Our experience at Estancia La Jolla was excellent from start to finish. The staff truly sets this property apart. Everyone was welcoming, attentive, and eager to help, often anticipating needs before they were even asked. It was a pleasure working with such a dedicated team, and their outstanding hospitality played a significant role in the success of our event. We look forward to returning!

Wife and I had a wonderful 4 night stay at the Estancia. Overall good value for the price. Pros: - Breakfast weekday at Greenfinch was excellent. Wonderful coffee, good options. For the weekends, they have a buffet option which I felt was overpriced for what was offered. - Grounds were gorgeous. - Room was basic but lovely. Nothing special - but very comfortable and clean. Views into the courtyard were magnificent. - Pool was beautiful and well laid out. Poolside service, drinks, and food were TOP NOTCH. - Gym was good for a quick workout (weights). Was never crowded. Cons: - Poolside could use more chairs/lounges as it got crowded in the afternoon. People started hitting up the pools around 10AM. - Pools could use more cleaning as there were a lot of bugs and some scum in the corners of the pool, and the sauna wasn't as clean. Also poolside could use better sweeping as we saw some bandaids around the pool for multiple days.
