Days Inn by Wyndham Carlsbad

10/10 Excellent

"Took my family and the staff was amazing and very friendly and helpful.. location was perfect to everything we had made plans for.. i definitely recommend this place.. will stay here next time we are in San Diego.."

LEGOLAND California Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"My kids loved this hotel and so did we. The hotel and room was clean. They had so many fun amenities for kids. My only complaint is that a lot of the staff in the lobby area were not very friendly. They seemed bothered that we had questions and often misinformed us. I was not a fan of the self check-in. It feels very impersonal. The pool staff was very friendly and helpful. Overall we had a nice stay."

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"
