chingm2013 TripAdvisor review

Buffet is great. Lots of variety. However it should have soup, crab and/or cooked fish like salmon or halibut. Maybe three to five more dessert choices. Room is good. The window for the bathroom couldn't be shutted so we have to use something to block it. I had difficulty turning on the fireplace. Tennis court is great but it should be free of charge and there should be at least two tennis courts. Glice skating event was great but there should be by default several hot beverage available at the bar due to how cold it was. We didn't know there is hot cocoa and we had to pay and use a paper cup to get the hot cocoa which is kind of a letdown. Breakfast was good at amaya especially the manager there was very friendly. Staff wasn't all good as we asked for coffee refill three times before we can get one. Now here is the worst part, the coffee was one of the worst if not the worst I have ever had. Both at Amaya and the cafe. They tasted really bad. Each was 8 dollars so it made it even worse. You should have coffee like blue bottle or Illy or similar coffee brand. Afternnon tea is great. Way better than what we had eight years ago. It is very good. Only suggestion I have is if there is a way to keep the tea warmer for longer, that would be perfect. Swimming pool is good - nice and clean but it is a bit too standard so it is a bit boring. Me and my family can here eight years ago and we like this place so we still like this place. I hope we will come back soon again. For the price we paid, I do expect more from this hotel including the suggestions I made.

A very Grand Hotel!

Location Location Location ! The views, the service, the decor is all just stunning. Very family friendly hotel with expansive grounds to roam and let the kids run. They also have activities for kids and families to enjoy. Going around the holidays made it extra special and pretty. The housekeeping team was so thoughtful, the service at Amaya was great, the personal Concierge was very helpful, and the team who helped us with booking really took care of us. Would highly recommend for those looking for beautiful event space, this is such a unique and special place.

It was a lovely stay because it’s quite a beautiful place. The hotel was in transition to Christmas and you can tell it’s a beautiful place to visit for the holidays. Overall, experience was nice and the hotel was family friendly. Pros Rooms are nice and spacious. Robes for children was sweet touch Kids eat free, big plus Family pool is big Beautiful grounds to walk around Housekeeping was wonderful and prompt Turndown service was great. Amaya dinner was very nice. Staff was nice. Cons Miscommunication between hotel and restaurants. For example, our dinner reservation was lost at Amaya (made by concierge in advance) and Clubhouse was advertised as open but it was closed for the week but hotel staff didn’t know. Equestrian visit was bit chaotic, staff was overwhelmed and didn’t seem ready for guests. Pool service was good, but not great. Runner kept taking food to wrong tables, out of towels, everything seemed dirty but I think it was off season and hot day they weren’t expecting guests at hotel pool that week. Limited food options, must go off property a lot for basic meals. Cafe for breakfast is expensive and was out of a lot of items. Grounds seating areas are not kept up, chairs and rocking chairs had spider webs or stains on furniture outside.

Overpriced beyond belief

Joy U TripAdvisor review

Go on 20+ trips a year and stay at 5 star hotels. I have never been to a place that tried to rip you off harder than this place. Every single thing is so over priced it is actually unjustifiable. It's not even that I do not have money to spend, it's just insane they charge you for things you don't even do like $70 which includes "using their putting green"

Beautiful property

Stevenmac777 TripAdvisor review

Beautiful property, amongst the nicest in the world, most staff exceptionally friendly. We are from the UK but live in LA - so convenient for us to drive for short breaks. Our girls loved it. We had an issue during our stay and the exceptional Alison at front desk resolved it for us, and she went ‘above and beyond’ (thank you Alison). We will undoubtedly be back

Thank you for your kind words regarding your recent stay at Fairmont Grand Del Mar. We are delighted to hear that you found our property beautiful and that our staff, particularly Alison, provided you with exceptional service. Your appreciation means a lot to us, and we are thrilled that your family enjoyed their time with us. We look forward to welcoming you back for another memorable experience in the future.
