L'Auberge Del Mar

Beautiful hotel at a great location. Amazing to be able to take a short walk down the path to the beach and stroll. Also, the staff was absolutely wonderful! Only two issues with our stay: The breafast at the restaurant was not great. We tried different dishes each day and they were all bland. The other issue was there seemed to be a problem regulating the hot water in our room. To be clear, we had hot water, it just fluctuated between hot and cold without ever turning the knobs (sink and shower).

Fabulous hotel and even better location. Pool was small but nice. Restaurant was great, especially the sunset views…look fwd. to coming back.

First the positive, the views are lovely and the staff is very friendly and professional. The concierge, housekeepers and the front desk staff are all wonderful. Unfortunately, they spent a good deal of time smiling and saying. "I'm Sorry." The rooms are chain hotel quality with worn towels, cheap furniture and stained cracked marble in the tiny bathroom. The bath products are all scented and not high end quality. The bugs on the floor were no extra charge! The pool is NOT heated. I specifically inquired about the pool before we booked and was told it was heated to 81-82 degrees, it was 78. This had been reported multiple times an ignored.There were unsupervised children running all over the pool area hitting balls and using the hot tub to wash their toys. There are so many dogs. I was greeted by a large dog jumping up and barking at me as I enter the lobby one morning. I would love to know what the multi-million dollar added luxury was spent on. My husband called the general manager our first day there and his call was never returned. We later learned he no longer worked there. This was so disappointing that we left a day early. When I was finally able to speak with a management person, they did give us a discount to their credit. We love this area but this property is just not worth the price .

We stayed at L'Auberge Del Mar in June 2025 for a long wedding weekend involving many on site events with friends and family. This luxurious boutique hotel, with ocean views is absolutely lovely. The 5th star at any hotel is always earned by the quality of their customer service. The staff at L'Auberge went above and beyond and certainly earned their 5th star by the friendly and efficient way they take care of guests. While service in all areas was excellent, we especially would like to compliment the valet, bell and shuttle staff out front for the amazing way they took care of guests to keep things moving even when events being hosted at the hotel brought many people to the same area at the same time. These guys were the best....so friendly and helpful. Wish we remembered all their names.....we do remember Sol and Sean and we can't even begin to say enough complimentary things about how well these guys do their jobs. We breezed to and from every place and event we had scheduled with the help of these awesome guys. Keep up the good work! Also, the hotel has been recently remodeled and the rooms are absolutely lovely with many luxurious features. The ones with a view make the stay that much more pleasant. This will definitely be our go to hotel next time we are in Del Mar.

Wonderful location and guest treatment! We held our event here and plan to be back ongoing for this location, staff was attentive and venue is amazing!
