Top South Ponto Beach Hotel Reviews

Cape Rey Carlsbad Beach, a Hilton Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"The grounds were beautifully maintained. We watched staff meticulously clean the glass around the pool, wiped down railings all the way to the ground. They need a raise ! Every staff we came in contact with was knowledgeable and the training shows. We were greeted by the gift shop cashier, the front desk clerk came around to hand me my room keys. These little things did not go unnoticed. Mya was a great waitress to us! She made our night with being so fun and kind to our party."

Leucadia Beach Inn

"We love staying here. It is a cosy California Bungalow style, what was once called a Motor Court. Very friendly and helpful staff, old school too!"

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Carlsbad - Legoland Area

8/10 Good

"The clerk when we checked in was not friendly at all, but everyone else was. The rooms are starting to be updated (floors and paint). However, the furniture and the showers are old. Our room also had a horrible musty smell. The breakfast offers a lot of options and was good. For the price and location it is well worth it."
