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.

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.

Perfect. Property, architecture and interior design were beautiful and well thought out. Room was roomy with picturesque views. Staff was amazing. VAGA restaurant was delicious with more stunning views. The Coffee Box was a great spot for quick delicious breakfast. The Pocket served wonderful cocktails.

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.

Just a gorgeous property and every single staff member was outstanding and I mean that. I had more interaction with Marty and he's just wonderful, helpful and knowledgeable. I have arthritis and had I known our room would have been so far from the lobby (151) I would have asked to perhaps switch. Loved the Coffee Box and Vaga.The room appointments were spot on and amazing, best shower ever especially the eucalyptus in the shower. My complaint of the room is a lighted makeup mirror on the wall would have been great OR the kind of vanity mirror that is lit all the way around. The bathroom is lit too dimly to do makeup. To us, there isn't enough hustle and bustle at this lovely place and probably purposely no real gathering space. We didn't know the property is one for tranquility,but so glad we tried Alila Marea. So lovely but perhaps not for us. Thank you to the entire staff.

Most of the staff were kind and helpful. The rooms were clean, no turn down service, not the end of the world, but for the cost, expected. The amenities offered were a very nice touch, and the gentleman who assisted with the bike and board rentals was wonderful. Food service is the area that is below standards and needs to be addressed. We had cocktails upon arrival and dined at both restaurants during our stay. The food was less than stellar, the staff was kind but considering we were one of two or three guests, the servers were inattentive, service was slow,(they seemed to be carrying out personal business..yes we could hear the personal conversations being addressed on the phone and with others while guest service was being neglected). You have a beautiful location and could really make this resort a go-to destination. However, some of the most basic hospitality skills have seriously missed the mark. Our comments are honest, not meant to be cruel. Moving forward, we hope the areas we feel are deficient will be addressed and improved.

Awful experience

From checking in after 4 pm while requesting a early check in for my husbands birthday I was told my room would be ready and was being finished up to only find out we sat around for 4 hours because we thought our room was almost ready indeed it was not even close” then we finally get checked in after 4 pm and we receive someone else’s luggage up to our room with none of our expensive luggage or belongings. THEN we order food only to have it take almost 2 hours and receive the most disgusting non editable food and hard short ribs! This was the worst experience I’ve ever had

It’s a nice hotel but definitely not worth the money. For the price you get a room, pool anf gym access. Otherwise there is a charge for everything. Poor signage around the hotel for accessing the lobby.

Stunning new hotel on the beach with large stylish rooms, great restaurants and fitness center with beach access and pool with sunset views. Close to all the great North San Diego beach towns...although you will be tempted to enjoy the property and never leave! We will be back in May with the whole family. Great for adults and also fun for smaller kids.

Had a fire pit room on the 1st floor, which made up for a cold foggy one night stay, couldn’t see the sun, coastline or sunset. The bushes and shrubbery around the fire pit would be nice if they had been watered, the shower was awesome but would be better if the frameless glass door was aligned properly and didn’t sound like glass on glass when it closed ready to shatter. All in all beautiful property, but like most of my Hyatt experiences, would be elevated if maintained better. Passed the white glove test for room cleanliness, bed and pillows were great, dining was high priced but enjoyable.
