Wonderful resort near UCSD

The service was exceptional, the pool and hot tub were great, spa services delightful and food terrific (if somewhat overpriced which is to be expected at a place like this). All the staff were very helpful.

The property of Estancia is truly wonderful and beautifully maintained gardens are magical. People working in the hotel are nice and helpful. The rooms are kind of average and I would expect crispy white linens for bedding, which was not the case. In addition, the breakfast was a total disappointment! We were served black-burned toasts, and 3 days old cooked and cold potatoes. Chia pudding was horrible, also it looked like it was prepared very long ago and inedible. I couldn't believe my eyes how this can pass the QC in the kitchen in this hotel. All together it is a true disappointment that the food is half preprocessed and such a low quality not matching the property elegance and the elevated concept this hotel is advertised.
