Receptionist Maykala and her manager (sorry we didn’t her/his name)went above and beyond to find us a room near the restaurant and swimming pool. It made our stay meaningful. Alex the restaurant manager is very attentive and made sure my wife’s birthday brunch was set properly with all the changes we made. He also personally came to our room to make sure our in villa dining experience and everything we ordered was delivered. Emily is wonderful and did her best to accommodate all of us during our brunch. We will be back soon and we highly recommend to stay here

Absolutely loved this place. I only stayed for 1 night but wouldn't have minded a second night. The room was very big and you had everything you need. The beds were fantastic, the blankets and pillows were perfect. The staff was super friendly and made you feel really comfortable. The arcade room was fun, played some games. Parking system was very clear and lots of parking was available. Would 100% book this again!

Offering spacious accommodation with free WiFi, this family friendly resort offers a private entrance to SEA LIFE Aquarium and LEGOLAND California. Hilton Grand Vacations Club MarBrisa Carlsbad boasts 3 swimming pools and 4 hot tubs. A children’s playground and splash zone are featured at the property.

This resort was incredibly beautiful. Lush lawns and palm trees…the property is huge, but they have a convenient shuttle service that brings you around when needed. There are multiple pools and hot tubs as well as splash pads and playgrounds for the kids. There is a pool with a large slide, but that wasn’t open due to weather. Our family of 6 was upgraded by the staff to the 3bedroom suite which was so large and spacious. The room was fully equipped and extremely comfortable. Room service was quick and responsive. Lots of eating options on and off the resort.

    We really enjoyed our stay at the Carlsbad Inn! The room was a good size and had a nice kitchen with all of the cooking equipment we needed. It was nice to have a separate bedroom and family room and the balcony was a lovely spot. We really enjoyed the heated pool since the weather was a bit chilly and the activities the resort had were fun!

    My room east amazing. A cozy fire when the evening turned chilly. The large balcony with very comfortable chairs mad for a relaxing afternoon. Surprisingly quiet for being kid friendly and the staff was top notch through out the resort.
