Omni La Costa Resort & Spa Carlsbad

I booked a last-minute staycation at the Omni Carlsbad for a much-needed weekend of relaxation. First time at this property. I specifically requested a room with one of the oversized bathtubs when I booked and confirmed that request again at check-in since that was the main reason I chose this property. Unfortunately, it ended up being a disappointment. After checking in Friday evening, I unpacked all my bath goodies and was ready to unwind, only to find that the bathtub drain wouldn’t close. I spent about 20 minutes trying to figure it out before calling the operator. It took about an hour and twenty minutes for someone to arrive, but they eventually got it to close and said it was fixed. Saturday morning, I grabbed coffee and a breakfast sandwich from the Marketplace. The coffee was fine, but the sandwich was greasy and smashed. Thankfully, the staff handled it well and refunded my money without issue. The highlight of my stay was definitely the 21+ Edge Day Club pool — amazing views of the golf course, comfortable chairs, great service, and delicious drinks. I also enjoyed Bar Traza both Friday and Saturday night. The food, drinks, and service were excellent. It’s a fun sports bar atmosphere, outdoor seating with views and I even got to watch my Dodgers win the WS. Unfortunately, when I returned to my room Saturday night hoping to unwind with a bath, the drain wouldn’t close again. I tried again Sunday morning with no luck, so I called the front desk once more. This time, maintenance arrived much quicker but was still unable to fix the issue. The front desk kindly offered to waive the resort fee and parking as compensation, which I appreciated. Still, it was disappointing not to be able to use the feature I had looked forward to most all weekend. I stayed in building 2011, and by the time I checked out, maintenance was on their way to repair the bathtub. Hopefully, the next guest gets to enjoy the relaxing soak I was hoping for.

Omni always exceeds expectations. The staff is extremely friendly and always willing to help and accommodate. This omni is gorgeous and well taken care of.

Calm and Peaceful. A perfect blend of nature and modern day living. A lot to remember and cherish, and absolutely nothing to regret. I wish I had longer stay. Thanks to the staff who're very polite and always willing to help.

This resort was just beautiful! My company hosted our client conference here and the staff went above and beyond to make it a great experience for us and our clients!

I was at the Omni La Costa for a conference. The property is enormous (I believe someone said 400 acres - it had a bit of a camp feel; scattered around the golf course). My room, located in Carlsbad felt like it was in lower LA. The people were wonderful, there were golf cart transports to get you around and that could be called for rides (and then you felt compelled to tip helpers). I got many steps in walking from outer LA to the conference center. It was a beautiful walk with sweet smells. My room was gorgeous. It overlooked the end of the golf course, a play ground. It had a sitting area, a bedroom, a dressing area with closets and makeup table and mirrors, it had one sink. My issue: that sink was about at my neck (and I’m about 5’4”). If you’re male or a tall female- it would not be an issue. It was difficult for me to use. I don’t usually have any issues (I’m an average height female, …maybe at the high end of the petite scale). Definitely not contemplating women on the smaller size here! There was the ordinary “save the planet, reuse your towels “ card but there wasn’t any towel bar to hang a towel on. Zero. None. For a hand towel or a bath towel for the gorgeous bath tub or separate shower. Towels sat on the toilet seat. There wasn’t a hook to be found for the bathrobe that wasn’t provided (I don’t need a bathrobe but hook? Towel bar? Something… I need it to hang toiletries). So, poorly designed bathroom but lovely room. Details are really lacking.

Great stay

We were so impressed with the outstanding service and friendliness of everyone at the Omni—from the restaurant staff to housekeeping and the groundskeepers. Every person we encountered was warm, kind, and always greeted us with a smile and a cheerful hello. It made our stay truly enjoyable.

Spent my birthday there and had an excellent massage, spa amenities were wonderful - probably the nicest spa I've been too and not one bit cramped, servers at Vue are delightful, and they even gave me a room upgrade without asking. If it was on the ocean it'd be perfect but pretty darn close!

Omni La Costa Resort is a gorgeous place with amazing tropical landscaping, mediterranean architecture, lots of palm trees with sprawling golf course views! It's was a delight to have stayed at this resort. Very kind and friendly staff. The resort had beautiful pools, restaurants and condominium options too.

My running shoes went missing from my room during my recent stay. I reported the issue to the staff and requested that the shoes be found or that I be compensated, but I have not received any response or follow-up.
