FAIRMONT GRAND DEL MAR

The Fairmont Grand Del Mar continues to be one of my favorite destinations and hotels.
This visit was again excellent and I cannot wait to return.  While there is a distinct difference in the hotel during COVID with the main lobby bar being closed and no entertainment in the lobby on weekends, the place still has that sanctuary feeling that takes you to another place and away from the hustle and bustle of the city.  While I did not take many photos on this trip, I do invite you to click the links below to see why this place is so special.

DON'T LIKE THE CONCRETE POURED HERE.  USED TO BE PLANTS

I always enjoy a meal or two at Amaya when staying at the Grand Del Mar.  Service and food are always excellent.  On this visit I ordered the Ahi Tuna BLT and absolutely loved it.  The Waiter asked me if I wanted Fries or a Salad and I told him Salad but only with Romaine or Iceberg Lettuce.  I hate the bitter Mixed Greens most restaurants serve.  Happily surprised that he brought me a Caesar Salad complete with Anchovies and Shaved Parmesan.  Delicious!  The Ahi Tuna BLT was amazing.  The Smoked Bacon and Horseradish Sauce helped make this one of my favorite Ahi Sandwiches ever.  Just a little too much bread with the thick Ciabatta which is very filling.

The Grand Del Mar is one of my favorite hotels of all-time.  It is the kind of place that relaxes me and puts me in a place of being that I really love.  Just love hanging out in the lobby, walking the grounds and enjoying the food here.  Amaya is the hotels go to restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner.  They offer indoor and outdoor seating with great atmosphere and comfort.  We dined with local friends for dinner and enjoyed the meal at a large table inside.  Service and food was good.  I wanted Risotto and Lobster so I asked the waiter if I could get the Risotto with Lobster in it.  He said yes and I enjoyed it.  Click links below to view previous posts on Amaya and The Grand Del Mar;
