Great movie experience. I felt like I was rich. Social distancing at its finest. And not to mention how relaxing and inviting to seats were. I wish I could give them more stars. Worth every dime.

Great place to view a movie. The drink selection alone /alcohol or non alcohol are great. The service was good and food as well. Prices are a bit pricey but if you want to spoil yourself, this is the place. I was in a family of four and spent around 90 dollars on food and drinks.

Ive been coming to this theater for a couple of years now. Its great! Good food, comfortable seating, clean and friendly staff! I only removed a star because if you go and your movie is packed, expect the staff to be delayed in serving you since theyre busy and she missed an item I requested but still a great place! Very relaxing atmosphere and why not watch a movie in luxury? :)

Nice theater, comfy seats. Food needs improvement, no salt and pepper with meal. Do not order mushroom burger. Arrived cold and gave me stomach issues that night! Contacted management they said, sorry, it was opening night so that we can improve. I hope the Cinepolis will become worth the high price!

The best place to see a movie. Good food. Very comfortable spacious seating. Waiters to bring your snacks to you and a full bar. It is expensive but you can usually get good deals on early shows. Paying a little extra is worth it for the extra comfort. They also have delicious caramel corn fresh popped.

Very clean and fancy interior. You feel like you are walking into a restaurant/bar instead of a movie theater. If you purchase your tickets online, you walk straight into your theater and to your assigned seat; no tickets to show, no stopping, it is very weird feeling. Each seat can recline, has a menu, and a mini table to hold your food (should you feel inclined to order any). Darkness of theater was great as well as the sound system. If you want an experience before your movie, this is the theater to visit.

Great ExperienceSaw Frozen 2 with my niece. We had the whole theater to ourselves on a Wednesday afternoon. Shes 5 and kept telling me it was magic loved the reclining seats and everyone who worked there made her feel extra welcome and special. It was a great memory for both of us. Thank you so much.

If you want an amazing movie experience in an extremely comfortably chair, spend a few bucks more and give it a try. Just, please, dont walk into this classy place with flip flops, shorts, and a t-shirt. I know this is sunny, warm, Southern California, but please demonstrate a bit of self-respect.

Cinepolis is always my go to for a date night. The seats are premium, the food is great, and every seat in the theater is acceptable at the least. The front rows are further back than a normal theater so dont hesitate to snag those lost remaining seats in the front of a full theater.

Terrific place to see a movie.Reserved seating, leather reclining seats, food and drink service at the push of a button at your fingertips!Takes movie watching to the next level.The only problem is you will never want to go to a regular theater again.You will love it.

Overall this is a great luxury cinema. It is a little characterless inside but the chairs are comfortable and the food is good. Two complaints - it is very expensive - $70 for tickets and for 4 alcoholic drinks, and 3 meals it was $130. So be prepared for a full event. The only other annoyance was that the servers required us to ‘cash out’ the bill after each order, which made for tricky bill signing in the middle of the film. Not ideal.

Oh wow! If youve never visited its a must even if its just once. Pricey, but the experience is amazing! Personnel is very friendly & very accomodating.The lounging seats are roomy & super comfortable & if you get chilly, you can rent a blanket! Service & foods are outstanding, with a vast variety of items from snacks to meals, as well as the typical theatre fare. They even serve alcohol!

A beautiful movie theater. Prices are a little higher than most movie theaters but its the experience that makes it worth while. I like being able to order from my seat and not having to wait in the concession line. The staff is very courteous and the half off ticket prices during the day is a definite plus.

Warning make sure you are getting what you asked for. We went to the kosk to pay and order tickets in advance. There was an option for 3D at 12:55 and 5:05 pm, so we ordered 5pm time because we really enjoy 3D movies at the theater. Besides if you are going to pay those prices you might as well get the full experience.When we went to the seats we noticed no one had 3D glasses and no one was passing them out. I asked the usher about this and he checked with the manager who said that the 3D option was no longer available. I then informed him that the kosk we bought the tickets from stated the 3D option. he offered to refund the tickets but we had already bought popcorn, candy and drinks and the family was really looking forward to the movie.They need to either put up a sign informing that there is a problem with the kosk or fix the bug in the system.Other than that the theater was clean and comfortable with attentive staff.I edited the review down to one star because I received a generic response to my comments that I submitted to Cinepolis that said they would look into it . I replied on 01-02-20 , please let me know the outcome. No reply back, so obviously they just send the generic reply and dont care about any follow up. Too bad, if there was a little more concern on their part the exorbitant prices they charge would be worth the experience.

Very nice staff tonight, but our seats were horrible (theater 5 seats H1&2) and the movie, Downhill, is the worst movie I have seen in a long time! It was so bad that we walked out before it ended. Shame on Will for being such a disappointment. Julia was ugly and angry. It didnt even work as a dark comedy. And, the seats were the last available in otherwise full theater because they were at the top of the stairs in the corner and everytime someone walked up or down the stairs they completely blocked our view. So damn disappointed.

