That is a FANTASTIC recommendation. I always kick myself for only visting once a season if that. You get the good weather, and the breeze and the sun. You can't ask for more in So Cal.
Hilton Torrey Pines was great. I was upgraded two months ago to a corner suite. Free valet for Diamonds - nice perk! I hear they sometimes give golds free valet too and I have gotten free valet as gold as some Hilton resorts. Front desk did some faxing to a Beijng China Hilton for me for free. No spa in the resort, but you can walk about 100 feet through the loading dock to the Lodge at Torrey Pines and then bill it back to your room. Pricey as spas go, but worth it. Great breakfast. The normal, but it was nice and free and thats how I like it. I think you will like this property. Enjoy!
