Perfection in every sense! I wanted to take my boyfriend somewhere relaxing and opulent for his birthday and happened to come across a Groupon for Estancia La Jolla Hotel and Spa. I took it as a sign and after much research I decided to book a reservation here. The Groupon included a one night stay, appetizer or dessert of your choice and a bottle of wine.

It's inconspicuously located betwixt the Pacific Ocean, UC San Diego and Torrey Pines golf course. All the aforementioned indicate an exalted environment. Once you're on the premises you are instantly hit with an aura of welcoming privacy. The valet was urgent yet calm in their approach to the car and the front desk staff was sincerely polite and friendly. We were greeted with complimentary margarita vouchers, the free wine and dessert voucher included in our groupon AND champagne! All the makings of a spectacular greeting.

The hotel grounds was truly breathtaking. Lush green grass, succulent shrubbery, horizon tickling trees every element rhythmically created the sense of an isolated Rancho Estate.The pool area was by far one of my favorite of its many amenities. The cabanas allowed for privacy while while the pool beckoned social interaction. The jacuzzi, equally enchanting, was the perfect remedy for the crisp-cool fall air. Our visit was during off-season so the experience was amplified by the peaceful voidness.

The rooms were charming. We were fortunate enough to get a handicap deluxe room so their was plenty of space. The bed was adorned with supple pillows and an incredibly plush comforter which provided an almost womb-like coziness . All the ingredients for a tranquil slumber.

What was wonderful was the entire hotel seemed like your own personal estate. It was pretty barren of hotel guest from what I saw, but they had plenty of staff to aide and assist at all times. Everyone was so helpful and friendly from the front-desk to the on-site restaurant. Everything about this place is perfection and I would love to go back!
