I don't know what some of the complaints on this site were about. We had a fantastic experience at the Grand Del Mar. Facilities are top notch, better than any domestic resort I've stayed at. The attention to detail in the construction is quite striking. The resort was built like a custom home and not like a hotel in the... more

I just came back from a stay at the new Grand Del Mar in San Diego. I have never stayed at a property with so many amazing amenities. (Check out the hike in the preserve with a Naturalist on staff! WOW) The pools were great and there is even a quiet pool when we needed get away from the kids.... more

I have to stay upfront I didn't stay here... just came for a nice resort lunch. I left very disappointed... and about $45 poorer. All for some subpar sandwiches from the deli. Long story. The hotel is located in a suburb of San Diego. A very nice suburb, but nothing special. It's profoundly landlocked, which for a resort hotel is... more

This was a nice resort and staff was ok. Website is filled with awards saying it is one of the best hotels in America. This is a joke. If you like a big hotel with slow service crowded with none hotel guests this is the place to be. Yes, the hotel is nice both inside and from the outside. The... more

It's obvious that no expense was spared when building this property. The architecture and surroundings are beautiful, and it's a good choice for a golf or romantic getaway. Here's the good and the bad from my point of view: The Good: Rooms are beautiful and spacious, with all the 5 star appointments. Bathrooms really are stunning with big tub and... more

The Grand Del Mar was a very nice hotel. It is somewhat overpowering with a lot of marble flooring and high ceilings. You can defiantly tell the resort is new. When we asked for Ice no one knew where it was. Finally the ice arrived by room service and we felt we had to tip. The hotel is not in... more

My husband and I just returned from a six night stay at the Del Mar. The facility is absolutely stunning - the stone work and fabrics are breathtaking. If you have the good fortune (and it takes a small fortune) to stay here, be sure to pay attention to the details of your surroundings. The concierge service is phenomenal -... more

My husband and I had the pleasure of visiting the Grand Del Mar in late December/early January. The hotel and grounds are beautiful, and the staff members are cordial and attentive. We stayed in a suite overlooking the golf course, and it is obvious that no expense was spared in building the facility and furnishing it. All of the rooms... more

I've had the opportunity to stay in several top-notch hotels both in the States and abroad: the Plaza in New York, The Met in London, a Days Inn in Paducah (okay, scratch that last one). The Grand Del Mar takes the best elements of all the hotels I've ever had the pleasure of temporarily calling home and rolls them into... more
