A hotel with a central fountain, palm trees, and a well-lit courtyard.

Park Hyatt Aviara Resort, Golf Club & Spa

Aviara

10/10 Excellent

Beautiful hotel with large pool areas. Completely separate pool for children meaning the pool area for adults was calm and peaceful. Definitely need a car as the hotel is not near Carlsbad itself or the beach and is a good 30 miles down the I5 from San Diego. Bear in mind that the price does NOT include a $30 dollar per day valet charge for car parking plus a $35 dollar per day service charge. This adds quite an amount to the price shown. However, for a relaxing, grown up experience I...

Hampton Inn San Diego-Kearny Mesa

Kearny Mesa

10/10 Excellent

We selected this hotel for location, however the services provided by the hotel and staff were excellent. Staff could not have been more helpful, from the manager (very visible during our stay), to reception and housekeeping staff. The complimentary breakfast was very good, and again staff couldn't have been more attentive during this service. Rooms were well equipped (even had a microwave). I would highly recommend this hotel.
