The Encinitan Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Spacious rooms, great location."

Del Mar Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It was our first time staying at the Del Mar Beach Hotel, and overall it was a great experience. The hotel staff was friendly, professional, and provided excellent communication throughout our stay. The location is absolutely amazing—you are right on a beautiful beach with stunning ocean views. There is also a great restaurant next door, making it very convenient for dining. The only thing that surprised us was that parking is somewhat limited, but it was manageable and did not significantly affect our stay. Overall, we highly recommend this place and would definitely stay here again. It is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a relaxing beach getaway. Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"

Winners Circle Solana Beach Del Mar Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms were fantastic. The evening staff was very unhelpful and somewhat rude. The day staff was very helpful and friendly. Disappointed in that there was no breakfast although hot coffee was available. Restaurants were nearby and their rooms were set up so if you bought food, you could cook and prepare meals, etc. yourself. My whole group of 11 said they would come back. In spite of the staff."

Cardiff by the Sea Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"The property is lovely and quaint. I love the spacious room with the four-poster bed. The bed was very comfy and the bathroom very clean. The staff were very nice and helpful. The hotel is centrally located close to the beach and restaurants. Everything was walkable. I would highly recommend."
