Top Eli Howard Surf School Hotel Reviews

Brisa Pacific Hotel Encinitas

8/10 Good

"The staff at Brisa are very kind and helpful. They made us feel at home!"

The Encinitan Hotel & Suites

8/10 Good

"My husband and I slept in a comfortable king sized bed, however my adult daughter slept in an uncomfortable sofa bed. Since we were near the railroad tracks we would be awaken in the middle of the night with loud horn blasts. We used the pool and jacuzzi, and had free breakfasts. The hotel is near the beach, tasty restaurants, like the Tangerine Grove. We visited the Full Moon Spa, a wonderful retreat."

Omni La Costa Resort & Spa Carlsbad

10/10 Excellent

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Omni. We are a family with two children 13 and 11 years old. We very much enjoyed the room that we got with a king-size bed and a pullout which worked well for our two children. The staff was incredibly kind everywhere we went. The dining options were plentiful and the ride to nearby village and beaches was convenient. The resort is large and does require a little bit of walking to, and from the centralized dining areas and various pools throughout the property. The family pools (complex of three) is filled with toddlers and their parents. The noise level is very high and unless you have a toddler in to not at all pleasant to swim in. Three other pools that are for general use are much nicer and quieter - those several families with small children and their large Floaties - who want to avoid the loud family pool dominate these areas as well. Again, nothing in comparison to the family pool but not as quiet as a family with teenagers would like. Finally there is a 21+ pool, which we did not see as our kids are still that age where we want to be nearby when they are swimming. The food is fairly priced and there are lots of options. The marketplace allows you to choose things like pastries, espresso drinks, bagels, sandwiches etc. The bar is nice and we enjoyed watching the World Cup. The carts that transport guests throughout the resort sometimes require a wait - best to call ahead. But it all works. We loved our stay!"
