Beautiful location with fantastic views

My stay was delightful, especially with the stunning ocean views and the vibrant dining scene. The artisan bread at the restaurant was particularly memorable, and lounging by the pool offered perfect relaxation. However, for $800 a night, I expected a bit more comfort, especially when it came to the balcony that had no seating.

La Valencia’s dining scene is pure gold! The artisan bread at The Med will have you dreaming for days, paired perfectly with their local wine selections. Plus, the lounge area offers killer views to sip cocktails while catching rays. Such a chill spot to unwind after a day of exploring!

But with all that charm comes some hiccups. Paying $25 for parking on top of hefty room rates? Ouch! And that itty-bitty balcony? Needs some serious upgrades to make the most of that sweet ocean view.

I recently stayed at La Valencia for a business trip and was impressed by the elegance of the property and the professionalism of the staff. The Classic King Room Ocean View offered stunning views and a comfortable workspace, ideal for my meetings. The dining options were exceptional, and the restaurant's ambiance provided a great atmosphere for unwinding after a long day. Overall, the location was perfect, with easy access to local businesses and attractions.

The Wi-Fi speed was inconsistent during my stay.

The Classic King Junior Suite was clean but dated, with the ocean view obstructed. The location was the highlight, perfect for local attractions. However, the breakfast options were underwhelming and overpriced, not living up to expectations. The inconsistent Wi-Fi also detracted from the experience.

Not for families, unless you enjoy loudness

The location is great. steps from the beach and beautiful views. I mean, the pool had this fun bar with good drinks, and the atmosphere was lively with young folks hanging out. My kid enjoyed swimming, at least.

But even though it wasn't cheap, I guess the experience was acceptable if you're into parties.

Let’s talk about what really matters

The views from the room were gorgeous, and the hotel felt historic with its elegant aura. The pool area was quite inviting, making it easy to soak up the sun. Unfortunately, the service was inattentive, and noise disruptions from events marred our relaxation. Dining prices were steep without a corresponding quality. Good location overall.

The ocean-view pool was the highlight of our stay, perfect for soaking up the sun! The room was comfy too, but tiny balconies are a bummer. Overall, a great experience! 🌊

would recommend

The view from the pool was stunning, and we loved relaxing in the comfy lounge chairs while enjoying drinks from the poolside service. The heated swimming pool and cozy jacuzzi were perfect for unwinding after a long day of exploring. My only minor gripe was that the bathroom could have used a bit more storage space for our toiletries. Overall, great vibes here! 🌊

I spent a few days at La Valencia and enjoyed the charming historic feel of the place. The view from my Classic King Room Ocean View was absolutely stunning, providing a perfect backdrop for relaxation. The dining experience was top-notch, with the artisan bread at The Med being a standout. Poolside service was great. Mike really made us feel special. The location is perfect, close to local shops and galleries, making it easy to explore. On the downside, I noticed a few things that could use improvement. The parking fee was a bit hefty at $25, especially on top of the already high room rates. The balcony could definitely use some upgrades, as it felt underwhelming for an ocean view. Also, the Wi-Fi speed was hit or miss during my stay, which was frustrating. Overall, a lovely stay but some details could make it a truly exceptional experience.

Strongly recommend for a city break

Charming hotel, convenient location, with a lovely poolside snack bar and friendly staff who made our stay enjoyable. After a good night's sleep in our Classic King Ocean View room and delicious breakfast, we were just a 40-minute drive from the train station, ready to explore the local area.

i recently had an amazing stay at la valencia, and it exceeded my expectations more than my last visit to a san diego hotel. the pool service was fantastic, especially with mike making us feel special all day. the stunning views from my classic king room ocean view coupled with exceptional dining made for a perfect summer holiday.

Stunning, Stunning, Stunning

From the breathtaking ocean views at the terrace restaurant to the charming Spanish-style architecture, my stay was an absolute delight! I sipped unique cocktails crafted by friendly bartenders while enjoying live music, creating the perfect ambiance I was looking for. The attentive service and gourmet meals, especially the artisan bread at The Med, made every dining experience unforgettable!
