Kashrut and standards

Taken from the operator’s own website. A dashed outline means the operator hasn’t said, not that the answer is no.

Supervision
Not named on the operator’s website. Ask who gives the hechsher.

Who is the supervisor?

The operator’s website does not name a rabbi or agency I could look up.

Worth asking the operator

  • Who signs the kashrut certificate for this program, and can I see this year’s certificate?
  • How many years has he supervised this operator’s Pesach programs, and this hotel in particular?
  • Does an agency or beth din stand behind the certificate, or is it his personal hechsher?
  • Is he in the hotel for the whole of Yom Tov, and how many mashgichim work under him?

Getting there

There is a nonstop flight from New York (JFK), about 5.5 hours in the air.

San Diego (SAN) has nonstops from New York JFK, Newark, Miami, Los Angeles, Chicago O'Hare, Toronto and London Heathrow.

Most guests fly into San Diego or drive down from Los Angeles; travelers from Israel usually connect through Los Angeles or an East Coast airport.

Routes come from each airport’s published route list, checked October 2026. Flight times are estimates from the distance. Airlines change schedules, so confirm before you book (route list we used).

From the airport

  • San Diego International Airport (SAN): about 30 minutes by carSan Diego's airport, right beside downtown.

Driving instead

  • From Los Angeles: about 2 hours
  • From Las Vegas: about 5 hours
  • From Phoenix: about 5.25 hours

Late April weather

Mild, with days around 68°F (20°C) and nights near 57°F (14°C); the Pacific is about 62°F (17°C), cold for swimming without a wetsuit.

Good to know

  • You need a car; the resort is in a canyon inland from Del Mar, away from public transportation.
  • The zoo, SeaWorld and LEGOLAND are busy during chol hamoed, so buy tickets ahead and arrive early.
  • Pacific time zone, three hours behind New York. Mornings near the coast are often cloudy and cool.

Safety and travel advisories

What governments say about travel to this country. Nothing here is this site’s own judgment.

Safety information for the United States

The US State Department does not publish an advisory for its own country. Other governments do publish advice for visitors, and local police departments publish crime figures for their own cities.

UK government advice

This is the governments’ own wording, not a rating by this site. Israel’s National Security Council also publishes travel warnings for Israelis abroad. Ask the operator what security the program itself arranges, such as guards and entry checks.
