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!
Probably the best service I have experienced at any hotel in the states (and we have stayed at many of the best). Gorgeous grounds and lots to do! Five stars all the way around! We will be back!

Comfortable accommodations and beautiful accommodations
My family and I stayed in a one bedroom suite for the Thanksgiving holidays. It came complete with living room, dining room table, kitchenette, 2 bathrooms and 2 Queen sized beds and 1 Queen sized pull out bed. To our pleasant surprise, it was impeccably decorated with Christmas thistle, stockings on the fireplace mantle, and even a Christmas tree with decorative wrapped boxes underneath. Small adorable holiday displays were everywhere, toy trains, reindeer, a mailbox to Santa, etc. The staff were hospital and professional. My kids also had fun skating in the glice rink while the adults sat around our reserved fire pit with s’mores and hot beverages. I highly recommend the Fairmont Grand Del Mar as a magical getaway near San Diego.
The property is absolutely gorgeous, the room was spacious and beautifully appointed, and there was a variety of things to do (see the horses, swim, spa, dining, walking, e-bikes, etc) so that we didn't need to leave the property at all if we didn't want to!
Absolutely loved this hotel! It’s in a serene location, rooms are beautiful with an added callout to spacious bathroom with great tub. Pool area is fantastic. Coffee shop and restaurants are delicious. Excellent place to stay!
Property was very nice and clean. Food was really good at the restaurants we had appetizers and drinks in the bar area and lunch at the golf course. Staff was phenomenal everyone was so helpful and very nice.
This is a beautiful dog-friendly resort. Customer service was wonderful. Our main criticism had to do with our room. There was a large stain on the bed bench and random stains on carpet (mentioned both to front desk shortly after checking in). The room otherwise was well-appointed and comfortable. And we will definitely be coming back.
Spacious rooms, great bath tub, salt water pool, amazing jets In jacuzzi, quiet and welcoming, feels like you are somewhere in the Mediterranean yet American hospitality and top notch service
The Fairmont Grand Del Mar is a beautiful property. The staff and service were exceptional. We enjoyed the restaurants, golf and spa. We will definitely return.
