I expected the room to be so much more considering the cost. It’s not worth it. Very overpriced for the lack of quality and inability to have full ocean views. Staff was extremely accommodating and tried to compensate for a poorly designed property.

Very expensive property. Added fees to valet. No choice. Very small pool area. Not near enough seating for number of guests. Beach area is very undesirable. Can’t ride bikes in this area even though they provide them. Nowhere to walk the beach or hike from property. Very limited. Many other beach areas are better choices Wouldn’t choose this hotel again. The people serving at the hotel were all very nice

My husband and I wanted to do a staycation as Encinitas locals who never stayed at Alila. I booked the room through Expedia and at check in, to our bewilderment, the front desk agent said that our 2 Queen bedroom hosts a maximum of 2 guests while we stood there with our 9 year old daughter. He then went on to say that for us to stay, we needed to buy a separate room at the ADR ($700+) for our child - a minor. Expedia does not make mention of this when advertising this hotel and offers false info. - like 24 hr. room service as well as the 2 welcome drinks included with the $55 resort fee. My parents live nearby and were able to swing by and pick up my daughter for the evening but we'd have preferred to leave as soon as we felt totally discriminated against as a family at check-in- we were within the nonrefundable booking window so we felt obligated to stay. The front desk agent required me to sign a waiver stating that my child would not be loud or ..... act like a child. When we went to the pool area, there was a sign suggesting that children under the age of 16 were not allowed into the Jacuzzi for the 'comfort' of guests. The hotel's website only 'suggests' that this is a hotel that 'caters to adults' rather than saying it is an adult only hotel where children aren't allowed. That's probably because in the state of California it is UNLAWFUL & in violation of the unruh Civil Rights Act. They are under legal scrutiny, we learned from a quick google search. Shame on them!!!

It was quiet and relaxing. I booked a room with a big terrace and a firepit. It was exactly what I needed for my mommy get away. My only complaint would be the lack of self parking. The valet parking is insanely priced. Also the pool area is fairly small so you might not have a place to lay out in. The staff was attentive and nice.

Perfect. Property, architecture and interior design were beautiful and well thought out. Room was roomy with picturesque views. Staff was amazing. VAGA restaurant was delicious with more stunning views. The Coffee Box was a great spot for quick delicious breakfast. The Pocket served wonderful cocktails.
