Days Inn by Wyndham Encinitas Moonlight Beach ★★

📍 133 Encinitas Blvd, Encinitas

The Encinitan Hotel & Suites
8.3 (105 reviews)

The Encinitan Hotel & Suites ★★★

📍 85 Encinitas Blvd, Encinitas

"Checked in with Jeff very easy yet not very personable. Amenities extra $15/day even if you’re not using. Gym pool spa internet parking buffet breakfast. No disability parking in front door entrance only back (which was to far away from room) no help offered with luggage (only self service heavy push carts) Did not ask if I wanted help or if I was going to utilize these amenities. Room smelled of heavy use chemicals to clean room. (Could taste it). Ocean view claim with balcony was actually only seen if you walked and peered to the left. Bed not the most comfortable. Exit room door would slam at night very loud. Walk in tile shower floor slippery while showering and shower head had very low pressure."

Brisa Pacific Hotel Encinitas
8.4 (101 reviews)

Brisa Pacific Hotel Encinitas ★★

📍 410 N Coast Hwy 101, Encinitas

"Located next to the train tracks this somewhat shabby hotel is definitely thin on amenities and would be more of a 3 star range in regards to condition of the room, quality of the comfort of the beds, and overall feel of the place. It’s got a rundown sort of feel and needs a serious updating"

Twelve Senses Retreat
9.7 (80 reviews)

Twelve Senses Retreat ★★★★

📍 1004 Nardo Road, Encinitas

"Highly recommend booking your stay at Twelve Senses Retreat — you will not regret it. You can see right away how much thought went into the design and details; everything is beautiful. It’s truly a hidden oasis in a great location. And the breakfast is to die for!"

The Encinitan Hotel & Suites ★★★
"The location is okay, up in the mountains. You can drive directly up. It's about a ten-minute walk from the hotel to a street with plenty of food options. A little further on, you can reach the beach. The room facilities were a bit damp; there's room for improvement."

Twelve Senses Retreat ★★★★
"Our one-night stay at 12 Senses was exactly what we had hoped for: a beautiful, clean room, a quiet night of sleep, kind service, delicious breakfast. The “Fire” room is elegant, thoughtfully designed, beautifully appointed with a wool mattress and topper; great linens; a spotless tile floor, a gas fireplace (instead of a tv); and creative soundproofing - check out the recycled corrugated leather and felted wall….. The room came with lovely special touches: two bottles of Prosecco on ice and loose leaf chamomile tea that was fresh and delicious - chocolate, too. Wonderful coffee. Owner Anke has mastered green design as well as great hospitality. Although we didn’t make use of the rooftop lounge and open-air kitchen, they are beautiful and inviting. A more private location might have brought our stay to the next level, as the building sits on a well-traveled corner across from a school in a dense neighborhood. Nonetheless, the area was absolutely quiet the night we were there. Much gratitude and admiration for the vibe and beauty at 12 Senses!"

Alila Marea Beach Resort Encinitas ★★★★★
"The location is half an hour's drive from SD. If you are a nearby resident, it would be more suitable for a vacation. The hotel facilities are relatively new, but there are few surrounding supporting facilities. It is suitable for lounging in the hotel. The beach and other entertainment facilities are also average. This is the only hotel in the United States that can It's alila if you're bringing children. It's not recommended to bring children. There's not much to do."
