The hotel was very beautiful. Had a nice walking trail. There are horses on the property. Lots of activities to do. Tennis, horseback riding, yoga, golf and much more. The rooms were overall clean but not immaculate. There was one live spider and one dead one in our room. We also had dust and spider webs.

Our family had an unforgettable stay at the Fairmont Grand Del Mar. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the stunning surroundings, and our daily walks exploring the beautiful scenery became a cherished part of our trip. Lunches at the Amaya restaurant were a delightful experience, filled with fresh flavors and a serene atmosphere. The in-room dining for breakfast was impeccable; the attention to detail and quality made it a perfect start to our days. Dining at Addison, a 3 Michelin-star restaurant, was truly a highlight of our stay. Chef William Bradley’s artistry was evident in every dish, creating an experience that was beyond just a meal – it was an unforgettable culinary journey. Our time at the pool was equally fantastic. The poolside service was top-notch, and it made our afternoons so enjoyable. The staff across the resort were super friendly and attentive, enhancing every aspect of our stay. The amenities offered at the Fairmont Grand Del Mar are beyond words – every detail has been considered to ensure a luxurious experience. The grand social area with its live band and charming lighting created a quaint and inviting atmosphere, perfect for unwinding in the evenings. Overall, this resort exceeded our expectations in every way, and we can’t wait to return for another wonderful family getaway.
