Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa

Came with the day pass and Phil (Bartender) took great care of us. Immediately made us feel welcome and made us the most beautiful and tasty drinks. Atmosphere is divine. 10/10

We had a great weekend at your property. I want to give a shout out to these employees: Nathan and Phil your poolside servers who are amazing. Couldn’t do enough. Also Karina and Carlos in the breakfast restaurant. The two of them were so gracious and friendly. All in all I was amazed at the hospitality of the staff. It really made the trip even better. Thanks

Amazing hotel and spa near Torrey Pines. Just a quick drive from everything, including a short walk away from Cliffhanger Cafe. The hotel staff are wonderful; the food service is amazing too. We were taken care of by Karina who did a wonderful job; very attentive and helpful. This place is worth every penny; haven't felt this relaxed in a long time.

My partner and I had a lovely stay at Estancia La Jolla, but what truly stood out was the hospitality we received at Greenfinch (one of the on-site restaurants). Our server Karina went above and beyond to make our experiences unforgettable. From the start she was warm, friendly, and genuinely attentive. She remembered to inquire about my allergies each time we dined and made sure each of my orders reflected that — which, as anyone with food restrictions knows, is a rare and much-appreciated level of care. On July 4th Karina asked if she could buy me something for my birthday, and promptly brought me the lemonade I wanted so badly lol. Before our flight home we ate brunch at Greenfinch one last time & she noticed I was badly sunburned. Karina immediately offered bandages and medication for my blisters. That kind of attentiveness and kindness is just above and beyond. Every single meal we had was spot-on. Accurate, timely, and delicious. The short ribs are to DIE FOR. We were devastated that they didn’t serve them for breakfast on the weekends haha. Not to mention on mornings when we were in a hurry, she anticipated our needs and had the check ready right when we asked. Estancia La Jolla, you have a gem in Karina. She brings heart to what she does. Her kindness, authenticity, and attention to detail elevated our stay and made us feel cared for in a way that’s rare to find. Thank you, Karina —you truly raised the bar for what hospitality should be.

We had a great experience at Estancia, everyone was very friendly and helpful. We did mention the recent engagement and birthday of my partner but never really received any additional goodies (which was kinda upsetting especially at the hotel like that). Wouldn’t recommend having a lunch at the Palma but the Greenfinch was great! We had a couple breakfasts and lunches there and never left disappointed. Karina was very detail oriented and made sure all the allergies were written down - especially thankful for that.
