Villa was awesome, clean and stocked accordingly. Amazing view of La Jolla Cove. The pool was quaint with comfy loungers. Staff was super accommodating, nice, attentive. The service at the Med was on point. Room service was terrific and quick!

Erin

Beautiful historic property . Great location for walking around town and going to the cove.

Maureen

United States of America

Great service. The gentleman at the pool that runs the show does an excellent job all around. Great hotel in the perfect spot.

Brent

United States of America

This is an extraordinarily beautiful hotel, with very competent and accomodating staff - notably at the front desk and concierge. The lobby bar has one of the most beautiful views I have seen - a life size picture postcard of gently swaying palms over the surf and swell of the Pacific Ocean. The only oddity of the hotel is that is does not seem to employ enough cleaning staff. Your room can be cleaned at any time from 8 am to mid afternoon, and you have to request the turn down service (and still it is random if someone will come!). Odd given the price of the rooms (top-tier by any standards). Breakfast also is very ordinary - better to eat out. Overall however, you will love your stay at the hotel. It is special, and you will feel a little special staying there.

Beautiful hotel with lots of charm and nooks/crannys to explore. Gorgeous restaurant, bar, lobby. We stayed in a stunning room 11th floor with wonderful view. Room beautifully appointed. Highly recommend.

The breakfast at The Med was delicious. The eggs were prepared to perfection and the hash browns had onions and peppers. The yogurt and berries was also excellent. The fruit was ripe and delicious. The fresh squeezed orange juice was also great.

This is the most gorgeous property in La Jolla for a week-end get away. It is romantic, well located and all amenities! I go every chance I get. Dozens of fine restaurants within walking distance, shops, galleries -- it is a perfect place to unwind by the sea.

This hotel needs to pay more attention to its other guests rather than just being a wedding venue, particularly when that entails closing half the already small pool area for a wedding party. We were there 2 nights and they had 2 weddings. The wedding guests cram in the bar and are noisy. It would have been ‘ok’ had our tv worked but apparently they had WiFi problems - for 2 days! Small rooms with limited sockets - difficult to fix in a period property Window wouldn’t open more than 4”.
