ignored when something like this happens.

The Concierge booked us into an event at the wrong town, we did not discover it until 1/2 hour before the start. One person in our party was hurt at the alternate location.

Excellent stay! This hotel is the best! Everything was great. I love the room , view, service ! My husband and U had a blast staying at this hotel. We will surely be back

With its proximity to the San Diego area, this is a great location- tucked beautifully into the hillside. Tranquil and comfortable.

We loved the beautiful hotel and creature comforts that came with it! Great splurge for a valentine's day weekend!

SIMPLY THE BEST

My hubby and I went on a weekend getaway and decided to stay at this hotel. The short drive from the main gate to the hotel was quiet with nice sceneries. By the time we reach the hotel, they were ready to take our bags and check us in. The room is amazing! We had a view of a garden and the golf course. Marble flooring, small screen TV, duel sink, and a telephone in the bathroom. Fluffy bed, pillows, comforter, and towels (The pillow and bed is a little too soft for me but it's okay). There is even a mini/wet bar~! The staffs are very friendly and helpful. While we were checking out, they went to get our car so we didn't have to wait~!! The pool was nice and empty, which was kind of cool. We didn't use the fitness center but we went in there just to check it out. The equipments are very clean and it doesn't look beat up. We wanted to eat at Addison but we didn't bring the appropriate clothing so we went to Amaya instead. The food was very delicious!! We would definitely go back when we need another quiet relaxing getaway!!

You get to the gate and they ask for your name. Once you get to the hotel, they already have the bellhop ready to take your bags to your room as they have already checked you in.

The hotel is absolutely gorgeous, with inlaid marble and expensive fabrics everywhere. Sitting by the fabulous pool was like being on a high-end cruise. We had several breakfasts and a lunch at the Amaya restaurant -- wonderful! Spa is gorgeous, tennis courts have a fountain, big lawn out front is perfect for playing frisbee. An easy drive to La Jolla and San Diego, but it's hard to leave the premises. We will definitely go back!
