Fairmont Grand Del Mar Weekend Getaway & Family Pictures

Resort Style Family Pictures

A couple of weeks ago I had the immense pleasure of meeting up with Aly and her family at the Fairmont Grand Del Mar Resort to capture some beautiful family pictures. They spent Valentine’s Day weekend there for a family vacation, or family staycation, and I feel so lucky I got to experience this gorgeous resort by their side for a couple of hours.

As soon as you pull up to the hotel entrance you are welcomed by luxury and yet a homey feel. The colors in the hotel is very muted and warm giving you an opulent, yet familiar feeling. From the very moment you set foot the hotel you are met with quality.

I’ve been to plenty of hotels where the Lobby and Outdoors look amazing. And yet, as you enter into the hallways for the rooms, the quality feel disappears. Old carpet, boring walls, no art and no light seem to be the standard these days. But NOT at Fairmont Grand Del Mar. No sire, here the beauty extends in every which corner you look.

As you walk down the hallways the old charm continues, mixed in with gorgeous woodwork and beautiful paintings it’s like walking in a dream. The rooms themselves are then beautifully decorated with cute little balconies to enjoy your morning cup of coffee.

Added on to this, make it extra special for your little ones and pre-order one of their cute little tee-pee setup. I was told Ari slept in the tee-pee the entire stay.

The Pool area got everything you could desire. From the family style pool to the adult pool there are comfortable lounge chairs, complimentary sun lotion and comfortable bath towels. This resort is the perfect spot for a family vacation and a great place for family pictures.

Take a look at Aly’s blog post about their stay for even more fun information to prepare for your next visit.
