I absolutely love Encinitas. Other towns in San Diego and Orange County are stunningly gorgeous BUT nothing is like Encinitas. Amazing, relaxed vibe. Natural, cozy feel. Food and dining options here are so good. Let's not even get started on the surf

The recent road work on Hwy 101 has improved the walking, biking and driving conditions. Much safer for bikes now. Encinitas has been our favorite place for over a decade. Nice chill vibe.

Encinitas is excellently located for for my business in Del Mar and Rancho Santa Fe and made for easy early drive north the next morning. It seems to be a "bargain" beach own in the San Diego area. Sort of "down home" beaching.

It's nice, clean but a train runs through the center. If you love public transportation you'll love the proximity to the coaster. Lots of shops with unique flavor. Locals are jerks and entitled.

"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. "
"I can see why they have such high ratings. Very thought-out details. BEAUTIFUL and peaceful. Exactly the place to recharge. Healthy clean food snacks and breakfast provided. I lost weight and my blood sugar levels were the best that I have ever seen.....can't wait to go back."
