Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa

The Estonia La Jolla was a fantastic stay! Our favorite part was the pool. The food and drinks were delicious and the service was exceptional! Phil our server took the best care of us. The room aesthetic was beautiful, the grounds are perfectly maintained and the overall experience was a 10 out of 10.

The property is absolutely beautiful and the staff are lovely. The room is spacious and extremely well kept. Food is delicious. Wish I could have stayed longer.

My family and I had lunch at Estancia and were fortunate to be served by Karina. Despite dining with two children under two, our experience was fantastic. The food arrived quickly, and the buffet was perfect for keeping the kids happy. Karina truly went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of. Thank you for a memorable lunch, we’ll definitely be back!

Fantastic stay—food and bev were on point, landscaping was breathtaking, and every staff member made me feel very welcome.

My family recently stayed at the Estancia and had a pretty frustrating experience, especially traveling with our infant. From the start, things felt off. The front desk associate wasn’t welcoming and didn’t offer any help getting us situated with our son. Every time I went back up to ask for help, she came across dismissive and inattentive, which made it harder than it should have been to get basic support. The biggest issue was that I had requested a pack n play two weeks in advance, and when we arrived, there wasn’t one available. Instead, we were given a dirty crib, which is unacceptable for an infant. We ended up having to leave the hotel and drive about 10 miles to buy a pack n plays (which we could have brought our home had the hotel advised they had a limited amount. There were other issues throughout the stay as well. The hotel didn’t have enough high chairs, and the only one available was broken, which felt like a safety concern. We had to hold our son during meals. Housekeeping was also unresponsive. Our room never got cleaned despite multiple calls and texts, and glassware left outside our room sat there the entire stay. I understand there was a wedding going on, but it really felt like the hotel was understaffed and not prepared to handle guests. Overall, it added a lot of unnecessary stress and took away from what should have been a relaxing stay. I wouldn’t come back, especially with a young child. We travel frequently domestically and globally and this is the only hotel we have experienced this issue of adequate and clean children’s seating and bedding options.
