Alila Marea Beach Resort Encinitas, a Hyatt Luxury Resort

Alila Marea Beach Resort Encinitas, a Hyatt Luxury Resort

10/10 Excellent
"We came to celebrate my birthday and go to Del Mar to the horse races. Alila is really convenient off the 5 freeway. Super close to all of the restaurants, and it does help that the hotel is right in front of the beach. For that morning walk along the beach. This hotel was super clean. From the moment you come into the lobby all the way to when you walk into your room. Everyone at the front desk was super nice and professional. We liked every single one of them. Our room was clean, and our bed and pillows were super comfortable. We loved our balcony where we were able to step out and look at the sunset, and have morning coffee. The shower was literally like having a spa moment with their eucalyptus leaves wrapped around the showerhead, so with the steam of the hot water, you were able to smell and take it all in and relax. Definitely planning to stay here again."
