- Margaret McGrawMay 4, 2016Maybe the best hotel I have ever stayed at - it feels more like an Italian villa than a hotel. Even the standard rooms are spectacular. Beautiful grounds, close to hiking, awesome golf course too!
I PreferMarch 8, 2013When taking a dip in one of their four sparkling pools, make sure to dive underwater. There is an unexpected surprise!
Gaby DowMay 12, 2013Fresh and expertly prepared fish, always. The sea bass or truffle infused salmon spinach salad w grapefruit is outstanding!
I can't even begin to express how wonderful this hotel was! I hosted an event here 09/24 & 09/25 and the banquet staff were the best!!! THANK YOU!!!
The Grand Beach Service is awesome! Shuttle service to/from Del Mar's 18th Street beach & they set up your beach chair and umbrella for you!- WeddingPRSeptember 21, 2011If you’re fortunate enough to work with Paige Levy, the director of weddings and events, you will be blown away. She is the greatest at making any wedding or event beyond fabulous!
Hannah GMJuly 24, 2015Food by the pool is great, and the Prado suite features two full baths with amazing soaking tubs.
Cigar Grotto Inc.March 26, 2013Pricey, pricey pricey, but if you can afford it, by far the best choice in inland San Diego. Club M is amazing, and the golf course breath taking.
Daniel HiralezNovember 13, 2015Very nice place to stay. It was like a parade of foreign cars and the staff was very friendly. Only down side is WiFi was not very good and cellphone reception in room 279 was a dead zone.
Visit San DiegoNovember 17, 2010Recently The Grand Del Mar opened an adults-only hangout - Club M. Be sure to check it out. It's part restaurant, part nightclub and part sports lounge.
- Beautiful hotel, great and very family friendly, fabulous service