My wife and I have been coming to Cinepolis Luxury Cinemas for years, and La Costa is our favorite and closest location. You cant beat the luxury experience, but compared to iPic and Arclight, Cinepolis has better food and drink options and the theater is MUCH cleaner. I had an issue with my rewards points, and after not hearing from corporate on 2 attempts, I spoke to Josh, the Assistant General Manager, who listened and took ownership of the issue. He emailed corporate and copied me on all correspondence so I was always in the loop and followed-up consistently with phone calls of the status. I appreciate this level of service and the value and attention to the customers needs. I felt taken care of and that my issue mattered rather than being told to contact corporate. Josh, you definitely are a luxury to Cinepolis. Thank you again for your assistance!

Review №23

It was a bit expensive for a movie theater, but this was not an ordinary movie theater. This is in my opinion top tier. The staff were awesome. Even being a late night showing for Endgame. The staff were clearly exhausted, but kept a smile up and kept going with the manager working side by side with them delivering food and taking orders. My wife and I were highly impressed with them. Then comes the leather recliners and the excellent food they serve during the movie. Oh yes, this place was fantastic. First time here but it is now our go too theater

Really nice! Menu is pretty good. Obviously its on the pricey side but thats okay cause its a luxury theater. This place really isnt meant for kids. Also tons of shops and places to eat in the same plaza if you dont want the movie theater food.

Review №28

Very expensive. Very very expensive. But you’re paying for the nice seats that power recline and a theoretically better experience.The only issue here is that servers are consistently walking in front of your view of the movie to take orders or deliver food and drinks. In addition the sound insulation of each theater is akin to that of a college dorm. Paper thin walls. So if there is bass in the movie next to yours, you can bet you’re gonna hear it over the sound of your own movie. Not impressed here at all.In addition, despite hearing sound from other theaters near yours, you won’t hear very good sound quality in your movie. I am used to movie theaters in which you can feel the bass of action scenes and those in which the sound quality is better than the sound system in your home. This is usually how you justify spending $15 on a normal movie ticket. These tickets at $25 and the speakers sound like the sound is coming out of the default speakers on my flatscreen (tin-ey, lacking bass, lacking frequency separation and impossible to hear the dialogue).Overall it might be nice for one date but don’t go here if you’re trying to actually watch a movie. It’s not worth the price. Go to a regal cinema

I love Cinepolis. Ive been to the Del Mar and Vista locations and by far La Costa is the best with service and cleanliness. Vista is just too old.Press the blue button, order food and drinks and its delivered to you.I had the pepperoni flat bread, popcorn and a glass of wine while Tupac had a shake and a theater dog. The fries that it came with was oily and crispy. Yum!Very comfortable seats.

This is how a visit to the movie theater should be. Comfy, luxurious, separated from other moviegoers, and you can order a whole meal with an alcoholic beverage. The food is a little expensive, but its good.

Great seats, but the movie broke twice, one time they rewound it to the beginning and the staff waited until 10 minutes before show time to clean the theater. At $22 a ticket this was a sad experience.

Date night here is worth the price! Great service, drinks and food, a long with reclining chairs build for two. I felt like I was at home, but not my home because i dont have comfort like this! The service was quick and accurate. The staff was friendly and the manager, Leo, said farewell with a big smile. Id definitely recommend this place for a romantic movie night ;)

We come here often and I am looking forward to the new one opening down the street. Just left there and I know it is the day after Christmas - busy day - seeing Star Wars so we got there 15 minutes before show time to order food. We were the 2nd or 3rd group in the theater, pushed out buttons for service. 15 mins later the theater starts to fill up with ppl. The wait staff makes their way in 5 mins after start time and starts at the bottom row - painfully slow motion - disregarding who got there first. 35 mins after arriving with staff very far away my husband goes to the bar to grab drinks. Initially the guy refuses to get my kids Icees saying we have to order from our seats because to theyre closing (this is 5:15 pm Dec 26), but my husband convinces him to get my kids and icee and grabs a couple beers and comes back. We then wait a few more minutes and my husband finally goes up to the wait staff - still 3 rows down, ppl who came 30 mins after us are getting their food - and asks for a waitress. The food runner comes up and takes our order on a receipt and says shell get it to a waiter - this is 40 mins after we arrive. We wait 45 more minutes and nothing comes. My husband leaves the theater and finds a manager (weve now missed so much of the movie dealing with this and never once has a waiter come to our row). Manager admits the order never got put in and promises to do so now, he does give us 50% off. We finally get our food 1.5 hrs into the show. I would have rather paid full price, not to mention how expensive tickets are, to get the service I paid for. I could have gone to Edwards, paid half price and just ordered food before the movie. The whole experience sucked. We missed so much of the movie dealing with it and we still paid a ton. I am sad that we bought these tickets 1 month out and we so excited to see this movie and now I feel like we need to see it again to know the full story. Just terrible service! Honestly the theater was full but it was not crazy, and it was planable busy so they theater should prepare. We had a similar experience last year same time (week of or after Christmas). We will never go back during that time and will give the new La Costa theater a try in Feb. Hopefully it is better.

