Winners Circle Solana Beach Del Mar Resort

8/10 Good

"Very spacious. Great amenities. Good location. Continental breakfast would be nice as well as covered housekeeping. Great overall though."

Best Western Premier Hotel Del Mar

10/10 Excellent

"Nice room, with balcony and large bathroom. Fire place with outside seating was a nice bonus if you wanted to grab something to eat or drink and hang out in the evening."

L'Auberge Del Mar

8/10 Good

"Terrible restaurant . Beautiful facilities"

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."

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."

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."
