Omni La Costa Resort & Spa Carlsbad

I am old enough to remember when La Costa was a destination for the rich and famous. It is no longer that but it is a pleasant experience for a vacation, particularly for families. The rooms have been renovated but are still older. The public areas are all very nice. The room prices are reasonable. Food and beverage service was very good. If you care about the condition of the golf course, don’t sign up to play unless you walk the course. I was shocked by the condition of the course. The pricing is ridiculous. After I complained about the condition, they adjusted my fee but it should have been reduced to zero.

Wanted to love it so much but the hotel and experience left a lot to be desired. Kids club was sold out (and requires advanced reservations, which we were not told about) and the food/restaurant staffing were weak. We checked in for our breakfast reservation and were told it would take an hour for food. The buffet for the kids served cold pancakes. No food/beverage service at the pool during the day. Just a real miss overall.

We’re still on the property, but I can’t resist singing the praises of Omni La Costa! From check-in through now, everything has been so sweet, starting with the stellar staff. Special thanks to Cameron who kindly greeted us upon our arrival and upgraded our room; Emily at MarketPlace (cafe) whose attention to detail is impeccable; Jacob at VUE who served us breakfast with a smile (side note: the egg-white omelette is sensational!); Catherine in concierge services who snagged us a last minute booking at Bob’s; Angel at the front desk who graciously extended our late check out... We are in awe of the outstanding service all around! Additional notes: the grounds are lovely and deserve to be walked at a leisurely pace. Especially now with the festive holiday decorations sprinkled throughout. Housekeeping also earns kudos for keeping things tidy and clean! Although this was our first time staying at La Costa, it won’t be our last. We’re in the Carlsbad area multiple times a year and look forward already to our return visit. As the door hang-tags say: Just 5 more minutes! (You won’t want to leave!). Thank you, All!

For an exceptional stay with incredible amenities and fantastic customer service you can’t beat the Omni La Costa. A romantic staycation in California was truly a magical experience. From Roberto and Miguel are servers in VUE To Ramiro in Bar Traza and Jerry the starter on the South golf course, everyone made sure that your experience is special.

Just arrived and liking it thus far. Beautiful grounds, more than adequate gym area and nice rooms. Kristen P. in sales answered any questions we had as we randomly ran into her in lobby. She was a delight and credit to the property.

We will return to this property as it was very family friendly

The smell at night

The resort was beautiful however upon checking into my room late in the day Monday evening, I noticed blood on my pillows. This was fresh red blood marks, not the darker shade once it’s been settled or washed without removing the stain. The pillows had dozens of small specs but fanned out like someone had sneezed with a bloody nose. I also noticed larger blood spots on the comforter (3-4). There was also blood smears in the bathroom on the tub and vanity area. I called the front desk and they did bring new bedding but it took nearly 45 minutes. I wasn’t offered a new room. I was uneasy about the cleanliness of my room for the remainder of my stay with little consideration taken by the staff.

this is a great place to vacation. wonderful staff and great restaurants, the view are amazing and the golf course is fabulous

The grounds and villas are Beautiful and well maintained. The food was incredible the wait staff was excellent and The views are spectacular. I did not want to leave.

Room had a mixture of dead and live termites in it. Don't stay in room 928. First I noticed them in the bathroom, team came and vacuumed them up. The next day there were live ones on my bed. Not cool.
