So clean that even me and my germaphobe habits were happy. Interior design was to die for. Gym was sufficiently stocked. Staff was helpful. Plenty of shade even on hot days. Quiet - couldn't hear my neighbors.

Great vibes, great people, great views, and a live DJ on the water. Couldn’t have asked for a better day out in San Diego. 10/10!

Relaxing property but a little tired. Like the horse stables theme throughout and the position is good but no direct access to the beach so a car is essential. The main issue was a large conference which took over the hotel and we were there for a romantic break. Felt as if we were at work and lower priority guests. Reception staff were great with good recommendations for beaches and restaurants to escape to. Pool area delightful but filled with conference attendees.

The Estancia La Jolla is stunningly beautiful. And the staff is the absolute BEST, attentive, efficient, and kind. We recently spent a week at the Estancia celebrating our youngest son's wedding. Special kudos to Kai Hope, Director of Guest Experience, who made our stay EXCEPTIONAL. We will return!

Second stay there, last one 9/2025. Same experience: large company event takes over the place (e.g., no outdoor dinner seating at Mustang&Burrow, all reserved for event); not the relaxing resort atmosphere they advertise and charge a lot of money for.
