Apr 08, 2026Excellent Vacation Spot
Beautiful location and facility. But it was really the staff that stood out - true professionals. We hit a few snags on our trip, not the hotel’s fault, and they went out of their way to assist. Highly recommend trying the archery and stables!

Apr 08, 2026Our Experience
The hotel is beautiful and the staff helpful and kind. It certainly is clean and shiny and well maintained but is starting to show its age in terms of decor. There was some fraying of the carpet in our room, and the drawers in our big dresser would not stay closed. Those were minor things. In general, I am okay with a traditional setting but I do think the rooms need to feel more updated. The adult pool is a great pool if you like to swim laps. Note that the rooms facing the fountain can be a bit noisy. That said, I would go back.

A wonderful resort with great front desk leaders
The grounds and the rooms are beautiful. They have charm and sophistication. The front desk staff was wonderful, especially Front Desk Head of Office Christian, who very professionally handled a comment that I had during my stay. This is a wonderful resort and I'm looking forward to staying here again,

Apr 03, 2026Beautiful hotel and most uncomfortable stay
It is a beautiful property. This was our third visit as a family since 2017. This time, everything was off. Everything… We felt like we were intrusive the entire time. The cafe didn’t have most drinks- chai, matcha, smoothies, etc. at the beginning of the week, for the entire week, in anticipation of an event starting the following weekend. The cafe, Cent Anni, were basically not reordering anything the week in anticipation of a large event starting the next weekend. We did not learn this until the tail end of the week. The Amaya was only open our first day of our week visit, then closed for a private event and remained closed for some Ralph’s coffee branding event for several days. The pool had no towels both times we visited and on the weekday, the chair covers were not on and the seats were dirty/moldy. The last day, the pool only had kosher wine as an alcoholic option at the bar. Similarly, the cafe was closed the last two days, or rather, open only to a private group and we had to eat breakfast with limited options offsite of the hotel, at the golf clubhouse. The woman at the cafe was dismissive and unhelpful- I asked where we could eat as Amaya was closed and the cafe was closed to the public, and she offered us coffee- we were with our child, so I reiterated the question of where could guests actually eat… We could not use the baci courts for the last few days due to private event(s). The tennis and pickle ball courts were fine but we had one family challenge us about our reservation only to apologize that the hotel had messed up their reservations and another group vultured around trying to move us off early from our reserved time. The spa was lovely but they never disclosed to me when noting the spa lunch options that only kosher food was available- I overheard this while I was checking in at spa reception to the attendant on the phone and concluded after the Cent Anni cafe experience earlier that day. There were lots of people for the large event with divisive political hats and tshirts walking around the hotel. We did not find it was a relaxing or inclusive atmosphere. There also were three San Diego police cars that stationed out front of the hotel by the end of the week due to the event. The hotel really should have completely shut down for the private event or disclosed to the other guests that there would be limited food/drink and activities due to the large event they were hosting. You are basically captive on the property so a heads up that there were limited options for the week long stay would have been appreciated. Also, the employee vibes were off- twice at the clubhouse there was some employee drama/ordering supplies issues or scoldings that were discussed out in the open for guests to observe. Overall, the stay was uncomfortable and we will not be returning or recommending.

Extraordinary Experience at the Fairmont
We had such a remarkable stay at the Fairmont. This is the hotel with the best customer service in the world. Pre-trip, they connected with us to ensure our group was taken care of. During the stay, multiple times they randomly gifted our three kids some cute gifts. The Kids Explorers was incredible! The pickleball / tennis courts were gorgeous. The rooms were clean and beautiful. Best hotel experience, and I literally am in 100 hotels/year
