We stayed in Unit T, supposedly one of the nicer rooms. Cleaniness was passable, decor was tacky, bathroom was tiny and in major need of paint and updating (like replace the rusted sink.) We must agree with previous review about the towels being dingy and rough. The sheer curtains on windows and patio lights left on all night made the room a bit too bright for sleeping. Pool was so small, we missed it the first time we pulled in. On the plus side, it was quiet and the view from the dock was beautiful for sunsets. Sorry, but we would not recommend.

All I can say is what a bad surprise this place was. After driving 10 hours I arrived for check in and had to stand there and listen to the husband and wife "management team" argue back and forth. when they were finished I checked in and went to my room. The room smelled and was dirty. Went back to the office and was told....sorry, the housekeepers have left for the day. I will NEVER stay here again!!!!!!!!!

Fancy? no, Glitzy? no, ultra modern resort? no,...and that is exactaly what i wanted, the view out of the cottage was stunning(faced the gulf), the rooms were clean, and neat ,and pretty much anything you would need to have an evening in( except food) was there, it was a little pricey $299.00 per night but ,the experience was exceptional, the staff was helpful, and courteous, and all said it was worth every penny!

We really enjoyed the laid back and mellow atmosphere at the La Jolla. The price was right. We stayed in room "T" aka "The Honeymoon Suite", it was a room with a bed and pretty table. It had a great view of the bay and the La Jolla grounds. The facility is aged (from the 1950's.) A heck of a lot cooler than a standard motel room and priced right (especially in the off season.)

The bayside yard features a shuffle board court but not instructions on the rules, kayaks for guests to use, a hammock, chairs and a tiki table. The grill to cook your fish needs some work. This is a charming place I would recommend. Traffic noise is minimal in the yard.

It is not fancy but it is neat and we'll be staying again. Next time we'll spring for a bigger room with kitchenette so we can spread out. I hope La Jolla stays just as it is!

I also recommend Captain Kenny Spaulding. He's been our fishing guide for years and is accommodating and nice and gets you fish.

--Cheers,
Northern Minnesotans

“The Last Resort”

1/1 found this review helpful

Stayed Four nights, on brothers recomendation. Very disappointed. Pool is small and old, right by the road (A!A), if you love the sound of traffic you will love the pool. The rooms are damp and need to be totally gutted. Everything did work but the A/C smelled musty, the fridge was rusting, coated with touchup paint. There is no ICE Maker. Very overpriced. The maids fog the room with Lyscol after cleaning, No exageration, while drying off with a towel it accually split in several places, you probibly have rags nicer than the linens here. The kitchen is well stocked with great flea maket fines. Stay away! Oh and did I mention that there is no ICE Machine! Try the Islander down the road, total remodel.
