Pros +
- The staff, the room and location
- I liked the view, the pool area, and I especially loved that it had a full kitchen.
- Location and ease of walking to different places.
Cons -
- The beds need updating
- The air-conditioning was not working and it was a hot day. Opening the windows did not help too much. The room was not cleaned well and there was a trash can full of trash and old food in the kitchen. Hair on the floor.
- There is no AC. It was hotter in my room than outside. I couldn’t put makeup on in the bathroom. it’s an aged property but the staff does a great job taking care of it. If i had noticed there was no AC i would have not booked it.

Very comfortable and quaint. The view and location are amazing.
Ongoing construction on the slope by beach
Location and the size of the complex, perfect getaway without the crowd
Stayed in the studio wish the mattress had a better support
I will say I will. I liked loved everything about the property, the easy access to the ocean and the park. The staff is super and beyond friendly. The rooms are clean, very spacious. The entire complex is very quaint you would really love to stay. What I loved about the studio was the high ceilings that made you feel like you were staying in a larger room. I loved the fact that we had a view. Thank you very much for the stuff for getting that done for me. Even though the previous room I had was changed, the parking is free. Easy access. It's just out of the entire hotels in that area. I think this is my favorite. I will definitely come and stay again. Thank you so much to Ricky Torres and the older gentleman at my checkout, which I'm sorry I do not remember your name. Like I said stuff was extremely friendly. Was very grateful for them giving the amenities for my boyfriend's 50th birthday. They did a very cute birthday cake with towels and champagne and even the most sweetest happy birthday card. They went above and beyond. Thank you so much!
Unfortunately the one thing that I did not like unfortunately is that at the very last minute which was the day before I had booked a two bedroom and the switched me to a studio. Therefore, I had to change a lot of plants with friends that were coming the next day to stay because of it and I'm crossing my fingers that I do get refunded the difference and the reason why I even said anything about it is because I called that same day and the day before to make sure everything was okay because it was not allowing me to do a pre-check-in and they made sure and said that everything was good. 3 hours later I get the call saying that something's wrong with the room
The location is fabulous!
Our room was comfortable but it faced the street instead of the ocean.
I loved the attention to detail and creative spins with the experience. There were towels in the shapes of animals and specially folded napkins shaped as bows. Makes the experience more memorable. Location was perfect and amazing price.
I love the location, the amenities the parking lot!!!! (Del mar is impossible for parking)
NO A/C….there are some studio units that are SO hot they are like terrariums and they face the PARKING lot which is noisy. So here is the thing…DO NOT book on Booking…Book on Wavecrestresort.com…..and you can Pick your unit….
Great place to stay for a quick or long getaway. We got a pretty nice kitchen set up. Pool spa and bbq were awesome to utilize. Bed was not that cozy cause it was a Murphy bed. Everything was clean, easygoing, and accessible when it came to accommodations. Staff was helpful,kind and informative. View is incredible! Location is perfect for walks and people watching or even public transportation to see along the beach coast! Super close to grocery shopping or restaurants
Bed was more for space versus comfort
Parking, friendly staff, location, charming
Murphy bed
Location, full amenities (except a/c)
No a/c
So gorgeous location is just above the Del Mar surf break so SO fun for a surf trip
Check in time was pretty late would be nicer if I could’ve been able to come around 2pm it was 4pm I think but it’s a small concern. Right next to Amtrak train so occasional train noise too
Location couldn't be better!
Furniture is a bit out dated and retro...the ac didnt work and a couple light fixtures weren't working but not bad considering the price and location
I loved how close it was to the beach and had its own reserved parking for gues. ABSOLUTELY LOVED THE KITCHEN AND BEING ABLE TO COOK!!!
wish I had better view of the water
The location was so awesome.We barely drove the car at all. Everything was within walking distance. The room was clean and ready when we got there, We didn't need anything..pretty much everything was provided for a three day stay. Staff very helpful and courteous. Will definitely be back.
location and friendly staff
view from the room and no AC
It was well located near the water. The facilities were well maintained and quiet.
Our unit was an inside unit. We would have preferred one with a view. One issue was the pull out sofa. The mattress was way past its best due date and wouldn’t close properly . For the cost of the stay this proved disappointing. Some small compensation would have been appreciated.
Location was wonderful! Helpful and pleasant staff who accommodated our every need. Clean rooms and lovely grounds!
