Reviews for Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa
Can’t wait to come back!
We did three nights and had a balcony room over one of the interior gardens. The restaurants and pool bar were excellent. Very close to everything and the hike to Blacks Beach is a must.

Historic charm with fantastic hospitality
I visited Estancia on a business trip and was blown away by the historic charm and warm environment. The pool and spa are a must, and access to electric bikes makes local sightseeing a breeze. Phil, the lobby/pool bartender, made a killer Oaxacan Old Fashioned. He has a warm, welcoming demeanor that makes you feel at ease the moment you sit down...attentive without being intrusive, and easy to fall into good conversation with when I wanted it. You can tell he genuinely takes pride in his craft. If you're staying at Estancia, be sure to stop by the pool bar and ask for Phi. I will definitely will be returning soon.

Worst Birthday experiance
I brought my kids and wife after staying 2 times previously. When we arrived the room had a terrible sewer odor. We we able to switch rooms, the rooms were not as clean as previous and outside our room there was a hose and bucket for what appeared to be a A/C leak. We took our kids to the pool which was extremely cloudy and dirty. Service was not available from the many employees stationed. Drunk people everywhere. My kids thought the pool was disgusting. Asked for towels and never received any. We decided to leave and not come back with our kids. The next issue was when we went to dinner. We had to flag down our waitress just to get attention after waiting for about 20-30 min. I ordered a steak for my birthday dinner which came out burnt and well done. Overall the experience was memorable for all the wrong reasons. Bad Service. Unpleasant smells and dirty. Bad dinner. Dirty cloudy pool. Everything just continued to get worse throughout our stay and we decided to leave. Not how I was looking to spend my birthday.

Lovely server
We had such a wonderful breakfast at Estancia La Jolla! Our server Karina was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel so well taken care of. She truly made our morning extra special. Amazing service!
