8/10 Very Good! (1,010 reviews)

Nice hotel. Easy access to everything. I have stayed here a few times. A little noisy in certain rooms, make sure to ask for a room facing the pool or Avenida street. Breakfast from 6-9 am. Fitness center is good, pool is clean. I will stay here again.

9.6/10 Exceptional! (909 reviews)

My family and I stayed in a one bedroom suite for the Thanksgiving holidays. It came complete with living room, dining room table, kitchenette, 2 bathrooms and 2 Queen sized beds and 1 Queen sized pull out bed. To our pleasant surprise, it was impeccably decorated with Christmas thistle, stockings on the fireplace mantle, and even a Christmas tree with decorative wrapped boxes underneath. Small adorable holiday displays were everywhere, toy trains, reindeer, a mailbox to Santa, etc. The staff were hospital and professional. My kids also had fun skating in the glice rink while the adults sat around our reserved fire pit with s’mores and hot beverages. I highly recommend the Fairmont Grand Del Mar as a magical getaway near San Diego.
