A Memorable Stay During Our Daughter’s Move-In at UC San Diego

My wife, eldest daughter, and I had the pleasure of staying at the Fairmont Grand Del Mar last week while moving our daughter into UC San Diego — and the experience was nothing short of exceptional.

From the moment we arrived, the service was top-notch. A special thank you to Sage, Guest Services Supervisor, who gave us a warm and thoughtful welcome. We also appreciated the professionalism and hospitality of Nenad, Nathan, and Amanda in the executive office — they truly made us feel at home.

The accommodations were excellent, and the adult spa pool team provided engaging, attentive service that elevated our relaxation time. It was also a pleasure to meet Swamy, Director of Engineering, who was actively out on the property ensuring everything was running smoothly — a great sign of leadership. And a shoutout to Shea, Food & Beverage Manager, whom I met while enjoying a morning coffee — your passion for hospitality shines through.

Thank you to the entire team for making our stay so memorable. Keep up the great work — we look forward to returning!

A Perfect Wellness Experience at the Fairmont Grand Del Mar
My recent visit to the Fairmont Grand Del Mar was truly exceptional, highlighted by one of the best pool yoga experiences I've ever had. The entire experience was magnificent, from the beautiful surroundings to the superb service.
Our instructor, Mehdi, was simply wonderful and highly accommodating. The class was not just a workout but a genuinely fun session, set in the perfect atmosphere. The pool's temperature was just right, making the yoga in the pool a refreshing and invigorating activity.
Special recognition must also go to Kaylin, who was superb. She ensured every guest stayed hydrated and was enjoying themselves, adding a fantastic layer of care to the day.
Everywhere you look at the Fairmont Grand Del Mar, the surroundings are beautiful, making it an idyllic retreat. I truly enjoyed my time and the incredible attention to detail from the staff. I look forward to coming back very soon!
