I spend the day at the pool in a cabana with my girlfriends celebrating my bachelorette party. We had a wonderful time! The service was friendly and the food was delicious. This place is iconic. I just wish we had more time there. I will definitely return!

Best Way to kick off Bridal Celebrations, Poolside at La Valencia!!
We had the BEST day at the La Valencia pool celebrating our bride-to-be! La Valencia was SO accommodating and helped us reserve cabanas and let us decorate our little poolside home base. We spent the most gorgeous sunny day kicking off the bachelorette festivities and it honestly could not have been a more perfect setting! And a HUGE shoutout to Michael, our waiter (and unofficial photographer!), who truly made the day for us. He was incredibly attentive, helpful, fun, and so accommodating from start to finish. He kept us taken care of all day, and even jumped in to help capture photos of our group. He really went above and beyond and felt like part of the celebration by the end of the day! Cabanas, cocktails, sunshine, our favorite girls, and amazing service — it was the absolute perfect way to kick off the bridal celebrations. Thank you, Michael and La Valencia, for making it such a memorable day! 💕🥂☀️👰🏼♀️

A deeply disappointing experience.
What a deeply disappointing experience. I was on a business trip and asked my husband to join me, thinking we could have a nice time off-hours, given my trip was to La Jolla. So instead of staying in the (cheaper) hotel my company would pay for, I moved us to La Valencia because I had heard it was great — and of course I paid the difference in the room rate. Well, my goodness, what a bad decision that turned out to be — and one that cost us a LOT of money. Where to begin? Our room had not been updated in, perhaps, 20 years. The room itself was scruffy, needed a paint job, a bathroom door that actually closed, and new furniture. We had to call repeatedly for room cleaning. The restaurant was mediocre. The front desk was not helpful, friendly, or responsive to a request about moving the bill from one credit card to another. There was no sound-proofing between our floor and the one directly above us. In short, I would never stay there again — at any price (to say nothing of the very expensive price we paid). And for what it’s worth: In a lifetime of travel, all over this nation and all around the world, I have never been moved to leave a review of a hotel where I stayed. Until now.

Just had a great vacation! Loved La Valencia Hotel...so nostalgic and very well done! Our room was in the West Wing with two queen beds, down pillows and crisp hi thread count sheets; it was a completely refurbished room that still maintained it's history. The staff, from the moment we pulled up throughout the very end of our stay, was friendly, courteous and extremely helpful. The grounds were impeccable and in a perfect location...on one side is the ocean and the other the village. We would definitely stay there again!
