Valle Vista Vacations from ￥163,214

Decent location. Valet insanely over priced. “Rough crowd” in the lobby. Extremely uncomfortable pillows. Cheap hotel but nice restaurant upstairs.

This is a tough review for me because there is nothing negative to say. The staff is really great, everywhere is very clean, and there are an abundance of things to do. We stayed in a Villa suite and it was comfortable. I especially like that the bathrooms have real doors and separate door for the toilet. That’s important when you have family staying together. The pools are small and the slides are best for kiddos under 10. I think it’s super affordable. The decor is dated and the vibe is super quiet all around so nothing really stands out. If you’re from out of town, I wouldn’t say it’s the most convenient location, but if you are looking to do a staycation and get out of the city, then it’s great.

We only stayed one night, but it was great and a short 10 minute walk to the Del Mar Fair entrance. Very convenient if you're planning a trip to the fair.

They have refreshed and updated this hotel since I last visited in late 2024 and overall, changes are good. Staff were very friendly. They are still working out some kinks-restaurant and snack bar couldn’t do room charges, but visitors can pay by credit cards. The family pool is great if you are traveling with children. I did not use the spa, but they had a good menu of choices.

We enjoyed our stay here. We usually have complaints about hotels but I don't think we have a single one. Our kids loved the koi pond and feeding the fish in the mornings. The food was good and staff was friendly. Everything was clean. We enjoyed the cocktail hour. We did order from the restaurant one night and while the food was good, it was $30 for a very tiny portion of meat and some polenta. That was disappointing. The pool and hot tub were great and overall it was a very nice experience.
