Set amidst Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve, this 249-room luxury San Diego resort captures the elegance and comfort of an old-world Mediterranean estate with an enviable Southern California locale. Its design honors the indelible style of visionary architect Addison Mizner (1872 – 1933) who drew his inspiration from Spain’s palaces and France’s sun-washed coastal retreats.

Spent three nights at the Fairmont and was continuously impressed at every turn. From the team working the front door, to the front desk attendees, general staff and managers I encountered. The property is beautiful and well maintained. Although I did not visit a restaurant, the food provided to our business group of 100 was of high quality. So it would lead me to believe the restaurant food would be even better. Worth the experience and I hope to return and enjoy the R & R aspect of what the property provides.

A very nice hotel with well appointed rooms. Massive bathrooms, well laid out, and comfortable bed, not too soft or hard. Service is very friendly and helpful. Lovely lounge up front filled with cushy chairs that becomes a bar at 4pm. Good selection of wines though inflated prices. The onsite restaurant was fine — a great trout fillet — with ample outdoor seating for nice days. Just a very nice spot though be aware a lot of business people looking busy during the week. Small distraction.

We stayed at this hotel after our wedding and had a beautiful suite! The grounds are perfect and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. We love this property and went on a gorgeous walk with our coffees from the little cafe on site. Lovely!

Went to Brunch over Valentine's Day weekend at Amaya....what a fantastic time we had with the 3 course menu for $60.00 per person. This is an incredible deal! Service with Andrea was top notch and the food matched the beauty of this gorgeous 5* resort Fairmont Grand Del Mar in Del Mar/San Diego, CA. Can't say enough of the manager, Michael Malichem of Amaya....great guy and it shows how much he loves his job! Can't wait to come back here since it's like being in Italy but the resort is in my hometown!

Wonderful property. I wish I could have stayed longer. The place is away from the city and it feels tranquil. If you want to relax, play golf, or spend time at the spa, this is the best spot to unwind. I thought the room had a nice classic resort theme to it. Large bathroom. I had a balcony that looked out to a courtyard. Definitely a place I’d like to come back to again.
