I flew across the country to enjoy a weekend at The La Costa Resort and Spa. The grounds were well maintained and the rooms were clean. The birds of paradise were stunning and the lighting at night was beautiful. On the second night a room near us had the alarm going off all night long making it impossible for us... More

We stayed at La Costa in January for 4 days. The location is great because it is 10 minutes from two major shopping centers. The grounds are gorgeous, but it is a really large hotel, and you can easily get turned around the first day. The rooms are average at best, unless of course you upgrade. I had a view... More

We appreciate your note about our landscaping and will pass along your kind words to the team that maintains our grounds. We're not quite clear on your note about being "turned around the first day," but would... More

Went to this venerable property and was greatly disappointed from the rooms to the service to room service ( the worst)... Don;'t waste your money. Didn't use the spa. Was there on business but would never book on my own. More

I was lucky enough to go to the resort and spa as part of the Aveeno Active Naturals Most Inspiring Moms contest. The rooms were very spacious and the beds heavenly. The spa was truly phenomenal. Not only were the treatments great-- book Katrina for the age-defying facial-- but so were the spa amenities. Also, the range and schedule of... More

Definitely expensive, but also a quality experience. Great for a special romantic get away. Staff are friendly and helpful. The spa is fun and if you have a service you can use spa facilities, pools, garden, hot tub, hot pool, sauna and the best steam room. Chopra centre has their facility on site, and you can book an Ayrevedic spa... More

La Costa has become our favorite hotel in the southern california area. We spend every Thanksgiving there and we visit during the year. The resort has been upgraded and the renovations are fantastic.

Gorgeous property with exotic flora and lemon trees. Peaceful and very private. Service was super. Our 8 year old loved the pool area and the indoor bar made some awesome Mojitos! (Terribly expensive but that's a resort) The rooms on the other hand were mediocre for a spa. Granted we were in a lower end room ...but still. I do... More

My husband and I recently stayed at La Costa and had a wonderful experience. We highly recommend staying there. The rooms are beautiful, relaxing and very peaceful. The Spa is wonderful and the staff is very accommodating. It's a bit on the expensive side, luckily we had a gift card. More

Just went back after roughly 10 years. I think the renovation was a big success! There are multiple room types available, to the point of almost being confusing. We ended up changing rooms from a king studio to junior suite to make room for our (adult) kids to stay one night on the pull out couch with a door between... More
