La Jolla Luxury Beach Resort

Review of La Jolla Resort (April 17–19, 2025) ⭐️⭐️⭐️☆☆ (3/5) We stayed at La Jolla Resort during Holy Week (April 17–19, 2025), and while there were definite highlights, a few issues kept it from being a five-star experience. What we liked: - The food was excellent—everything we tried was delicious and well-prepared. - The resort grounds and our room were clean and well-maintained, which made for a relaxing atmosphere. - Staff were friendly and helpful, always ready to assist. - We appreciated the Holy Week activities, which added a nice, thoughtful touch to the overall stay. What could be improved: - The shuttle service was extremely disappointing. Delays were poorly communicated and ended up making us late for an important commitment. - After check-out, we hosted some guests for lunch, but we were only allowed access to the day tour area, which felt like a downgrade—especially after being paying guests. A bit more flexibility here would’ve gone a long way. - Our bathroom had some plumbing issues, which was inconvenient and not what we expected given the overall cleanliness of the room. La Jolla definitely has its strong points—particularly the food and staff—but the logistical hiccups and lack of guest accommodation after check-out need to be addressed to deliver a truly premium experience.

Great stay!

We loved our stay at La Jolla! My 3 sisters visited our parents in the Philippines from the US and found it very comfortable. A large family style room with 3 queen beds on the first floor and another queen size bed in the loft. Plenty of hot water to shower comfortably, and a bidet. Would be nice to have had one half bath though, or at least another sink. The beach was nice and clean with soft sand. We were able to walk to the cafe / hut by the infinity pool to order delicious mango, Pinapple, and watermelon shakes and French fries, then the severs brought them out to our shaded chairs on the beach. Would be nice in the future if they had servers come out to the beach area to take orders.... as we would have ordered more! The water was warm and fairly clear, with calm waters. And oh my goodness the sky was full of stars at nighttime! We really enjoyed our massages at the spa. The ladies are petite but have exceptionally strong hands! We enjoyed the delicious buffet breakfast/ brunch that was included in our room rate. A lot of variety including made to order eggs and omelets, and Filipino offerings too. This will be a great place to bring my family when they come with me on our next trip. They had an adventure course, and lots of water activities including jet skis and kayaking which we didn't take advantage of this trip. Such a relaxing stay on our way from Manila to our parents home further north west on Luzon. We were only going to stay for 1 night and extended it to 3! And plan for another nights stay on our way back to Manila.
