Alila Marea Beach Resort Encinitas

My husband and I stayed here 5 nights while exploring the area. Hotel was very nice. Great location, beds were comfortable, very quiet for the most part. We were there Monday through Saturday and as it got closer to the weekend the resort got busier. The pool and the hotub were nice. I loved the convenience of the coffee shop and the restaurants onsite. We had one incident while at the pool. We ordered food and my husband found a wrapper from the frozen burger patty in between the burger and the bun. We told the guy taking poolside orders. He sent the manager out. He apologized and said come back tomorrow for food and drinks on us. We are not big drinkers and had other plans for lunch so that didn’t really do much for us.

Great experience great rooms great views. Didn't want to leave. Will definitely go back if I get the chance to. Walk right down to the beach was great and literally right there. Would definitely recommend. Food nearby was great . Didn't have a bad meal the 2 days I was there

I do really love a Hyatt. The location is 5* holy cow the views! The amenities were great and the staff was very nice. The room was well appointed. The layout lends itself to privacy. My personal things that I judge by and found it lacking- jacuzzi doesn’t open until 9 am. (Who doesn’t want to start their morning with a coffee in the jacuzzi overlooking the ocean!) Pool food closed at 6 pm and the paper in my room as well as online said 7. I did not want to go to Vaga for $$ to eat so that was disappointing. Some of the awesome amenities were the E-bikes and helmets available for no charge and the breakfast was full of unique tastes that were very well executed. The beach at low tide is great. At high tide is rock/pebble. That is how beaches go so keep in mind when they say resort this is not a sand beach for the kids. Not a comment on the property at all! Just about managing expectations.

Had the best time here on our honeymoon. All of the features were great, staff and customer service was amazing. Pool was great and all of the food was just perfect. They even brought us champagne and a dessert to our room right after we checked in, with a hand written note. We will be back!

Great weekend away for couples. I’d would NOT bring my kids to this hotel. The vibe is very relaxed and i wouldn’t want my kids ruining that for everyone. It is a beautiful hotel and has a killer pool. This isn’t a party pool or family pool; this is a grab a book and truly relax pool. And you can get a good craft cocktail poolside with fresh ingredients. Room service was delicious and fast which we loved.
