This hotel is lovely, very close to the beach, a few steps. We come to Carlsbad often & have stayed at Westin, Omni and Sheraton. This time around I wanted something by the beach, after a lot of consideration booked this resort.
What I loved:
*Next to the beach, so fabulous!!!!!!!!!
*Beautiful and clean hotel grounds
* Really nice front desk staff.
*Convenient to have everything you need at the resort, pool, spa (family and adult only). On site gym, movies (DVDs), board games, activities,
*beach towels, beach chairs, umbrellas, boggie boards, beach toys, all available for guests complimentary.
* really nice courtyard to spend time in grassy area or by the Firepit, lots of sitting.
*having a kitchen in the room is very convenient when you have kids.
What I didn't like:
*broken umbrella when I walked to the beach. Opened and it would stay up. I had to walk back and get another one. I hope they test those before handing them out. It was an inconvenience but acceptable.
* elevator to the 3rd floor was not available and my room was there. Hotel is going through some construction. I had to carry luggage, backpacks, water case, etc on my own through the stairs. That was super hard. However, I did love my room and views. I wished I had help however carrying everything going up that stairs.
*voice message left on my hotel phone about timeshare sales. Every day the phone was blinking with a message from them. No, thank you.
*loud Ac, super strange noise when it starts blowing air. It woke me up many times.
Would I come back, yes!!!!!!!. This resort is worth more visits. It is very well located, clean, safe, beautiful grounds, quaint vibe.
We had so much fun and it is close to everything. Literally by the Carlsbad Village sign that is just outside the hotel doorsteps. So much fun!
