Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa

Greenfinch at Estancia La Jolla is a true gem. From the moment I arrived, the experience reflected a calm, mindful, and present atmosphere that perfectly matches the beautiful garden setting of the resort. The service was exceptional across the board. Sammi and Jose offered a warm and genuine welcome at the entrance, and Karina took great care of me throughout the meal—attentive, thoughtful, and perfectly paced. Manager Anthony clearly leads a team that takes pride in both hospitality and detail. The lunch menu was outstanding. Chef Katy’s crispy skin sea bass was exceptionally well executed—perfectly cooked with a crisp finish, paired with haricot verts, organic grains, and a bright, balanced acidity from tomatoes, citrus, and julienned vegetables. It was both refined and deeply satisfying. And the espresso chocolate tart—simply phenomenal. It honestly rivals the banana crème tart at Roka Akor Scottsdale, which says a lot. A memorable finish to a beautifully composed meal. Grateful for the experience and compliments to Chef Katy and the entire team. I’ll absolutely be back.

It was our first time in San Diego. And it didn’t disappoint us. We attended a wedding at Estancia La Jolla hotel and spa. From the moment we arrived the staff were very attentive. Service was excellent. Fantastic wedding venue.

I recently stayed at Estancia for a friend’s wedding. Everything was perfect — the venue, the food, the room, the pool, the staff! I will absolutely be staying here again — couldn’t have asked for a better weekend. Thank you to the team at estancia for being so welcoming and accommodating!

Estancia is our go to family staycation. This time we chose the grand Ballroom for our 25th anniversary dinner with 80 guests from across the U.S. and brunch at Greenfinch on Sunday morning with half of that crowd. Everyone was delighted especially because of the most excellent service and pleasant guidance from Carlos, Maddie and Karina, our awesome team! They delivered perfectly everything we asked for, and they even anticipated snd provided what we did not think of, They pleased everyone with being right there when needed yet allowing everyone quiet enjoyment. Our guests love the large prawns which wass an endless appetizer. The dinner was memorable and the brunch was outstanding from the buffet. We're grateful for this opportunity to celebrate our lifetime milestone with beloved family and friends in our beloved Estancia. Thank you. and see you again soon!

Lovely two-night stay. Rooms are pristine. Staff is wonderful. Food is very good. However, the pool is outdated and never enough chaise lounge chairs and towels! For the price, one would expect to not have to wait an hour for a lounge chair and two hours for a clean pool towel. There simply is no excuse! If Estancia would build a newer, bigger, prettier pool along with enough chaise lounge chairs to fit with their guest count, this place would be a 10/10!
