What a beautiful beach. We stayed in a beach front room and it was beautiful. Great view and we slept with the sliding door open listening to the beach waves while we fell asleep. The beds were very comfortable. Everything was clean and even though they were renovating the pool/spa area we enjoyed the rest of the property. They had fire pits and games in the outdoor common area. But you can’t beat the location. We were able to walk to the restaurants and shops in just a few minutes, and were just steps away from the beach. Perfect location. I be would caution about bird poop, the balcony had a lot of birds flying in and I stepped in poop in bare feet, so make sure you wear sandals or shoes, or look where you step on the balcony.

Room had a terrible musty smell—even running the A/C window unit nonstop did not help. Was charged $40 daily resort fee even though pool and hot tub were out of service. Half the hotel was closed for renovations. Paid for an oceanfront suite for my birthday and the room looked nothing like the pictures on Expedia. The room needed a total makeover. What a serious disappointment!!

It gets you on the water but not 4 or 5 star resort. Would have been cool if they let you know the facility was under major construction. We made the best of it. Restaurant and bar are spot on. We had a couple of drinks the first night in the bar and breakfast down stairs on our way out. Location is great away from the big crowds but everything is walking distance. Booked it as we were driving down south for a couple of days. We would stay again once construction is done.
Corn hole and ping pong table were awesome

La Jolla Shores was the best place to stay and enjoy the beach without crowds, sand or carrying a bunch of stuff to the beach. Open your patio door and you are there. Beach and waves in front of you. Room is spotless, crisp sheets, supportive mattress. Best customer service I’ve ever experienced before, during and after leaving the property. Breakfast on the beach - the best French toast of my life - was like a dream. There is a reason this place has remained as a staple for well heeled travelers. It is simply the best.
