Our family had a wonderful stay. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, the resort is beautiful, and our room was spacious and comfortable. The food at the restaurant was excellent—we enjoyed every meal. My son especially loved riding the pony, which was a highlight of the trip for him. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and will definitely recommend this resort to our friends and family. We look forward to coming back again! By Mr. GUO.

Our stay at the Fairmont Grand Del Mar was comfortable and convenient. The property is beautifully landscaped and feels upscale without being pretentious.

Anil was ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL. There was some slight confusion with our reservation and he made it his goal to not only make sure we were satisfied, but treated us like royalty. I am so impressed with not only the property, but the customer service and the absolute determination to make sure we were more than satisfied.
