We stayed here to be near Legoland for our son, and it was fun. The Good: -The staff interactions were all excellent. Really. Very friendly people who went the extra mile to ensure a good time for adults and kids. Plus, many of the staff had worked there a long time, which is really a good sign in terms of... more

We went down to La Costa with our two and half year old. Here is the positive side of it-it has plenty of amenities and the kids' club Kidtopia is very clean and wonderful. He really enjoyed it. It was nice to have him hang out there for an hour so I could sit by the pool and read a... more

Please miss this hotel at all cost. The hotel claims there was a major renovation. I enjoyed having Mold in my room so that my wife and I and our 3 year old daughter could breath it in. Everything was not in good working order. This hotel was not fully renovated as they claim. I am a travel agent and... more

My family (Wife and 2 boys, 9 & 7) and I stayed at La Costa not sure what to expect since the reviews on this site were mixed. We were pleasantly surprised the resort exceeded our expectations overall with very minor complaints. The service staff was excellent and tended to our needs in a very timely fashion. Though the resort... more

We are staying at the La Costa Resort right now for 6 days. We booked a one bedroom villa. This is our first time in Carlsbad. We are traveling with our 3 yr old son and wanted to go to Legoland, Sea Life, and Wild Life Safari. I had a hard time deciding between La Costa and the Four Seasons.... more

This was my second visit to La Costa. My first visit was in 1973 so I don't remember that stay much. My family of 4 had a wonderful vacation with something for each of us! Both kids loved the welcome bag with trinkets and juice. Our 12 year old son loved having the freedom to go to the Teen space... more

I have stayed at the La Costa six times over the last two years, and each time is ever so slightly worse than the last. My wife and I checked in for a long weekend in late August and the trend continued. Inattentive service is by far the biggest problem. The La Costa simply does not have enough staff. The... more

What a disappointment! After the hotel agreed to allow my family early check-in, we had to wait hours for a room, then had to wait another 45 minutes for a bellman to show up to take my luggage to the room. As soon as we walked in, the room smelled musty. There was a large stain in the carpet, and... more

Accommodation nice. Nothing was set up in the room upon arrival even though we spoke with VIP agent. They don't offer child proofing so the door knobs were very easy to open for the toddlers with us. Concierge (or would you call them that) did not offer a phone number for the closest pharmacy, gave wrong phone number for restaurant.... more
