MarBrisa Carlsbad Resort

"Surrounded by other resorts meant there were excellent eating options in walking distance. We enjoyed two of them. But what I was most impressed about with this resort was that they still offer midweek room cleaning. Since COVID we haven't been getting this service at any other resorts. It was a very nice surprise. It is also located next door to Legoland if that's of any interest to you. As location is everything, I was more interested in the beach and the other wonders we discovered nearby. The Flower Fields can't be missed. They were a real delight. Make sure to take the tractor ride. It will take you all the way up into the fields. And the Farmer's Market is held every Wednesday, rain or shine, downtown. There are some food vendors along with the usual sights in a Farmers Market. So if you want to pick up some fresh fruit or nuts for snacks in the room, here's your opportunity. Of course you never have to leave the beautiful resort if you don't want to. You can sit by or in the pool or Jacuzzi. You can eat at The Cove. Heck, you don't even have to leave your room. Sit out on your balcony. Enjoy!"

"A great Hilton Grand Vacations, nice rooms and a great facility. The pool area is really great, three big hot tubs, ping pong other games a few cabanas, hammocks and a large pool. The parking is a bit challenging, you can find it but almost never near your building. The place is off the beaten path, and quiet, we were there in February and left the sliding glass door open to listen to the frogs all night. Really great. Not as much to do in Carlsbad as San Diego, but still a lot to do and nothing including San Diego was that far of a drive. Right next to Lego land, I was told there is a direct entrance into the park from the resort."

"Charge 30 dollars a day to park. Fine print fees are theft. Other then that it is a very nice resort. Happy to change my review to five stars if they charge up front for parking, or eliminate it."

"A Hilton Grand Vacations resort. Had a very roomy one bedroom apartment. Kitchen dishes and utensils were well equipped. Surprised there was no salt and pepper at a minimum for cooking. Bed was comfortable. Several pools and hot tubs from which to choose."

"We stayed in a villa that had 3 rooms and 3 bathrooms in it. It had a large kitchen, and table so the whole family could enjoy breakfasts and lunches there. There are a ton of shopping and restaurants nearby. Not walking distance though. The hotel also does little events for the whole family. We got to enjoy a reptile show! The large pool at the check-in location is nice size and has a lot of little slides and mini pools around. It also has a bar for food and drinks. Lots of seating. It was a ways from our room, but they offer a shuttle to the villa. It's close to the beach, not walking distance though. There's not much parking for the beaches, so we had to drive a ways before we found one that we could park at. It was maybe 3 or 4 miles from the beach closest to the hotel."
