Golfers are lured by the dozen or so courses, including the world-class Aviara Golf Club and the La Costa Resort and Spa. Over four miles of beautiful beach will captivate swimmers, surfers and sunbathers for hours. Bird-watchers and walkers can explore Carlsbad's three lagoons, where the Luiseno Indians made their homes for centuries. The immaculate buildings and tree-lined streets downtown are not marred by high-rises or shopping centres, but shoppers should not despair -- a designer factory outlet complex is within reach. The small-town, relaxed environment here fits nicely with the fields of colourful flowers and the mountain and ocean vistas. But children need something too, and Legoland, catering for children aged 12 and under, offers a whole world of Lego-constructed animals and every other design imaginable, in addition to rides and shows. « less

We just returned from a 5-night stay, and had a generally positive experience here. The location worked well for us--we spent a fair amount of time in and around SD, but enjoyed staying in a quieter...more

We needed to see the ocean as well as enjoy a nice lunch, so Vigilucci's seemed a good choice. First of all, we parked our own car, since the valet parking was not set up yet. Then the valet argued...more
