poor choice

These guys spend a lot of money on marketing and brochures and dupe you into thinking you are getting a five star. You need a telescope to see the ocean. There is no mention in the brochure that they will not let you use the main pool if you have children. The secondary pool is small and over-crowded and their is NO Restaurant at the hotel so you have to schlep to a nearby pub or drive offsite. For the money this place is to be avoided. I left here and headed to Disney where the service is incredible and the accomodations much nicer. My advice is stay away or stay downtown Carlsbad.

Beautiful

I just loved the rooms and the layout of this property. Free underground parking with easy elevator access to all rooms. I loved the fact that it has an adult pool separate from the kids area. The view from our room was breath taking. We went on very short notice and were very pleased with all the amenaties. Close to great shopping, dining, San Diego, LA. We we be back for sure!

We enjoyed our stay and have already made plans to return. We got a good room rate. Our room was very clean, the staff was helpful, and the overall value was good.

Great for Families

My husband, 2 small children and I stumbled upon this hotel via the internet. We stayed in a one bedroom condo which was absolutely ideal for a family. There was a large and completely equipped kitchen. The room was extremely spacious and well maintained. I'm trying to book another stay this summer, but can't find a similar room :(

Best Things About the Resort:
It is close to stores, the beach, and the freeway. It has underground parking, elevators or stairs, an adult pool, and a separate family pool.

Resort Experience:
The two-bedroom unit was beautiful, fully furnished in updated furnishings, as seen on their website. There were new appliances, three TV’s, a dishwasher, a microwave, and a full-size kitchen with a full-size refrigerator. We had all necessary utensils, dish soap, and linens. The trash and towel change was on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and there was a DVD/VCR player and a full stereo. The second bedroom has private access to its own full bath. There is a large balcony with comfortable furniture. The unit itself was about 1100 square feet, which was perfect, not too small, for my parents, my husband, and I.
