After careful research we selected La Valencia Hotel as our property to host 25 women for a theater and food themed weekend in La Jolla. It was the perfect choice and our main contact Cesar was a DREAM to work with, The property is as stunning as the location we were visiting. The flowers! The walkways that wind through the property. Access to the coastline is easy and the views from the property were gorgeous. Everyone loved gathering for breakfast on the outdoor patio to get us fuel for our day. Thoughtfully Cesar suggested we use The Med Patio as our meet up spot for our various departure times. Was perfect! And spacious and convivial. We were there to see a show about Julia Child so of course we had to include a cooking class as one of our activities. Cesar put us in the perfect spot - in the ballroom with a seaside terrace. Ample space for the group to gather, cook, and enjoy our meal together. A memorable evening in a memorable space. Thank you Cesar and the entire staff at La Valencia Hotel. We had a GRAND time.

Fantastic girls getaway, gorgeous property, great location, wonderful room. However, what made the stay truly memorable was the gracious hospitality of concierge, Shraddha Carlin. She started our trip with a warm welcome and celebratory glass of champagne and continued to extend genuine, caring, knowledgeable hospitality throughout our stay!

Shraddha was amazing and left us with a memorable experience. She showed us all of the amenities that La Valencia had to offer and made us feel so welcomed. The rooms were breathtaking and can't wait to come back to visit the property.

Get a room with ocean views. Can’t beat the location. Wonderful, friendly service. Beautiful pool and comfy loungers. Steps from La Jolla Cove and all the restaurants and shops on Girard, etc. very efficient valet. Rooms are a bit worn and overall wear on resort due to oceanfront location likely, but still made for a comfortable, lovely getaway.

This was the worst stay I have ever had at a hotel that charged such a high price per night. You are absolutely paying solely for the location and that is absolutely it. Our room had a broken AC, and we had to be moved to a super loud room. Rooms are all old, musty smelling, dirty, old/loud ACs, very LOUD. We came for a relaxing vacation and couldn't get any sleep whatsoever. Loud live music at night, loud cars, loud people passing by, can hear the people above you even using the bathroom - omg never ever ever ever again. Stay from hell.

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!
