Recent Reviews in South Oceanside

Omni La Costa Resort & Spa Carlsbad

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful, high end and kid friendly but also adult only friendly with kids club services."

Hyatt Vacation Club at The Welk, San Diego Area

10/10 Excellent

"This is our 4th year coming to the Hyatt Regency - Welk Resort. This is an outstanding place to staycation, or vacation, as a family. There are so many amenities to accommodate the stay, including; pools, spas, water slides, snack bars, market and places to dine. The grounds are upbeat daily and Staff is the best. The rooms are great but I recommend the Villas. We'll be back next year."

The Seabird Ocean Resort & Spa, Part of Destination Hotel by Hyatt

10/10 Excellent

"The Seabird was an excellent stay! The whole hotel is a vibe. The staff is friendly, the location is awesome- a short walk down to the beach, the pier and the area where you can easily find dining (recommend Odies pizza) & small shops. While the $50 daily valet parking was a bit steep, it made me feel secure to have hotel staff take care of it. On the beach, they have a cool metal camper where you can walk up and they provide you with free beach chairs, an umbrella, beach towels, boogie boards and even kids toys- theyll even set it up for you!! We went for my sons 6th birthday and while the beach & hotel pool was busy during summer break season, we all had a blast and the Seabird only elevated that experience for us. Overall- HIGHLY RECOMMEND this hotel & resort!!"
