The rooms were old. We had to change the first room because there was no hot water.

The pool area was quite small, but the beach is steps away so not a problem.

Location is fabulous, the service is amazing, the food is terrific and complimentary yoga on the weekends! Loved that weekend events ended early as to not disturbing the guests.

Very noisy neighbors. Small children slamming doors and lots of crying temper fits day and night. Parental shouting.

Not much! Returning in May and holding a graduation luncheon there!

Location, proximity to beach, Sam driving the golf cart to the beach was excellent, relaxing pool and lobby, coffee bar was understaffed on a Tuesday morning but the barista was patient and calm, service was prompt. Room service menu was outdated but not a big deal.

For $900/night, meh. The room was a hotel room, with a view of the parking lot. Bottled water was $6 in the room, mini bar mini wine bottle was $32. I was in a wing that also had conference rooms, so I walked past conference attendees gathering for their breakfast buffet as I walked to the hotel cafe. Breakfast menu was boring, $35 for scrambled eggs, bacon, fruit. Had to valet park, there is no option otherwise. I didn't expect that and didn't have cash to tip the valets, who has cash anymore?

Excellent staff. Krups coffee maker in room. Patio facing a parking lot, ocean view beyond the lot.

The rooms smelled so extremely bad, like sewerage. We requested a room change which was accommodated but the new room also smelled terrible, just slightly less so. It is really wrong to have to pay that money and stay somewhere you can’t breathe clean fresh air. We were told that it is an old building so it smells. The air conditioner hums so much that it caused our floor to vibrate.

For the price point, I would have expected a more upgraded hotel. The lobby is really pretty, but I felt it would be nicer in rooms etc. I understand to each their own, but that was my experience

Incredible location!

The customer service and location are what makes this resort special. We stayed for my mom’s 80th birthday and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay special. The location can’t be beat. The beach and shops are all within walking distance. Who doesn’t love Old Del Mar? Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Can’t think of anything

The staff was excellent, location was incredible, food was very good. And I had one of the best desserts I’ve ever tried in my life! Great experience

The bathroom shower. No hand held fixture. The water pressure was so weak, my daughter and I couldn’t get the shampoo out of our hair. We had to go to a salon across the street which charged us $75.00 per person for a shampoo and blow out. When we checked into the hotel Initially, we were greeted nicely and told our room wasn’t ready. If we presented our ID and credit card, we could enjoy a lunch while waiting..which we did. When my daughter asked for a margarita, the bill informed us that it was $45.00. The server presented a top shelf tequila margarita which I’m not sure it really was…We received a text from the front desk which was literally right next to our table that the room was ready. When I went back up to the desk to the very same receptionist, I was asked to show my ID and credit card again, as if I had never even checked in! lol no The hotel’s spa was closed so we went to a nearby resort that up-sold us constantly to the point of embarrassment at 600.00 for a facial and massage. (NaMara) The TV is old time. No Netflix, Hulu or anything. Just old time cable and old movies for $20.00 a pop. Oh-and after I just placed down $5,000.00 at check out-3 night/my daughter and I sat down at a “cabana” to hang out before the Uber arrived to take us to the airport. While no one was there, we were told to move or pay for a cabana for the whole day. Girl missed out on a fine tip for one little glass of wine…hmmmm. we obviously left. so mean, are they going to call me right now to charge me for watching my own Netflix right now?! I can afford this stuff. I’m not cheap. The hotel is cheap.

The location.
