Сомнительно, но вид красивый
Pros:

Красивый вид, теплый бассейн и джакузи, есть лаундри

Cons:

При бронировании было написано что чек Ин возможен до 23:00, мы приехали в 22:40 и все было закрыто. И потом полночи мы разбирались как нам вселиться. Сначала букинг сказал что не могут связаться и нам придется искать другое жилье. В 12 ночи искать новое жилье так себе удовольствие. Поэтому мы начали сами звонить по всем возможным номерам. И ближе к часу ночи мы смогли вселиться в жилье за которое заплатили 600$. В отеле лежал qr код чтобы подключиться к вай фай но код этот был нерабочий. В общем большие вопросы к отелю. Букинг к слову сделали компенсацию аж 50$, за то что мы сами решили вопрос а они ничего не могли сделать и предлагали искать новое жилье.

Pros:

Overall, a very nice stay at Wave Crest. It’s an older property that’s not a traditional hotel as there is no bar/restaurant or lobby area. The room was a decent size with a nice view of the ocean. There was a Murphy queen size bed which is a little odd. Plus there is no air conditioning. The weather was fine for the dates we stayed, but I could see it getting very warm during summer months. They have their own parking lot and the parking is free. Location is very good as it’s a stone throw away from the ocean and only 1-2 blocks from the main strip in Del Mar.

As local North County Coastal Residents, we would return again.
Pros:

Location on Del Mar beach

Cons:

We had our wedding rehearsal to get to by 4:30 and even though the owner said we might be able to check in early, our room wasn’t ready until after 3:00. Limited flexibility on hours.

Disappointing Experience at WCH at Wave Crest Resort
Cons:

Customer Service exhibited a level of unreasonableness that was truly disappointing. They seemed disinterested in assisting guests and lacked basic courtesy and professionalism. Attempting to address concerns or seek assistance was met with indifference and unhelpfulness, making the overall experience frustrating and aggravating.

Pros:

Pros: very close to the del mar beach. Big condos. Helpful staff. They provide beach towels, which is a big plus.

Cons: cleaning should be more regular. Currently they clean once a week.
