I expected the room to be so much more considering the cost. It’s not worth it. Very overpriced for the lack of quality and inability to have full ocean views. Staff was extremely accommodating and tried to compensate for a poorly designed property.

Very expensive property. Added fees to valet. No choice. Very small pool area. Not near enough seating for number of guests. Beach area is very undesirable. Can’t ride bikes in this area even though they provide them. Nowhere to walk the beach or hike from property. Very limited. Many other beach areas are better choices Wouldn’t choose this hotel again. The people serving at the hotel were all very nice

Absolutely amazing. Loved the view from the coastal view room and the food at Vaga was spectacular. They are very accommodating to gluten free guests. The pool staff were very attentive and the day in the cabana was perfect.

My husband and I wanted to do a staycation as Encinitas locals who never stayed at Alila. I booked the room through Expedia and at check in, to our bewilderment, the front desk agent said that our 2 Queen bedroom hosts a maximum of 2 guests while we stood there with our 9 year old daughter. He then went on to say that for us to stay, we needed to buy a separate room at the ADR ($700+) for our child - a minor. Expedia does not make mention of this when advertising this hotel and offers false info. - like 24 hr. room service as well as the 2 welcome drinks included with the $55 resort fee. My parents live nearby and were able to swing by and pick up my daughter for the evening but we'd have preferred to leave as soon as we felt totally discriminated against as a family at check-in- we were within the nonrefundable booking window so we felt obligated to stay. The front desk agent required me to sign a waiver stating that my child would not be loud or ..... act like a child. When we went to the pool area, there was a sign suggesting that children under the age of 16 were not allowed into the Jacuzzi for the 'comfort' of guests. The hotel's website only 'suggests' that this is a hotel that 'caters to adults' rather than saying it is an adult only hotel where children aren't allowed. That's probably because in the state of California it is UNLAWFUL & in violation of the unruh Civil Rights Act. They are under legal scrutiny, we learned from a quick google search. Shame on them!!!

It was quiet and relaxing. I booked a room with a big terrace and a firepit. It was exactly what I needed for my mommy get away. My only complaint would be the lack of self parking. The valet parking is insanely priced. Also the pool area is fairly small so you might not have a place to lay out in. The staff was attentive and nice.

Sound issues

The room and the hotel itself along with the staff are excellent, along with the views. We had a concern with the privacy and quietness with the rooms that we can hear the neighboring guests talking. I stayed in room 133 and they were at 131. There was a wooden door between us and I guess it was not very sound proof. Also we can hear guests staying right above us walking around in their rooms. I believe the ceiling soundproof was also not done right.
