"I found ultra-luxe padel courts available at Fairmont Grand Del Mar in San Diego, aligning the resort's high-end amenities with the padel trend." - Jessica Chapel
"Kids get the full treatment here, from a glamp-in package with an indoor tent, child-sized robe, personalized cookie, and family movie delivered to the room, to family-friendly dining deals (kids five and under eat free; ages six to 12 eat 50% off at Amaya or Clubhouse Grill); the grounds feature three family pools with underwater music and a sandy area for sandcastles, plus cornhole and bocce, and the concierge can arrange babysitting so parents can slip out to the city’s best restaurants." - Nina Kokotas Hahn
"The luxury resort transforms into a winter wonderland with holiday teas, glice skating, and four-course feasts on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day at the Amaya restaurant. Guests can choose to dine on buffets, brunches, holiday teas, or prix fixe meals on the Carmel Valley property." - Helen I. Hwang

"The high-end and expansive Fairmont Grand Del Mar is a top pick for family-friendly lodgings." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"Fairmont Grand Del Mar is grand, indeed; the majestic 400-acre resort, operated by the team behind The Plaza in New York City, and The Savoy, has a luxurious Mediterranean vibe thanks to a rose-colored facade, intricate ironwork, roof tiles, copper accents, and towering cypress and palm trees. It feels a little like a palace in Spain or France —with California burritos and great surf just a few miles away." - Archana Ram, Beth Demmon
