Beautiful hotel. Issues with our reservation, they weren’t able to pull up our info with the reservation number. Wasn’t the best start after a long flight. Other than that, no complaints

We found a super last minute deal on expedia for this high end hotel. They allowed our dog to stay for $150 for 11 nights and so this was great! Staff was friendly and the room was clean and cozy. Great location that is close to jogging trails, beaches, nice little town of Encinatas and the beaches. Definitely would recommend this to others and stay again if the price was right! I would take note on the valet parking as this is an added fee of $35 a night! You can park down the hill and walk up...

This hotel was perfect for what we were looking for - an urban getaway across the street from a beach yet within a couple blocks of shops and superb restaurants. Beautifully appointed but undergoing reno's this fall, so excited to see the new look in 2017. We are already planning our return. Staff was superb, food excellent. Didn't use the award-winning spa as it was pricey. Nice services for additional $35 daily resort fee - shuttle, bikes, wifi, beach supplies, tennis rackets. The pool...
