Top San Marcos Hotel Reviews

Omni La Costa Resort & Spa Carlsbad

Omni La Costa Resort & Spa Carlsbad

8/10 Good
"Would have given 5 stars except for the food. Everything about our stay was spectacular. The room, the amenities, the pools. It really is kid paradise and so beautiful. We had the perfect vacation. But we were definitely underwhelmed with the food and drinks. We had dinner with cocktails and brunch at the Vue, lunch and cocktails at the pool (the worst turkey club wrap we’ve ever had, which how bad can you mess that up), and dinner at Bar Traza. We did not have one meal that was great. Nothing bad, all just mediocre. Which was disappointing considering the price. The summer promotion of Kids eating free for breakfast and lunch and half off dinner helped make up for it. But still wish the food had been better. Would still come back for the pools but probably wouldnt eat at the resort for dinners"
