The Grand Del Mar

We chose the Fairmont Grand Del Mar for a golf getaway to celebrate milestone birthdays in both of the couples comprising our foursome. We were all thoroughly delighted with the experience! Our accommodations were above par—spacious, luxurious and comfortable. The buildings and grounds were beautifully designed and maintained, adding to the sense of being away from it all. The golf course was both eye-catching and challenging. The staff were courteous and attentive, contributing to the sense of luxury and convenience. What we planned as a golf getaway turned out to be an elegant escape that we would enjoy repeating in the future.

We love staying at the Fairmont Grand at least once a year. We love to stay in the signature pool rooms right off the adult pool however those rooms were booked. Our room (145) was in the garden area just a short way from the pool. The only complaint we have is that the outside area just beyond our firepit was nothing but weeds. Please take a look as there are several pot holes that could easily be the cause of a broken or sprained ankle. For such a luxury hotel we expected a nicely landscaped area to enjoy while we were sitting outside.

The room was nice and spacious, however, even though we arrived on time to check in we were told that our room was not ready and we had to wait for 3 hours before we could get into our room! Also they gave us only few towels and the house keeping service was very poor for a 4-5 star hotel! Like Four Seasons or Ritz Carlton
