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!

We had a very nice dinner here. We had a variety dinner. Lamb, chicken, shrimp and pasta. All of it was well prepared and presented and we all enjoyed very much.

Timeless, classy, beautiful and romantic. We had our wedding welcome party here in the veranda overlooking the ocean. Beautiful views, incredible service, and amazing energy. The best hotel in SoCal.

When I have Casa Bonita withdrawals I just get blacked out and go here and it’s basically the same

We had a villa facing the ocean with a private balcony. We loved everything about the hotel and highly recommend it! We will definitely be back.

Live music , great view
