Fairmont Grand Del Mar

What a perfect experience! Dylan at the fri t desk made a huge difference in our overall experience. He found us the perfect room where we could sit outside and just enjoy the sun and silence. I appreciate his and the entire staff’s hospitality. Our massages were also amazing - that spa was clean and calming. Thanks to Dylan and the entire staff for a relaxing experience.

Stayed here for a business-related trip in North County San Diego and had an excellent experience overall. The property is quiet, beautifully maintained, and feels very private compared to busier hotel areas closer to downtown. Staff was professional and helpful throughout the stay, and the atmosphere was relaxing after long workdays. The location also makes it convenient for reaching Del Mar, La Jolla, and SAN airport routes without dealing with heavy city traffic. Would definitely stay here again for both business and leisure travel.

I held my bridal shower at the Grand Del Mar and I am writing about my experience so that other people spare time and money by considering other venues to host their events instead of here. For my bridal shower my bridesmaids and I decided to do a tea at the lobby lounge of the Grand Del Mar. I have been to tea here several times before and it’s honestly a gorgeous venue. The tea is average, but I still wanted to host my shower here. The sales manager was helpful at first and offered a discounted rate on the room we were renting which convinced us to book even thought it was pricey. After confirming my booking it was pulling teeth getting in touch with the point person for my event. She was not on time for scheduled calls, took several days or sometimes over a week to get back to me on event details, she did not listen to my requests, I had to ask her several times to confirm my booking, etc. It was very stressful working with her. My bridal shower (tea and salad for 20 people no extras) came out to over $4,000 when all was said and done. Only one server was dedicated to my event and although she did her best, everything was lacking. The event was 2 hours and I feel like for $2000 an hour, there should have been much better service, much better communication, and more accommodations. This venue does HUGE events that make them way more money than my tiny bridal shower, and that is how their service made me feel. It felt like because my event was minor in comparison to their larger events, my event was put on the back burner. I absolutely do not recommend hosting events here unless money is not an object to you. If you decide to book here manage your expectations!

The rooms were beautiful and spacious. The service is next level and the food with some of the best that I have eaten!

Beautiful hotel and grounds. Pleasant & professional staff.

We truly enjoyed it my wife and I, we were just trying to relax in one place we didn’t want to leave. The pool, jacuzzi and pool service was up scale. The room and room service was grand. Property was well kept, we enjoyed our 4 day stay and appreciated the quality of service the Fairmont provided. We appreciated MR. Stevin Habba and his commitment to make sure we enjoyed our trip. Many Thanks to all Fairmont employees we appreciate your hard work. Richard/Susan G.

We were very disappointed that this five star luxury resort had horrible Wi-Fi. I was not able to attend a very important Zoom meeting for work which has had a negative impact with my employer. We ate dinner at Amaya and although the presentation of the food was beautiful, the portions were extremely small. I ordered the squash ravioli, and I had to look for the five tiny squash with filling the size of a nickel. I don’t mind paying top dollar for quality food at a resort, but the prices for what you got were ridiculous. The customer service at this hotel is outstanding, with staff going above and beyond for guests. I would definitely give them 5 stars.

Wonderful staff, food and service was fantastic. The IT gentleman Gaudencio helped me with my computer and Cash at the bar was wonderful.

We had a fantastic stay at the Fairmont San Diego! A huge thank you to Dylan, who made our check-in and reception process incredibly smooth. Peter from Amaya was wonderful, providing excellent recommendations and attentive service, and Jack was a total pro, helping us navigate the local area with ease. The entire team is exceptionally friendly and a special thanks to Dylan for all the last minute assistance due to Flight delays made us feel right at home. We can't wait to return. !!!

We booked a golf package that had 2 rounds of golf included. Fantastic rooms & service. We had a beautiful poolside room and enjoyed the adult relaxation pool. The only snag we had was with the included golf. For one of the rounds, the pro shop messed up the reservation time. They were able to fix it. However, my husband was not able to have a caddie. He said the course was top notch but disappointed about the caddie. We will definitely stay here again despite this issue. We will just confirm everything before we arrive with the pro shop.
