We stayed a second time at this resort (10 nights first time and now 11 nights). Very easy to get from the airport without a car (free airport shuttle to Old Town and Coaster train to Carlsbad). In Carlsbad it was around a 5 min walk from the station to the hotel. If you have no car you can walk about 15 minutes to the grocery store if you would like to cook. There’s plenty of dining options around!!! Everything is very near the hotel. The hotel’s territory is beautiful and clean, very green with palm trees and flowers. There’s a little pool, hot tub, fitness center, and fire pits outside where you can relax after sunset. Rooms are very beautiful and comfortable ( TV set in every room). We rented 2 bdr units with a kitchen both times. I saw there is a kitchenette in every 1 bdr unit as well but you may need to double check this before booking. We had a full set of kitchen utensils plus pots, pans, can-opener, etc, along with a full stove and oven, and a full size fridge. Every morning you can get breakfast at the front office. There’s juice, yogurt, doughnuts and fresh fruits, snacks. Front desk people are very friendly and helpful. They are available from 7:00-23:00. You may contact someone after 23:00 by your unit’s landline phone. One downside was the internet lagging or cutting out frequently in about half of our unit this time. Otherwise, it is incredibly ( few steps) near the ocean and our favorite place to stay! Thank you!!!

Charming, Family-Friendly with Lovely Location
This place was such a charming find! Recently renovated with a fun tiki vibe, it felt fresh and inviting. The rooms include microwaves, which was perfect for our kiddo who loves snacking on popcorn. We stayed in a cozy 2-room, 1-bath unit that suited our family of five (2 adults and 3 kids aged 16, 14, and 9) wonderfully. While there are no elevators, the upstairs location added to its charm and worked well for us. As a parent, with a kiddo on the spectrum, I especially appreciated the convenience of having a fully stocked kitchen (plates, glasses, pots, pans, utensils). It made it easy to prepare light meals and snacks, which helped us feel right at home. The complimentary continental breakfast with coffee was another nice touch. We were in town for a soccer tournament at the SoCal Sports Complex, and the short drive back and forth was a huge plus. The location near the beach was fantastic, with lots of cute restaurants nearby. Parking can be a challenge, but once you find a spot, it’s best to leave your car and explore on foot. The pool was clean, and while labeled as heated, my kids found it a bit chilly—though it was November, so that’s understandable. Overall, it was a delightful stay, and we’d love to return!

Sanctuary
Amazing! We booked last minute and were surprised that it was available over Thanksgiving. The grounds are beautiful! It felt like a sanctuary with all the palm trees and lush gardens! We enjoyed our evenings by the firepits and loved walking to nearby restaurants. Did I mention it’s across from the beach?! Definitely going back on my next trip to Carlsbad🙂

We go here every year. It's an absolutely wonderful place to stay and so close to the beach, shops and food. The staff here always make us feel welcomed and want to help with all of our needs and requests. Only constructive criticism I'd give is all rooms need microwaves in the kitchens and more rooms need to be reserved that do NOT allow pets. My son is sooo allergic to dogs.
