Cardiff-by-the-Sea Vacation Packages

I have stayed at the Welk before, & enjoyed myself...But this trip, there were a couple of incidents that made it less than perfect. A member of my party wanted to use the grill located about 20 feet away from my villa. I had called 3 times(twice 1 day & once the next)to the Maintenance department for that grill to be cleaned. It was never cleaned!! But a Welk rep did come out to take a picture, why? I have no clue. On one of the times I'd called, the rep said there was a miscommunication because there was a report that someone was using the grill. This caused my party to completely change our dinner menu! Perhaps with the Summer season fast approaching, it will be wise to have a system in place that creates a ticket for each request, then make sure to follow up with the guest!! Don't make assumptions!!! Also, the sliding Screen door from the living room onto the balcony should be checked/ oiled. The screen was EXTREMELY difficult to open and close! Again...these two hiccups made our trip less than what I came to expect from the Welk.

Pros: The staff was great, rooms were clean, decor was nice, a/c worked. Cons: the elevator and room was super small. Like abnormally small. Made me a little claustrophobic when I was in the elevator. The valet parking was expensive (50 dollars) especially when you are expected to tip- and you should). There was a weird hidden fee of 24 dollars so the 75 dollar deposit went out the door. Started out affordable but got too expensive too quick especially for what it is.

Beautiful hotel right in front of the beach. Amenities were very clean pool and jacuzzi. The rooms are so beautiful and so clean. It has everything you need. Walkable to food and to the beach.

The rooms were kinda small but very clean and beds were comfortable! Having the free Starbucks coffee was nice and the staff was friendly. The area is not great but, better if you are looking to go out to bars etc.. The staff was nice about bringing luggage down and up to your room! Overall it was a great stay for a short weekend!

Beautiful property and spectacular views. Clean and comfortable unit, simply stunning and perfect location for enjoying the restaurants and shops of Carlsbad. Can’t wait to come back!
