Top Del Mar Hotel Reviews

L'Auberge Del Mar

10/10 Excellent

"Staff great. Rooms very nice."

Les Artistes Inn

10/10 Excellent

"This was a really unique property and everyone we encountered was great! The room had a nice quiet and private outdoor space. We were within walking distance of really great restaurants and bars. The walk to the beach was also not bad. We will definitely stay here the next time we’re in Del Mar."

WCH at Wave Crest Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent property. Great staff."

Wave Crest Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Bryce at check in was very helpful and informative. Check in was a breeze thanks to him. We booked a room last minute and it was ready when we arrived. Clean and spacious. A good kitchenette for cooking some meals. Easy parking in the lot. Close to the park and easy to walk to the shore or to eateries along the main road. We’d happily stay here again. Worth noting, there was no AC in our room, which was fine for us. We saw a few ants, so be wary of leaving food out."

Beach Condo in Del Mar, steps from San Diego's finest beach

10/10 Excellent

"We had a lovely stay at the condo in Del Mar. The place is clean and well equipped for a beach vacation. It is a very short walk to the beach and beach chairs and towels were available to use. There were 5 of us staying and everyone was pleased with our stay here."

Hotel Indigo San Diego Del Mar by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"."

Sand and Spa Retreat in Del Mar

8/10 Good

"We’ve stayed at this house for the last several years. The recent remodel made all the difference for us in returning as it was getting a bit rundown. Great job on the remodel and attention to detail with providing all the essentials! The yard is very dog friendly annd secure. The proximity from door to shore can’t be beat. We had a few issues at check in with the TV, missing lighter for the fire pit, and the hot tub was a bit funky. Shawna and team quickly addressed all issues and we were operational in no time. I’d recommend getting rid of the auto-on light feature in the master bathroom and entry way. Any toss or turn during the night would trigger the lights to turn on. We resolved it by placing a towel in front of the sensor. Other than that, it was a great trip! Thanks for the stay!"

The Blue Pearl - 2 minute walk to the beach!

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in the Blue Pearl over Labor Day weekend - 2 kids and 2 adults. The location is what makes this place amazing! Also the fact that we were able to bring our dog. We really enjoyed our stay and would come back. The beds were comfortable, the property management company was helpful and communicated well with us. They provided plenty of beach gear as well. We knew ahead of time that the home did not come with AC, and it since the weather was in the 80s, it was definitely hot trying to sleep at night. Fortunately, they provide plenty of fans to help with air circulation and cooling. The only thing I wish we would have known ahead of time was that the beach does not allow dogs from June 16th - Labor Day Weekend. We made it work though, and had an amazing stay."

Del Mar Haven | Coastal Modern Retreat with Resort-Style Pool & Spa

8/10 Good

"This is a very nice and comfortable house. It is centrally located and close to Del Mar, shops and restaurants, and the beach. The check in process was seamless, the house is very clean, the beds are comfortable and the pool and hot tub are great. The only drawback is that it sits on a very busy road and during peak hours there is traffic noise in the backyard and in the upstairs bedrooms."
