The Cassara Carlsbad, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Great stop. The arcade was fun. They have 2 pools and a splash pad that we sadly didn’t get to use. The breakfast process could have been smoother. Otherwise a great stay. We will gladly consider this hotel in the future."

Carlsbad by the Sea Hotel, Carlsbad, Series By Marriott

10/10 Excellent

Cape Rey Carlsbad Beach, a Hilton Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"The grounds were beautifully maintained. We watched staff meticulously clean the glass around the pool, wiped down railings all the way to the ground. They need a raise ! Every staff we came in contact with was knowledgeable and the training shows. We were greeted by the gift shop cashier, the front desk clerk came around to hand me my room keys. These little things did not go unnoticed. Mya was a great waitress to us! She made our night with being so fun and kind to our party."

Villa Bahia Your Waterfront Private Beach Retreat in Beautiful Carlsbad

10/10 Excellent

"This was perfect for my sons 7th birthday. The home was fabulous, it was better than the pictures! It even had a toy/book/art room which our 3,5,& 7 year olds loved and were in there everyday. The rooms were all very spacious with great bathrooms. The Kitchen was beyond well stocked, including sticks for cooking marshmallows for Smores. The pool and spa were both very clean and we paid the extra for the heating which made it very nice. The private beach was especially nice with the paddle boards and kayaks. The home was very close to a grocery store which was nice if you forgot something. Whenever we have used VRBO the owners or managers really are what can make an enjoyable experience exceptional. In this case, beyond exceptional and a 10/10. We were coming for our sons birthday and they surprised us with a birthday gift basket on our arrival! It was stocked with bubble toys, wine, and all types of treats plus supplies for smores. We had a few questions and Cierra was ALWAYS very quick with responses to tall of our questions. ( thank you Cierra). The check our was the easiest I have ever had . We hope to make this a regular destination"
