Perfect getaway! Great location. Everyone at Estancia from the valet, front desk, restaurant, house keeping and baristas were so friendly and attentive. Everyone walking by would smile and say hello….every one. The gardens around the property are gorgeous and they even treated our dog like a VIP guest. Our room was always spotless and we really loved having soft live music each night in the lobby/bar. We will most definitely be back!

Beautiful tranquil resort with spectacular gardens. Dog friendly! Service exceptional. Restaurants are fantastic. The resort is not in La Jolla proper but a 20 minute ride to downtown.

Nice property with beautiful landscape and amenities. Eric and Rian were our servers at the restaurants and they were excellent along with the food. Staff are all friendly and helpful.

Estancia is a special place! The property is gorgeous and so relaxing, with beautiful succulents and blooms everywhere. The grounds include many little seating areas with comfy chairs and couches and fire pits for time to sit and visit with a coffee or cocktail. It is also located in a great area-- close to shopping, beaches, hiking trails, and restaurants. I stayed here with 3 friends for a Girls Trip. We enjoyed relaxing at the pool with cocktails and lunch from The Palma Bar and Grill. Our spa treatments were incredible- I highly recommend the Honey Escape Massage! The relaxation lounge in the spa has the most amazing, heated lounge chairs where we sipped champagne after our massages. The entire staff at Estancia are friendly, helpful, and professional. The concierge, Jack, was extremely attentive and responsive. He went out of his way prior to and during our visit to make sure we had everything we needed (hiking information, spa appointments, resort credit, etc.). Soon after we arrived, we received a bottle of champagne and a fabulous fruit plate from him. What a nice surprise! The front desk staff (especially Chelsea) greeted us immediately, and we were impressed with their professionalism and efficiency. Although we used Uber, Joey and the whole valet team greeted us each time and assisted us with any questions. The staff really pays attention to their guests. The Trading Post Cafe has great grab and go breakfast items and yummy coffee drinks. Elias was one of our favorite employees at the Trading Post. Also, be sure to visit the Lobby Bar, which is one of the prettiest lobby bars I've seen with very unique and beautiful cocktails. Whether it's a girls trip, a romantic weekend, or a family vacation, I highly recommend Estancia! You will love it.

Our family had a wonderful stay at Estancia La Jolla. The property is beautiful, relaxing, and incredibly well maintained. The location is hard to beat. Close to everything we wanted to do while still feeling like a peaceful retreat. What really made our stay exceptional, though, was the hospitality. Every team member we interacted with made us feel genuinely welcome and went out of their way to ensure our family had a great experience. A special thank you to Daniel, Cecilia, Shaughnessy, Acacia, Jack, and Kai for their kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail. Each of them made a positive impression and helped make our stay memorable. I'd also like to recognize the entire valet team, who were consistently friendly, efficient, and welcoming. A special shout-out to Joey and Nick, the valet team lead, for their outstanding service and the warm hospitality they showed our family from the moment we arrived. It's clear that Estancia La Jolla has built a culture centered around genuine hospitality, and it shows in every interaction. Thank you to the entire team for making our family feel so welcome. We had a fantastic stay and look forward to returning.
