    It was splendid and quick walk to Legoland!

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Check in was supposed to be at 5pm and our room was not ready until about 6pm. I would not recommend the breakfast, overpriced for the quality. Love that the pool hours were until 10pm given we couldn’t get to our room that early but it does get cold at night.

    Checkin at 5 room was not ready we were here for a wedding that was close by we addressed this with front desk wedding was at 6 front desk told us we could change in one of the bathrooms until the room was ready it was already 5:15 we changed in the lobby bathroom got to the crossing wedding venue after 5 30 we received the text the room was ready! Unbelievable! Then at checkin tried to sell us a timeshare! Never ever will my family stay at this place again. Charged over $400 for an overnight wuth no courtesy or apology.

    Very nice, walked to legogland. Kids loved the pool. Activity center is a little silly if I had to criticize something, but generally it was perfect and would stay here again:)

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Well kept. Beautiful vista. Excellent rooms.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Such an amazing stay at Pacific Palisades Resort in Carlsbad! Rosa at the front desk went above and beyond to help my family get settled into our room. She was incredibly pleasant to talk to and very understanding of our family’s needs and requests. The amenities were fantastic—an awesome pool for the kids, fun games throughout the property, and a beautiful view from our balcony. We truly enjoyed our time and would definitely stay here again.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Room was spacious, clean and accommodating in every sense of the word. Some of the pool areas, needed tending to, repairing or cleaning.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Room was very spacious

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Exceeded our expectations!! You can text the front desk 24/7 which was amazing because I hate having to call sometimes when my little ones are sleeping but need something quickly answered. The room was so great it had everything we needed and more. The fact there was a short and bathtub was so helpful for us. The kitchen had many items needed to cook. The pools, playground and other community amenities were so great, never experienced anything like it. We were a 9 min walk to Legoland and so close to the flower fields and many other things to do (strawberry fields). My kids had the best time. Will be returning again with more family in the future.
