My husband and I wanted to do a staycation as Encinitas locals who never stayed at Alila. I booked the room through Expedia and at check in, to our bewilderment, the front desk agent said that our 2 Queen bedroom hosts a maximum of 2 guests while we stood there with our 9 year old daughter. He then went on to say that for us to stay, we needed to buy a separate room at the ADR ($700+) for our child - a minor. Expedia does not make mention of this when advertising this hotel and offers false info. - like 24 hr. room service as well as the 2 welcome drinks included with the $55 resort fee. My parents live nearby and were able to swing by and pick up my daughter for the evening but we'd have preferred to leave as soon as we felt totally discriminated against as a family at check-in- we were within the nonrefundable booking window so we felt obligated to stay. The front desk agent required me to sign a waiver stating that my child would not be loud or ..... act like a child. When we went to the pool area, there was a sign suggesting that children under the age of 16 were not allowed into the Jacuzzi for the 'comfort' of guests. The hotel's website only 'suggests' that this is a hotel that 'caters to adults' rather than saying it is an adult only hotel where children aren't allowed. That's probably because in the state of California it is UNLAWFUL & in violation of the unruh Civil Rights Act. They are under legal scrutiny, we learned from a quick google search. Shame on them!!!

It was quiet and relaxing. I booked a room with a big terrace and a firepit. It was exactly what I needed for my mommy get away. My only complaint would be the lack of self parking. The valet parking is insanely priced. Also the pool area is fairly small so you might not have a place to lay out in. The staff was attentive and nice.

Sound issues

The room and the hotel itself along with the staff are excellent, along with the views. We had a concern with the privacy and quietness with the rooms that we can hear the neighboring guests talking. I stayed in room 133 and they were at 131. There was a wooden door between us and I guess it was not very sound proof. Also we can hear guests staying right above us walking around in their rooms. I believe the ceiling soundproof was also not done right.

Just a gorgeous property and every single staff member was outstanding and I mean that. I had more interaction with Marty and he's just wonderful, helpful and knowledgeable. I have arthritis and had I known our room would have been so far from the lobby (151) I would have asked to perhaps switch. Loved the Coffee Box and Vaga.The room appointments were spot on and amazing, best shower ever especially the eucalyptus in the shower. My complaint of the room is a lighted makeup mirror on the wall would have been great OR the kind of vanity mirror that is lit all the way around. The bathroom is lit too dimly to do makeup. To us, there isn't enough hustle and bustle at this lovely place and probably purposely no real gathering space. We didn't know the property is one for tranquility,but so glad we tried Alila Marea. So lovely but perhaps not for us. Thank you to the entire staff.

Most of the staff were kind and helpful. The rooms were clean, no turn down service, not the end of the world, but for the cost, expected. The amenities offered were a very nice touch, and the gentleman who assisted with the bike and board rentals was wonderful. Food service is the area that is below standards and needs to be addressed. We had cocktails upon arrival and dined at both restaurants during our stay. The food was less than stellar, the staff was kind but considering we were one of two or three guests, the servers were inattentive, service was slow,(they seemed to be carrying out personal business..yes we could hear the personal conversations being addressed on the phone and with others while guest service was being neglected). You have a beautiful location and could really make this resort a go-to destination. However, some of the most basic hospitality skills have seriously missed the mark. Our comments are honest, not meant to be cruel. Moving forward, we hope the areas we feel are deficient will be addressed and improved.

Awful experience

From checking in after 4 pm while requesting a early check in for my husbands birthday I was told my room would be ready and was being finished up to only find out we sat around for 4 hours because we thought our room was almost ready indeed it was not even close” then we finally get checked in after 4 pm and we receive someone else’s luggage up to our room with none of our expensive luggage or belongings. THEN we order food only to have it take almost 2 hours and receive the most disgusting non editable food and hard short ribs! This was the worst experience I’ve ever had

Not worth the money

It’s a nice hotel but definitely not worth the money. For the price you get a room, pool anf gym access. Otherwise there is a charge for everything. Poor signage around the hotel for accessing the lobby.
