“Beautiful property. Great service. Mediocre rooms.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

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 recall that the bathroom were much better than the room itself. The on-site restaurant is excellent and fills quickly on a weekend night, so make reservations. Apparently it brings in a lot of residents from the Carlsbad area.

Hi Carolina,
Thank you for your review. We're always thrilled to hear that adults and children alike enjoyed their time here. In regards to your room - are you talking about a spa treatment room or our guest room that you stayed in? We're always looking to improve, so appreciate your feedback.

I do see that you stayed in March 2011 and we've gone through quite a bit more renovations since then - we'd love to have you return and perhaps this will answer questions about the room.

We'll be sure to pass along your note about BlueFire Grill to chef - he will truly appreciate this.
Thanks again for taking the time to review us. We appreciate it!

“Beautiful property and well trained staff”

We only stayed one night and next time will stay longer! Room was beautify remodeled with a comfy bed and spacious bath. Love the fact that you can park your car and just stay at the resort - there is so much to do! Great yoga class at the Chopra Center (just wish I could have charged it to the room directly).

“Beautiful resort”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012

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.

“Beautiful renovation, incredible customer service!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 February 2012

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 the living area and bedroom. They did not have a great night's sleep on the pull out, but I think that is to be expected. There was well appointed functional kitchen/eating area in addition to a washer and dryer. Nice gas fireplace in the living area with a separate tv from the bedroom. Our king sized bed was luxurious and comfortable.
We really enjoyed the ground floor with larger terraces with direct access to the spa area. Our room was #6508.
Thanks to the excellent front desk staff, especially Brooks, we were helped in getting the best room for our needs.
We also did the golf/spa package for one night, and believe that to be a good value. The spa is beautiful!
