The Lobby Lounge at the Grand Del Mar is a popular spot for cocktail lovers and cigar fans. The bartenders are knowledgeable and quick, with Daniele standing out for her friendly service and her ability to suggest interesting variations on classic cocktails. The lounge offers an impressive selection of signature cocktails and has also perfected the classics. Guests can enjoy their drinks on the balcony, where servers do a great job of bringing cocktails and wine. The property itself is gorgeous and well-maintained, making it a wonderful place for relaxation. The staff is attentive and friendly, always ready to help guests with special requests, like retrieving a lost scorecard. The lounge's tea selection is small but good, with some unusual blends like goddess of mercy and Ontario icewine, which are very enjoyable. The food is fresh and tasty, featuring afternoon tea classics such as olive oil cake, chicken salad, and cucumber sandwiches, along with trendy items like Dubai chocolate cake and matcha cake. The sandwiches and desserts are praised as divine, and the piano player adds a magnificent touch to the atmosphere. While the WiFi in the bar has been reported as poor, overall, the experience is highly appreciated. Parking is mainly via valet, which adds time and expense, but the valet staff are efficient and friendly. The Grand Del Mar is celebrated as the best resort in Southern California, with spacious rooms, top-notch service, and beautiful grounds. Guests are especially pleased with the staff’s willingness to go above and beyond to make their stay memorable, such as using the resort's car service, where John is noted for his excellent service. Overall, the lounge provides a luxurious and enjoyable environment, perfect for special occasions like afternoon tea or celebrating a birthday.
