Best Western Carlsbad by the Sea

10/10 Excellent

"All of the staff were so friendly and helpful! Loved the pool and hot tub area and the breakfast! Will stay here again!"

Tamarack Beach Resort Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our two-night stay at this family-focused hotel. We booked last minute and got a first floor patio room with ocean view. We enjoyed sitting on the patio, but next time we would book a higher floor. There will be a next time! Carlsbad is only a hour away from where we live, so it was good for a quick getaway from the heat. It is just steps from a nice restaurant that's been there for 50 years and a quick walk across the highway to sit on the beach (loved watching the surfers). Lots of families book it for a week in summer and that is perfect because Legoland and other attractions are close by. The pool is large and we we enjoyed seeing kids having fun, but maybe not so enjoyable for younger couples. The breakfast was nothing special but very convenient."

Park Hyatt Aviara Resort, Golf Club & Spa

8/10 Good

"We stayed at the hotel for 4 days with 2 kids. The hotel was spacious and very relaxing. The pools and waterslides were the main attraction! It was a short ride to downtown Carlsbad or Encinitas which offer great dining options. The beaches were also a short ride from the hotel which made for a fun visit! I would say the service was good but not great. The resort was packed on Saturday and the pool area was very busy and they didn’t fully open the restaurant or waterslides until 11am. We also had issues with the google chromecast in the room. But other than that everything was great!"

Carlsbad Inn Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Clean hotel, parking at hotel , friendly staff, great for families and good location for beach and restaurants."

Carlsbad by the Sea Hotel, Carlsbad, Series By Marriott

10/10 Excellent

"Property was being renovated when we stayed there, but we still enjoyed our stay. It’s close to Legoland and has a good variety of food options nearby."
