"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."
