Great location on the beach! Loved the courtyard area with games. The pool was great, and the location to local restaurants and kayak tours was all within walking distance. Big plus for us!

It gets you on the water but not 4 or 5 star resort. Would have been cool if they let you know the facility was under major construction. We made the best of it. Restaurant and bar are spot on. We had a couple of drinks the first night in the bar and breakfast down stairs on our way out. Location is great away from the big crowds but everything is walking distance. Booked it as we were driving down south for a couple of days. We would stay again once construction is done.
Corn hole and ping pong table were awesome

La Jolla Shores was the best place to stay and enjoy the beach without crowds, sand or carrying a bunch of stuff to the beach. Open your patio door and you are there. Beach and waves in front of you. Room is spotless, crisp sheets, supportive mattress. Best customer service I’ve ever experienced before, during and after leaving the property. Breakfast on the beach - the best French toast of my life - was like a dream. There is a reason this place has remained as a staple for well heeled travelers. It is simply the best.
