Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, although clean and spacious, were not ready upon our arrival, but being on the top floor in the Pointe section offered stunning East balcony views of the golf course, airplanes, and mountains. The service was excellent overall, with friendly and attentive staff, although there was confusion about the location of certain amenities. The location was convenient, close to various attractions and dining options, but some areas were under renovations, impacting the overall experience.
I was on the top floor in the Pointe section, offering beautiful East balcony views of the golf course, airplanes, and mountains. The rooms were clean and had a pull-out sofa, making it very spacious. However, the pool area is relatively smaller compared to the Cove section.
I couldn't have asked for a better stay! The hotel is ideally located near the beautiful Carlsbad Beach and within reach of fantastic dining options. The rooms are spacious, modern, and tastefully furnished, providing a cozy ambiance. The service was impeccable, attentive from check-in to check-out. However, the dining experience lacked variety, and the price could be a bit steep for some travelers.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The room was a one-bedroom with a full kitchen, conveniently located right across from a fantastic pool. It was a bit isolated from the main hotel and its amenities, offering a peaceful retreat. The service was attentive, ensuring our needs were promptly met. The location was central, providing easy access to various attractions. Although there were some construction disturbances, the overall experience was enjoyable.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was great, near the Sheraton where my conference was taking place and close to Carlsbad village for restaurants and nightlife. The room had some issues as it was not ready upon check-in, but the service at another Hilton Grand Vacations property with Hilton was amazing. However, the area seemed to be under construction, which was a downside.
