Excellent property to stay at with or without kids. Beautiful ocean view lots of restaurant options nearby. Clean rooms. Friendly staff. Spacious rooms.
It was last minute getaway and the registration, accommodations, staff, was wonderful from check in to check out. We would love to come back and stay even longer to enjoy all the amenities.
checking in and out are quick and easy. They will also accommodate early check in if available. Staff will let you know right away. Staff are all pleasant. Big and clean rooms! Karl Strauss restaurant is in the parking lot. Great food, music and drinks!
The hotel should have music in the hotel lobby restaurant/bar and pool area for customers to enjoy hanging out in those areas.
Thank you Grand Pallisades! We enjoyed our stay!
Traveling with family to Legoland and came across this resort. Recommend staying here. Short walk to Legoland. Has everything you need to make your stay comfortable. Enjoyed our three rooms. Clean room, staff helpful and the view over the flower fields out to the ocean was nice. Enjoyed the pool and splash area for the kids. Ordered food and drinks from onsite restaurant. Only there for one night so unable to do all the extras that are included with your stay. Activity room, game room, gym and jacuzzi. Also had a very nice adult pool.
The resort is very family friendly and was a nice relaxing get away for us. We had a problem with our AC when we first checked but the staff was very helpful and we had it fixed quickly. I would definitely recommend this place!!
Villa was perfect size for family of 5 to stay and with easy access to pool and kids play area. Outside BBQs for use were a great feature as well. Access into San Diego and La Jolla was perfect for day trips and outlet mall nearby was great for shopping. Would definitely recommend.
The room was very clean, the amenities were great for the kids, the main pool and bar looked amazing!
Texting for towels, birthday candles and late check out made things go so smoothly.
Great place to stay when visiting Legoland if wanting to stay off property but within walking distance. Very short walk that is mostly shaded. My kids loved the family pool and the splash pad/playground areas. It was spacious and clean, a great home base for the week. We drove a (low roof) ford transit van and were able to park easily in the garage (which staff stated was 7’ but we were still a bit nervous about prior to arrival). The resort offers several activities every day in case there are pockets of free time you are wanting to fill, and you are able to borrow beach toys, towels, etc. as needed.
We had a wonderful stay! The hotel was very clean, the staff were friendly and helpful, and it’s a great place for kids. The location is perfect and made everything so convenient. We would definitely recommend staying here!
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.
Love the separate bedrooms for our family with walking distance to Legoland! Beautiful ocean views and fun splash area and playground on the property.
The only thing we thought unusual was the room upkeep itself: you can only request a change of sheets and other things needed. They only come to replace towels and paper goods Tuesdays and Thursdays. We did not realize our bedding was not already included during those days and came back to the same sheets, and the same dirty makeup towel on the bathroom counter, not replaced. By the time we wanted our sheets done again, we were too busy to make that request. It should be a requirement of changed sheets every two days or three at the request of the guest. Same may find this convenient to request whatever is needed but we found it rather another hurdle when we had so much going on during the day.
