    Excellent Equestrian Center

    This hotel is a stunning property. The architecture is Mediterranean with many fine features. We spent our birthdays here and New Year’s Eve. We used the spa and the Equestrian center and enjoyed New Year’s eve at Avaya restaurant. I want to acknowledge the staff at the Equestrian center. It is run by two very capable women who truly care for these horses. Not only are the stables immaculate, but the horses are healthy and so well groomed that one can tell they are truly loved. Please acknowledge these thoughtful, caring professional women. Sincerely, Gina and Joe M.

    Westside

    I believe this was my third trip to Grand Del Mar. It is always beyond compare, and this time was no different. In fact, it was elevated, due to the Christmas season! The entire place was decorated in truly spectacular fashion. The most incredible feat of mastery was the ability to light up all the trees! If you have ever experienced the driveway, then you will know what I mean. The Del Mar is truly a cut above, it’s a home away from home for me, at this point. In fact, it was like that the very first time I set foot there! Take notice of the details like the scented candle, constsntly bioinformatics the lobby. Apple, I believe. I had hoped to bring one home, but I ran out of space! Do yourself a favour, stop by!

    Fabulous Property

    My wife and I recently celebrated our 50th anniversary staying at Fairmont Grand Del Mar. It was outstanding. Christian and staff were so welcoming and helpful. So was concierge Jay Paris. Our room was amazing, so was food. The Grand is perfect.
