Our Take: What doesn't this European-style hotel offer? About 20 miles north of central San Diego, the Grand Del Mar drips luxury from its marble lobby to its four swimming pools to its Tom Fazio-designed golf course. Plus, it also hosts the award-winning (and delicious) Addison restaurant. Inside the rooms, guests will find deep soaking tubs, Italian textiles, and rich, Tuscany-inspired design. And if that isn't enough, there's also a 21,000-square-foot spa and über-friendly, accommodating service—overall a five-star experience.
