Carlsbad Inn Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent
"Excellent property, friendly staff, rooms were clean. We had a lovely time. They even have a shower to wash your feet at the entry to the property when you come back from the beach to try and minimalize the sand on the property."

Beach Terrace

Beach Terrace

10/10 Excellent
"We loved this place and its special touches. The location is unbeatable and the property is well thought out. The poncho robes in the room are excellent as are the blankets for outdoor use, very cozy. The balcony was wonderful and we could sit out at night and watch the waves crashing on the shore, the sound was divine. The wristbands are a nice touch and makes it easy to go out on the beach without having to carry a bag. The breakfast was healthy and delicious. The property is very walkable to restaurants also. We will be back."
