Omni La Costa Resort & Spa Carlsbad

Good

So this a big property and with 36 holes of golf that shouldnt be a shock . Dont expect to walk from your room to the lobby unless hiking is part of you vacation . The resturants ar good and room service is easy if your internet savy ,if not well you can call but its an effort . The grounds are nice just little below the El Encanto in Santa Barbara and the Beverly Wilshire in LA but its also cheaper so what the heck ! Where this place does shine is person to person service ,had a good meal from room service like breakfast just ask your server to repeat it the next day ,they will do it no problem . It would have been nice to stream netflix to the TV but it wasnt easy and needing to call a shuttle to go to the lobby or golf course was again an effort . Its certainly a good hotel and the golf was exellent . Favorite meal chicken wings from Vue and we preferred the south golf course . Definitly select valet parking as self parking isnt convient . Enjoy a good stay and weather thats alittle cooler than the normal california spots .

Our golf experience at the OMNI La Costa Resort, in Carlsbad, CA, was a tremendous success. We had a 3-day tournament with 64 players. The Resort Head Golf Professional, Rob Gogulich, made the event run smoothly and timely each of the three days. Rob was organized, responsive, and very supportive in all aspects of our tournament. He did a great job and we attribute much of the success of our event due to his efforts.

Absolutely great family vacation from the start. Luciano at the front desk was very professional warm and cheerful at check in at the front desk. Tammy at Bar Traza was a great server, she was timely and checked in on our table always at the right time you can tell she’s been doing this for awhile. Beautiful property with beautiful landscape and clean rooms highly recommend!

The property and service was absolutely amazing except for one thing. The adult pool. We went to the adult pool (which had amazing views) and there was NO pool service whatsoever. There were no servers, no water, no cocktails, no food, no bartender (at the bar that was clearly there but left abandon).. etc. There were 30-40 guests there all with NO service. We all had to go to the marketplace to get food/water/wine/beer (weird!!). Not sure as to why there was this HUGe service miss; since the rest of the experience was top notch.

Overall a nice trip to the property. Stayed 5 nights, and did the PGA package. Staff is amazing, one of the best. They made every interaction fun and enjoyable. Not a new property, but very well maintained and beautifully landscaped. The food is pretty consistent with such a place - very good, not off the charts. We ate on campus 4 nights - all at Bob's and enjoyed all the meals. Rooms are very nice, but a bit dated. Everything works really well. They are clearly well-maintained and looked after. We played the North course twice and the South course once. If you book the PGA package, be aware that they flip access to courses for the guests every other day. Make sure you understand which days you have access to which course, because the South course is pretty below average (understatement). Also, they might be able to sneak you onto the North course on "off" days, but be wary of the late tee time and at what time the sun sets. We didn't finish one of our rounds due to the darkness. Finally, and I hate to write this, but our bed was pretty awful. Soft, shook a lot when anyone moved. Tough sleeping. Hopefully we just got a bad one, but be aware...

The premises were beautiful. The resort grounds are well kept, good restaurants and shopping. The rooms were lack luster.

Our rooms had a mildewy smell. Upon arrival we did not get the rooms we paid for. This was two years in a row they did this. We paid for a fifth sleeper and they did not give that to us initially. We had to call the front desk. Then the credit card we left on file for incidentals kept getting randomly charged daily. They randomly charged over 2k on that credit card and couldn’t explain why that was happening. It took them over a week to correct the charges.

Just a quick weekend to visit Lego land with the family. Found myself wishing I brought my golf clubs- it’s tough to stare at a beautiful course for a few days without playing. Rooms were comfortable but not overly design forward. Grounds were very enjoyable, family friendly.

While the resort grounds were beautiful and well maintained, unfortunately room housekeeping was abysmal. We stayed in a mini suite for six days and other than tucking in the same sheets, replacing a couple towels NOTHING was done. We leave a very tidy, uncluttered room and it was obvious that when housekeeping finally came after 4 pm , counters and tabletops were untouched. Vacuuming was never done. A plastic fork was purposely left in front of the table on the fly and it stayed all week. We found multiple used contacts and old beer bottles on the surfaces that had come from previous stays. Just unacceptable.
