Located in the charming community of La Jolla, just minutes from Torrey Pines Golf Course and 14 miles north of San Diego, Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa is a stylish retreat reminiscent of an early California ranch estate. The property - listed on Condé Nast Traveler's coveted Gold List and Hot List - pays homage to its rich history by emulating and utilizing materials from the original 1880s equestrian compound. The business center resembles the original caretaker's cottage, the intimate hotel lobby was created from the old farmhouse, and Mustangs & Burros, the hotel's rustic rancho-style bar, was inspired by the tack room. Even the restaurants reflect the old spirit in their design, menu concepts and gracious service.

Phil is more than a mixologist he is a flavor magician. Best cocktail I’ve ever had and I’ve had a lot. Flavors were out of this world

There is a lot of hidden service charges. And make sure to check your bills -- I had to correct several pricing issues and non-applied credits. Once over the phone and finally at checkout where I noticed it still wasn't fixed. Staff is nice, but everything in this hotel is built to gouge you on prices even with credits. The hotel was very confusing to navigate too and I'm guessing they prioritize to do weddings and other events rather than people trying to use hotel credits from premium travel cards. (It makes sense business-wise since one will obviously net them more money -- but just keep that in mind if you are looking to use credits here.)

Felipe is 10/10 the best bar tender. I loved the service that he gave me at the pool side bar! Customer service is amazing :) and drinks are phenomenal!
