I have always been a fan of exploring new places, trying new cuisines, and experiencing different cultures. So when I heard about the Estancia La Jolla Hotel Spa in San Diego, I knew I had to check it out. After all, it's not every day that you come across a hotel that promises to transport you to a world of relaxation and luxury. And I must say, I was not disappointed. From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the hotel's stunning Spanish-style architecture and lush gardens.

As I checked in, the friendly staff made me feel welcome and ensured my stay would be comfortable and enjoyable. And over the course of my stay, I discovered that the hotel had so much more to offer - from its world-class spa and delicious dining options to its luxurious accommodations and exceptional service.

In this review, I want to share my experience of one of the best hotels near the University of California, beaches and many other attractions in San Diego, and why I think it's a must-visit destination for anyone looking for a truly luxurious and relaxing getaway.

Accommodations

As soon as I walked into my guest room, I was immediately struck by the natural stone bathroom - it was like having my own private spa! And the plush guest bathrobes were the perfect touch to make me feel right at home.

But what really impressed me was how well-appointed the room was. From the cable TV to the work desk with the high back reading chair, everything was designed with my comfort and convenience in mind.

And let's talk about the bed - oh my goodness, it was the most comfortable bed I've ever slept on. I can honestly say I had the best night's sleep I've had in a long time.

Dining Options

The Estancia La Jolla Hotel Spa has got you covered with not one, but two onsite restaurants! And let me tell you, they are both delicious.

The Greenfinch Restaurant offers innovative cuisine in a beautiful indoor setting, while the Greenfinch Bar offers the perfect spot to grab a drink and relax. And if you're looking to soak up some sun while you dine, both restaurants offer outdoor seating options as well.

But if you're in the mood to venture out and explore some other dining options, there are plenty of great restaurants nearby. Fairbanks Bar is just a quick 0.27 miles walk away, while Peet's Coffee and Tea is also conveniently located at the same distance. And if you're looking for a nice sit-down meal, The Bistro at the Strand is just 0.3 miles away.

No matter what you're in the mood for, there's something for everyone in the area.

I got to enjoy the property amenities of spa and wellness services right on-site! The Spa at Estancia offers massage therapies, facials, manicures, pedicures and more, while the fitness center access has everything you need to stay active.

In addition, each room offers free wifi and a coffee making machine. The hotel also has an outdoor pool, 3 restaurants and plenty more to explore. It's the perfect place to relax and unwind!
