Fairmont Grand Del Mar

Service was amazing, thank you!

We had an amazing one-week stay at the Fairmont Grand Del Mar, truly a luxurious and memorable experience from start to finish. The property is stunning, service is top-notch and every detail is thoughtfully curated. A special shoutout to Christien for the exceptional hospitality and for making our stay feel so personalized and comfortable. Also, heartfelt thanks to the chefs for the incredible culinary experience, every meal was simply outstanding! Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a relaxing and premium getaway. 🌟

We spent three nights and four days at the property for spring break along with my wife and two children, along with a few friends who havechildren themselves. The property was nice, I guess a little dated by modern standards for hotels, but it was set on a beautiful location. We had use the Chase travel benefit, so we had a few perks including $70 of credit per day for breakfast, and $100 resort credit. Unfortunately, experience fell very short of our standards. The hotel was not very child friendly, the only perk was that kids ate free if you ate at Amaya. The pool service, unfortunately began at 11, but there was no one to be found with assisting with moving umbrellas to help get us in the shade if we were to use the pool before then. I felt that the hospitality was very poor. The highlight of the experience was upon checkout they were apologetic and extended an additional credit towards the overall stay. Not a great place I would come back to for a vacation with children. The food at the restaurant was very flat and uninspiring, despite heap prices, felt the quality of the food did not reflect the exorbitant prices. I have stated that numerous other five star resorts and felt the service to be five star in nature, but the food, the service and hospitality were very poor. I would try other alternatives. This might be a better setting for older, a couples, or business conferences or special events, but not a great place to host children.

We very much enjoyed our stay. The property is beautiful, great food, and a great room. We loved feeding the horses and relaxing by the pool. I was very impressed by the gym, which had brand new high tech equipment. Adan, our server at Amaya for breakfast was terrific and very attentive. Sophia served us at the adult pool, she was very sweet and took great care of us. Christian at the front desk was also very helpful.

Really nice hotel with large rooms and fantastic double sink bathrooms located in a beautiful setting. 5 star in every way except the on site restaurant which was understaffed and with food that was just ok.
