Top El Capitan Reservoir Hotel Reviews

Ayres Lodge Alpine

10/10 Excellent

"I love this hotel for the class that it is. They have thought out what the customer needs very well. They've also created such nice outdoor spaces. I see caring touches everywhere, and those details impress me. It shows me that they care to make it a place you'll want to come back to. And I do. You may have to put up with the sound of people walking above you when you're on the ground level, but that's to be expected."

San Diego Country Estates

10/10 Excellent

"This was the perfect location for me during my visit with my daughters. I will for sure be looking to stay here again in my next visits."

San Vicente Golf Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay. The lounge was full of great people. The bartender was very nice and not to mention the pizza was yummy! Thank you!😊"

San Diego’s Luxury Mountain Cabin Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay was very relaxing in a beautiful setting. The outdoor area is amazing. The accommodations are very comfortable. We would definitely book again."

Ashley Cottage A French Chateau

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely stunning views!. This home is in such a peaceful neighborhood too. The floral decor is a lot as the pictures show (I had thought it was just staging when looking at the pictures online). Not the most suitable space for children—but if you have small dogs and are child free—this is an absolute paradise. Also, if you plan to use the 3rd bedroom (on main level), it does not have AC. We were there during a hot week, so it was somewhat of a bummer. Otherwise this space had a fairly well stocked kitchen and the beds and bedding of the upstairs was super comfortable. The host, Lani was fantastic and so responsive to the couple little things we needed."

Montecito Cottage - Tuscan Farmhouse, Pool, Views

10/10 Excellent

"Great place and great location. Perfect for our stay."

Grand Studio with exclusive resort amenities.

8/10 Good

"The place was great but was missing all of the utensils needed for cooking, grilling, or eating. Other then that I would stay here again"

Luxury Resort Home with Pool, Pickleball Court & Golf Simulator

8/10 Good

"The house provided ample space for our 3 young families and had great amenities overall. There were several cleanliness and maintenance issues, though, that created safety hazards and which we brought to the host’s attention; e.g., broken glass around the pool deck, cigarette butts littered around the yard and a heavy smoke odor in the bunk room, smoke detectors detached, and several exterior doors that don’t lock or stay closed. Hopefully these issues will be addressed, because it’s a beautiful property and location!"

Peaceful Ranch - Outdoor Smoking & Pets OK

10/10 Excellent

"Host is so communicative. My family and I felt so welcomed and loved. House is spectacular and very homey. When we come back, we would love to book again. Thank you!"
