I could give this hotel 10 stars!! They went above and beyond!!! All the staff were SUPER FRIENDLY! The Valet guys were awesome. Everyone remembered our names. The room was amazing!! We also did a 90 minute couples massage which was phenomenal! We will definitely be back!!
One of the most beautiful resorts in the US. Every detail of the decor and grounds is gorgeous.
Food doesn't quite match the excellence of the property.
Staff is very helpful, friendly, and professional
We had an excellent stay- the staff were friendly and helpful, room was amazing and the spa was exactly what you'd expect at a 5-star hotel. We will be back!
Our family had a wonderful stay. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, the resort is beautiful, and our room was spacious and comfortable. The food at the restaurant was excellent—we enjoyed every meal.
My son especially loved riding the pony, which was a highlight of the trip for him. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and will definitely recommend this resort to our friends and family. We look forward to coming back again! By Mr. GUO.
This is an excellent resort! From the luxurious guest rooms to the friendly staff and beautiful resort and grounds, we will definitely be returning in the future!
Our stay at the Fairmont Grand Del Mar was comfortable and convenient. The property is beautifully landscaped and feels upscale without being pretentious.
The room was clean and well-appointed, with a comfortable bed, quiet atmosphere, and a pleasant view.
Staff were courteous and responsive to requests, though some interactions could be improved for consistency.
Anil was ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL. There was some slight confusion with our reservation and he made it his goal to not only make sure we were satisfied, but treated us like royalty. I am so impressed with not only the property, but the customer service and the absolute determination to make sure we were more than satisfied.
