You feel pampered from the time you push through the front door of the top-of-the-line resort and spal. You can look out to the nearby Pacific from your suit balcony. There's a garden to get lost in, a superb restaurant -- the 15th Street Bar & Grill -- and, of course, the Spa Del Mar for the ultimate in body and facial pampering and toning. Very expensive. You might want to schedule your stay when the fabled Del Mar Racetrack is open -- from July 19 to Sept. 6 (closed Tuesdays).
