Top Carlsbad Lagoon Hotel Reviews

Hyland Inn Near Legoland

10/10 Excellent

"It was great! Staff was helpful! We checked in after hours, long drive from Arizona. Staff was able to help us get in and easy check in. Highly recommend this place! Clean place and close to everything"

Tamarack Beach Resort Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay at the Tamarack Beach Resort! The staff was so courteous and friendly from the moment we arrived. The property, though older, is very well maintained, and the location right across from the beach can't be beat. There are lots of restaurants and shops within walking distance and the area seems very safe. We had a first floor room with partial ocean view and made use of our outdoor patio every day for morning coffee, lunch, and evening sunsets. Complimentary breakfast and secure underground parking were provided with our stay. The pool and surrounding area are nice for relaxing after a walk along the beach. We would definitely stay here again on a future visit to Carlsbad."

Villa Bahia Your Waterfront Private Beach Retreat in Beautiful Carlsbad

10/10 Excellent

"This was perfect for my sons 7th birthday. The home was fabulous, it was better than the pictures! It even had a toy/book/art room which our 3,5,& 7 year olds loved and were in there everyday. The rooms were all very spacious with great bathrooms. The Kitchen was beyond well stocked, including sticks for cooking marshmallows for Smores. The pool and spa were both very clean and we paid the extra for the heating which made it very nice. The private beach was especially nice with the paddle boards and kayaks. The home was very close to a grocery store which was nice if you forgot something. Whenever we have used VRBO the owners or managers really are what can make an enjoyable experience exceptional. In this case, beyond exceptional and a 10/10. We were coming for our sons birthday and they surprised us with a birthday gift basket on our arrival! It was stocked with bubble toys, wine, and all types of treats plus supplies for smores. We had a few questions and Cierra was ALWAYS very quick with responses to tall of our questions. ( thank you Cierra). The check our was the easiest I have ever had . We hope to make this a regular destination"
