Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa

Wonderful small resort with amazing amenities, attentive staff and beautiful rooms and common areas. I Highly recommend, we will be returning back soon. The resort is clean and the grounds are lush and immaculate. It is a dog friendly hotel that has very cute amenities for dogs through out the resort.

Let me start off by saying the resort itself is nice & relaxing. Great for a getaway after working hard & wanting to go somewhere outside of LA. However...... don't fall for their "credit package". My husband & I asked the concierge about the "Resort Package which was spend $400 get $500 credit". We figured we can do that package cause we wanted to get a couples message & were willing to try out the restaurants & bars. 3x we spoke with the concierge asking for confirmation that food we're eating & is getting charged to the room will be under the "500 credit". Each time, they confirmed with us & told us not to worry abt it. By the 3rd day we asked for an invoice to see how many credits we had left & were hit with a $1,400 bill. We went down to the concierge to speak with the manager Kai & Kai had stated he forgot to add the credits. We then get hit with a new invoice with only $100 off the final bill. He told us that the $400 credit was applied. How ever it was a straight lie. Not only do they charge you for every meal you have they also charge you additional $400 for the "Resort Package" that only gives a $100 back. If the concierge & Kai was more truthful about this package we would've still considered it & felt better about it. But the entire program is disingenuous, the concierge don't know themselves what the package truly is entailing---one them even agreed with us that we should've gotten a $500 credit & not have gotten charged more & the food there isn't even that good. Only spend money at the bars, Luis is a genius. But the spa & restaurants trust me when I say save your money & go elsewhere--literally anywhere.

The room was extremely comfy, the grounds were stunningly beautiful with gorgeous nooks and crannies for exploring, the staff was super friendly and helpful, and we could walk to the beach. The hotel had everything we needed, but was also close to shops and restaurants in town. Really great stay!

Great location, great pool, and great staff. Would definitely recommend staying here when visiting La Jolla! Drinks at the pool and in the lobby were great. Rooms are cozy and modern. Music in the lobby by the fire each night was a great touch.

Estancia Resort and Spa has a boutique feel and offers lush gardens, varied seating areas, an array of food and drink options and a sensorial experience overall. Dedicated employees made our experience very nice. The Spa massage was transporting.
