Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa

We came to Estancia for a celebration brunch to celebrate the engagement of my brother and future sister-in-law! Karina was our server and she was absolutely excellent. The food was great, the service was stellar, and it was a great place to build some long lasting family memories. Thank you so much to Estancia and Karina for hosting such a lovely meal and going above and beyond for a special celebration!

Beautiful Hotel, lovely grounds, spacious rooms. Staff was wonderful. Attention to detail and making guests feel welcome and at home is the key objective and was met at every level.

My girlfriend and I just returned from a wonderful overnight stay at the Estancia. What a peaceful, tranquil setting and the service was top notch. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. We’ll definitely be returning.

What an Incredible hidden unexpected gem Hotel and Spa! A family gathering, a little bit of business trip and our stay was fabulous and the staff go above and beyond to make you as happy and comfortable as possible! From Jack at the concierge desk, to Nicole at reception they are in total pros at delivering what well shoed travelers expect. The pool was dreamy! Can’t wait to come back and bring the hubby!

The property itself makes a great first impression - welcoming front desk service, a comfortable room, and pleasant shared spaces, specifically the pool. Unfortunately, the overall experience was undermined by consistently poor service across their dining outlets, where long waits, raw food being served, and severe lack of attentiveness became a recurring theme. Efforts to resolve concerns at checkout initially seemed promising, but the follow‑through did not match what was communicated, leaving a disappointing final impression. Estancia has strong potential, but the service execution and post‑stay reversal of promises fell far short of what I expected when booking. If you're looking for a stress-free resort, I would recommend looking elsewhere.
