Carlsbad, California: Coastal Town North of San Diego

Carlsbad’s swath of golden coastline, nestled between San Diego and LA, is often called the Riviera of the West. It connects several of SoCal’s most well-known beach towns, including La Jolla and Coronado. The city was founded when an artesian well was discovered there in the 1880s, and the locals christened it after Karlsbad, a health-spa village in Bohemian Europe. The discovery of the mineral spring—coupled with the arrival of the Arizona Eastern Railway—helped promote Carlsbad as a tourist destination. It retains a small-town feel, though; its downtown is lined with boutiques, antique stores, and restaurants.

Unspoiled natural beauty is part of what draws people to Carlsbad. Carlsbad State Beach stretches for 4 miles along the Pacific Ocean; here, visitors can swim, surf, or stroll beside the nearby rocky bluffs. The city is also renowned as a premier growing region for poinsettias and ranunculus. Each year, The Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch herald the arrival of spring as 50 acres of ranunculus fields blossom into a spectacular burst of color.

Location can't be beat We've stayed here several times over the years and each experience gets better because we've continued to upgrade our room. This time we had a two room suite which was plenty of room but the bathroom was not off the bedroom, but off the living room. We had two balconies and a great view of the pool and ocean. One afternoon while we were trying to nap they were playing loud music at the pool. The best thing about this hotel is the location. You can walk to everything and it's right on the water. It's really best for families with children and is primarily a timeshare but has a hotel. No restaurant on site but so convenient and the little coffee shop across the courtyard is excellent and so convenient. Good parking garage. We had a mildew smell in our room and left the sliding doors open all day and night to avoid the smell. There were roughly 30 in our group and several others had the same complaint. Believe the secret is to ask for a top floor room. I did mention it to the desk clerk and was told that's how it is at the beach which tells me they are not trying to mitigate the problem.

Getting to Know Carlsbad We went with my daughter's family. We had adjacent rooms. The location was great, we walked across the street to the beach. The older kids rode bikes down the beach trail. One day we ventured into the Town of Carlsbad very quaint ate pizza and went into a candy store yum! The hotel was nice, bedding crisp, beds comfortable and bathroom clean, towels plush. The pool wasn't that warm, but the kids didn't complain. We had drinks and snacks, they were delicious. Overall I'd definitely go back and highly recommend you go too.
