Amazing hotel, location, and service.

Beautiful hotel and one employee Diego went above and beyond helping retrieve an item of ours that fell behind a crevice on property during a wedding. We really appreciate it and will always remember La Valencia fondly because of Diego!

La Valencia Hotel had a Christmas Tea this past year that I attended with some family members. I loved the ambience of the hotel as soon as I stepped into the main lobby. All the staff were attentive and friendly. The room that the tea was held in had an ocean view and the weather that day was beautiful. The food and drinks were exceptional … and the “wow factor” for me was when the food carriers were brought out and ‘mist’ was slowly billowing from them caused by dry ice! So fun to see and made a special moment in the event. My family is hoping to make this a family tradition every year.

This was a great experience and the views were everything. Walking distance away from the ocean and many restaurants and shopping. Will definitely stay here again!

Loved my stay here! The hotel is stylish, clean, and the staff is very friendly. The only tiny thing I would improve is the sliding bathroom door, it doesn’t provide much privacy. But overall, still a fantastic experience! I would definitely come back.

Beautiful Wedding Hotel - Extraordinary Ocean Views - Exceptional Service - Amazing Banquet!

10/10 7/23/25 Update We recently returned for another visit. The stay was wonderful as usual, but this time we enjoyed the pool. Tina took such good care of us. She provided the perfect level of service. She was attentive but not obtrusive. If I have one recommendation for management, I think an updated sound system would really be nice, and I don’t like loud music, just nice background tunes. Thanks again for a wonderful stay 🩷 La Valencia is beautiful. The valet staff was very friendly upon arrival. Then we met Ana at registration. She was a sweetheart. She’s knowledgeable, efficient, and seemed excited to have us arrive. The beds were super comfortable and the room was perfectly clean. Joey at the front desk saved us later at night by finding a wine opener and opening a bottle of wine, haha. We had brunch with Santa in the Mediterranean Room the following day. Wow, best Santa ever! Michelle was our server and treated us very well. She was thoughtful and attentive. We had a large party and ordered just about everything on the menu. Everyone’s food was delicious. The Christmas decor throughout the hotel was beautiful. Everyone in the restaurant, bar, lobby, and patio seemed to be enjoying the festive atmosphere. What a joy to visit the La Valencia! We can’t wait to go back.

Wonderful light show for the kids ✨

We stopped in to grab a quick lunch before the La Jolla Christmas Parade on Sunday, the team was so sweet to bring lunch in a to go box so we could make our way down to the parade route while my 3 year old ate some French fries. I wish I got a second order or fries because they were so good!

This was our second time staying at La Valencia and it was a wonderful stay. Sitting by the pool is very relaxing and the drinks you get poolside are delicious. The food poolside is also good and you can order from the kids menu if you're not too hungry. We had dinner there and their vegan option was well received by my husband. We did have one issue with the room but it was dealt with swiftly. Will definitely stay here again!
