Top Carlsbad Lagoon Hotel Reviews

Beach Terrace

10/10 Excellent

"This is a wonderful hotel and I look forward to returning here. The location and view are spectacular. They have so many thoughtful amenities from blankets and shawls out by the beach chairs and fire pits. The breakfast were made up of delicious pastries and breakfast sandwiches/items. Our room which was right off the pool was large, clean and perfect. The bed and pillows were very comfortable and if you preferred a different type of pillow you could request it. The hotel is right by all the shops and restaurants in Carlsbad village. The staff, especially Michelle, were so welcoming, nice and accommodating."
