The Encinitan Hotel & Suites

The Encinitan Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent
"The best part of my staying was the location because we love to go to moonlight beach which is ver my close to the hotel and also walking distance to lazy acres market which we love because you can get food and breakfast, the breakfast is very basic and it's sad that they don't offer pancakes or waffles , also disappointed that I've saw the lady that works there microwaving the eggs and sausage links, I've ended up going to lazy acres and bought healthy and real food instead but if your on a budget it's totally your place to have breakfast, I wasn't able to use the gym because they closed it at 10 because it's located on the second floor and I guess there's rooms underneath , other hotels offer 24 hour gyms which is great but not this one , the pool and the jacuzzi were amazing and the location also so we'd definitely come back for sure but not for the breakfast part for sure.