Comfortable seats clean and great service! Love that you can order everything by just pressing a button and a server comes to take your order! I only gave it 4 out of 5 stars because the prices on the food are a bit much... The food tastes good but I dont believe that its quite as good as what the prices would insinuate. I enjoy coming here every once in awhile to splurge!

If you havent been to a Cinepolis this would be a good one to start at. From the moment you walk in to the moment you sit down in the Beautiful reclining seats and your waited on hand and foot while watching a movie you will be in heaven. They have deals during the week so call before you go. They also have an app that allows you to buy tickets before you go. My favorite theater in all of San Diego. I prefer it over the del Mar Cinepolis.

Review №52

Bag check policy and the smugness of the ticket checker about the policy made our experience a last time visit. The tickets are already $7 more per person than any other theater. Ticket prices and concession prices are precisely the reason food is taken in. LAST VISIT FROM OUR PARTY OF 3. Laughably ridiculous business practice. We even planned on buying drinks from them, buzz killed their way out of more money. Nicely done. Taking our business to Regal. They dont check bags AND Im happy paying for their concessions because of the ticket price difference. Overpriced and over-entitled is the Cineoplis way...

Great movie theater. Best time to go is from 3:30 to 5:30 because it was matinee times and seats are only $10. They offer a wide variety of food that you can eat a long while watching your movie. This movie theater has a great Lounge the offers drinks as well as main courses and appetizers

Decent ticket prices during happy hour. Electric reclining seats are comfortable. Food and drinks are very expensive for what you get, which is to be expected in any movie theater. Avoid messier food that require utensils as the theater is dark and the tables are quite small.

It takes a while to get the groove of this place, but once you do, its fun. Only two screens serve booze, which is disappointing. The food is airline quality at airport prices. It can get cold, so dont be shy: dress warmly or bring a blanket.All that, its my favorite place to watch a movie.

I like the theater for its comfort and quality screen and sound experience. The food is a little pricey as is all theater food however the food quality is much better than your standard theater.

If youve never been to one you are missing out on the luxury of watchin a movie in style. They have side by side recliners for 2 then a table to separate you from the people next to you. A server who takes your food and cocktail order and delivers it right to you. It is a great way to see a movie usually cost around $20.00 a person but worth it. Food and drinks are a little pricey but again worth it as part of the experience

This theater blew me away. My husband booked us tickets as a surprise to see the new Avengers last month and we were in paradise! The food is fabulously plated as if you were in a restaurant with lamps at your seat to see everything. You can order from the bar or your seat. You dont have to miss a thing! This was so romantic and the experience was great. I would just say I wish that it wasnt so expensive! definitely worth it though

Im writing this review in hopes that Cinepolis will consider coming to the Las Vegas or Henderson, NV area. The experience of being able to order food, desserts and drinks in a luxury cinema is something that Las Vegas and Henderson has yet to experience! We may have the fancy leather chairs, but we are missing the luxury movie experience that Cinepolis offers with their menu service and catering. We cant wait to have something like that here!

Review №83

Do you enjoy paying 40$ for two cocktails that are more fruit pulp than alcohol? Do you enjoy excessively overpriced popcorn that is cold and stale? How about a place that claims gourmet food options then serves a handful of fries with a tiny bit of parmesan dropped in the middle? Or even better extremely disgruntled employees that treat you like a burden instead of a guest? I guess its not their fault seeing as the manager left halfway through the night when they had excessive call ins (I asked one of the employees what was wrong) I am extremely disappointed that I spent over 100$ on tickets food drink at that place. I get one night off, one, after working 6 twelve hour shifts I wanted to go relax and enjoy a movie, I do not recommend here at all, save your money.

Ive been here with my son about 10 times. We both love it. The reclining seats are super comfortable and there is a lot of space between each set of seats.

I recommend sitting further back in the theatre or in the middle at the closest.

Review №98

Absolutely worth the extra cost. Middle/upper level seats are the best. They should incorporate a quick intermission though since most movies are 2+ hours long which, about 1.5 hours in, is brutal on the bladder after youve had a few of their tasty libations.

Da
Review №99

The viewing experience is good and its great having food and drinks delivered to your comfortable big chairs. The considerable cost is the principal counterpoint. We avoid having a full meal, opting for a something like a cheese and charcuterie plate with a beer, and even that can result in a net cost of ~$50 a person.
