Overall nice...but it's not so much a "Spa" for a romantic getaway as we believed during booking, as it is as much a resort or hotel and NOT a spa. Many more young kids there than expected. It's also a conference/wedding/meeting venue so there is a lot of activity. Rooms/furniture/décor a bit dated and tired. Loud fighter jets constantly buzzing overhead as you are on the departure flight path from nearby Marine Corp fighter base. You WILL be charged $30/day for use of the pool even if you don't use it, plus $28 per day to park. There is NO STREET parking! Staff is great. Food at the restaurant's is good, but the wait staff at the "Mustang and Burro" is poor, undertrained, perfunctory, slow, not engaging, and with only the faintest idea of what a waiter does. Food often served warm, not hot. Room service charge $6 plus 23% service fee without tip.

Dear Peter, Thank you for choosing to stay at our hotel. We regret that there was confusion regarding our hospitality service fee. Our team strives to be transparent about this charge before arrival by detailing the fee on our Travelocity profile. We appreciate your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back to experience our award-winning spa facilities.

5 out of 5
Pros: Quiet, personal, well maintained and private grounds
Cons: We had a minor problem with the entertainment system when ordering a movie but this was quickly corrected by the hotel staff.
Location: Location is within reasonable distance to typical San Diego attractions but more appreciated for being off the main drag of tourist attractions.
This was our first visit to this hotel and it a place we will return to visit again. The hotel is so well kept from its grounds to the rooms. It is very quiet and private with a most friendly and helpful staff. Pleased and surprised to have a complimentary bottle of wine in our room after long ride to the hotel. A little off the main grit of La Jolla but well worth it. It did not feel like a superficial tourist resort.

Hidden fees, resort, parking, breakfast.

Pros: the property is quaint
Cons: Front desk friendliness, room cleanliness, upfront fee disclosure.
Location: it was ok, not close enough to the ocean.
There were hidden fees, its not fare to quote a room rate and in small print add a daily "resort fee" if its an absolute fee for all guest, than it should be part of the daily room rate. When i made my reservation it clearly stated breakfast was included, however they charged me for it at check out. Parking was extra, at check out I noticed they charged for valet although I paid for self parking. The front desk help was disappointing and rude.

Beautiful relaxing hotel

Wonderful place to stay in the San Diego area.  Quiet, lovely gardens, nicely decorated, modern, but with an old world feel.   Restaurants: only ate there for breakfast.  Had the French toast and fresh squeezed orange juice, and my husband had an omelet; both were good.  Service was somewhat slow, but I was not in a hurry.  My view during breakfast, of a lovely fountain and garden, was worth lingering over.  Prices are too high, including paying 2.50$ for the coffee!  They give you free coffee in the hallway, but if you sit down, it is not free! Ha. Grounds: this is a beautiful setting, very popular for weddings and events. But the weddings were not noisy and did not interrupt my stay.  At night everything is beautifully lit, and scented candles create a lovely ambiance.  This is the best smelling hotel I have ever been to; flowers and herbs along walkways smell delightful, as well as the candles.  Stroll the garden paths for a relaxing walk. Everywhere you walk seems intimate and inviting.   Pool area: very nice.  Drinks and food are severed at the pool.  Lots of seating and also cabanas if desired. Rooms: nicely done. I enjoyed the tangerine accents and the muted neutral color scheme.  Beds are comfortable, done in all white, which I prefer, so that anything undesirable can be obviously seen (and there was nothing undesirable- very clean). Sheets were a bit scratchy, not the softest.  That would be my only suggestion for an update: higher thread count sheets.  I slept fine though.  Bathroom was clean, and roomy, and the shower head had a good flow.Tea and coffee in your room, complementary waters, newspaper, and wi-if (there is a daily use fee, so technically not free, but you pay the fee either way)

Fabulous service and tranquil ambience

Pros: Close restaurants, Free Internet, Quiet, beautiful grounds, good location
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Estancia La Jolla and have already recommended it to our family members. While there, we went on two 5-mile hikes which included beautiful views of the La Jolla shoreline as well as Torrey Pines State Reserve. We followed it up by booking a couples massage in their private bungalow retreat. It didn't disappoint but was a tad pricey. The accommodations were very lovely and quite comfortable and I very much enjoyed their beautiful gardens and multiple fire pits. It provided for a very romantic and relaxing atmosphere. The heated pool, spa, and private cabanas were another nice touch. The location was great as it was close to the freeway and surrounding beach areas and numerous restaurants and attractions.
