This place is absolutely brilliant if you have children. The beach is literally across the street. We had trouble with the free wireless internet during our first two days, but it cleared up completely for the second two days. The place has a moderately sized pool which they cover during the night and clean each morning. The free breakfast did not contain any protein, so I had to go off premise for breakfast quite frequently ... it's all carbs. The game room is fantastic for kids because they have fooseball (sp.?), billiards, and ping pong. They have a second billiards table that they do not let children use. Near the pool, there is are two hot tubs. One allows kids (cooler) and one does not (hotter). The place is set up for you to borrow films to watch in your room ... and the kids will love this nuance. The parking is passcode-protected and underground. The walk to terrific little restaurants is MINIMAL, meaning that the location is fantastic. You never have to drive anywhere. We did drive to the laundry and the market. The place is great and carlsbad village itself is excellent. I'm so happy I selected this place for my children. They never even mentioned legoland. Think about THAT.

Room tip: the place is a timeshare along with a hotel ... try to avoid the courtyard room in favor of partial ocean view.

Our big family have been staying in this resort for our family gathering togehter for years. It is a good location although I have to say it is loud at night.

Yes, we are on vacation. But we need to use internet for work or for other things sometimes. The internet is so slow that it drives us crazy sometimes and wastes of us lots of time trying to get things done. The same problem has been there for years. It surprises me that the hotel have not been doing anything to improve it. Not sure if we will come back next year.

Thank you for the nice compliments and we do get some noise more so at this time of the year compared to other times. Unfortunately the internet is slow and it is ironic that you are here now when we are currently dealing with an internet problem which surfaced as of last week. Prior to this we had no issues to speak of in the past year related to the internet. We are working on a solution with a new provider which will not only have us up and running as we have been, but will provide us even greater speed. Unfortunately, this will likely not be complete for about another week.
Thank you again and we do hope to see you and your Family again next year

My sister and I stayed on the first floor facing the ocean (awesome view!). I was a little concerned about the noise after reading the other reviews but it was not that bad; in fact we barely noticed it when the sliding glass door was closed and we were not bothered by it when sitting on the balcony. The accomodations and staff were excellent. The room was spacious and having the mini fridge was a bonus. The beds were very comfortable and the third flood viewing deck made a great place to watch the sunset. The courtyard area was beautiful and very well done. The only challenge was the air conditioner; it was a little noisy (maybe that's way we didn't notice the traffic sounds) and blew directly on the beds. I just wish I had a reason to return regularly. I would definitely recommend the Tamarack Resort.

I have been staying at this resort for over 5 years and its great for kids the activities were so fun and they even had wine and cheese for the adults. It's great for spring break. We always stay in the same room which is a courtyard room nice and quite and great access to the pool and recreational room. The staff is always pleasant and helpful. It's nice too because you can walk right across the street and there is the ocean and restaurants. You really don't even have to get into your car until its over. I will never stop going to Tamarack.

Room tip: We have always stayed in room 117 its a corner and it's quite.
