8/10 Good
"I loved that we could use the pool before check-in. The restaurant was easy to access and food was good. Our kid loved the wizard room, with bunk beds and fun wall art. The part that could be improved is the checkin and baggage delivery process - our check-in time was close to dinner time and staff has very little visibility into time to completion even if they want to help."

8/10 Good
"We stayed at the hotel for 4 days with 2 kids. The hotel was spacious and very relaxing. The pools and waterslides were the main attraction! It was a short ride to downtown Carlsbad or Encinitas which offer great dining options. The beaches were also a short ride from the hotel which made for a fun visit! I would say the service was good but not great. The resort was packed on Saturday and the pool area was very busy and they didn’t fully open the restaurant or waterslides until 11am. We also had issues with the google chromecast in the room. But other than that everything was great!"
