We had a nice long weekend stay here, prompted by the thread here.

The SO and I thought every aspect of the hotel was fantastic, truly 5 star service and amenities in every way.

We mostly lounged around on site, hitting up the excellent gym, and the soothing pools/hot tub, reading books and enjoying the peace and quiet of time without kids/pets.

It seems like a prior poster had issues with the concierge; our experience was the polar opposite.

It was like the concierge read our minds - setting up with a well timed table at Jakes with a ride there & back.

We tried two of on site dining options.

Amaya was good - albeit slow.

The Clubhouse Grill was also good, and uncrowded.

We ventured into Del Mar to try Jakes and a Peruvian place - The Secret Bar.

Both of those are recommended too.

Thanks to all the prior commentators for their insights.

We rarely stay at these kinds of resorts, but this was actually worth the money.
