“A very nice resort in need of some updating...”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 September 2011
4
people found this review helpful

We stayed on an RCI exchange and it definately was not what we were sold when we bought our timeshare, the examples we were shown were much finer and more upscale than this turned out to be. However, with that said, we would definately stay here again.

The suite was clean, large and well maintained. There were minor issues with toilets that did not flush well and bad places in the dry wall. The carpet could use some help, not that it was dirty, just worn. We had a full kitchen with small fridge and a dishwasher. The pool area was very nice and lush with lots of flowers, trees and plants and the hot tub area was clean and well maintained. Security was a visible and constant presence and would verify that cars had tenant stickers before waving them thru to guest parking on nights that were busy for the restaurant.

There are really nice restaurants close by and they stay busy indicating the quality of food. We didn't eat at the resort restaurant but it was busy every night. The beach is less than a mile away and there was ample beachside parking. The Del Mar Racetack is right across the street. I-5 is right up from the resort and San Diego about 20-25 miles south and Orange County is 1 hour North so you have the best of both worlds here, proximity to the attractions and a place to return to that does not have the insane crowds.

We talked to a man who has been coming here for 20 years and he said every year there is something updated or upgraded so it appears they work on this resort regularly. It was quiet at night and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

“Enjoyed our stay but lobby staff need a refresher course on customer service.”

Our room was quite comfortable...had just about everything we needed for the weekend. Lobby staff was extremely rude and had absoleutely no people skills whatsoever. Staff seem to be missing in action at this resort.

“Great Location for Del Mar & the track”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 June 2011

I love staying at this resort any time of year but particularly during the Del Mar Summer Meet. The shuttle is a great conveinence and at only a $2 tip is a bargan for getting in & out of the crowded parking lots. Red Traction, the adjacent restaurant, is pricey but phenomenal! The rooms are a bit dated and could use some minor repairs, but overall it is a decent well equipped place to stay just north of San Diego.

“Nice, Clean, great for families with kids.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 January 2011

Stayed from December 26 to Jan 1st. Great location in Del Mar, right across the street from the Racetrack and next door to a great seafood restaurant call The Fish Market. Within a quarter mile of the I-5, which allows access to San Diego to the South, and Orange County, and LA to the North.

We had a 1 bedroom suite, which was very nice, especially since it had two bathrooms, and a ready area for the ladies to put on make-up and such.

The room itself had a decent kitchen, the refrigerator was quite a bit larger than I expected. We were able to fit everything we needed into the fridge, milk gallon, pop, syrup, butter etc... The living room was nice with a flat screen on the wall, DVD player, and a small closet for those staying in the living room. The couch pulls out to a bed.

The bedroom was very nice with a queen bed, large closet, dresser, and flat screen.

The fitness center is okay, but manageable. The cardio equipment is nice and up to date. There are two flat screens to watch while working out.

Just about 1/2 mile away is a grocery complex with a McDonald's, an Albertson's with a Starbuck's inside, a Coffee Bean, and quite a few other shops. Across the street is a movie theater. Of course, the beach is about a mile or so away. Hope this helps.

Great location with very old furniture, Was afraid to walk barefoot on stained carpet. Management needs to completely redo this units to match the location. Highest resort cleaning fee I have ever paid for a short stay. Would not recommend until it's remodeled.
