We had a beautiful room with a great view of the ocean in the background. The staff was extremely responsive and nice and we will definately utilize this resort on our return trip to San Diego. However, we are still wondering how such a nice resort would intentionally decide to omit an elevator from its buildings. There are still steps... More

First time at this Hilton Grand Vacation Club. We are owners and have stayed at two in Orlando and one in Vegas. Although I don't have any major complaints...This is place is not nearly as nice as the typical Grand Vacation Club. The walls and floors are very thin. The pool is nice but the poolside bar was never open.... More

Love staying at this resort in Carlsbad. Beautiful resort, close to beach and surf, lots of nice shopping and fun places to go, and very spacious rooms that feel like a second home. Fabulous place to stay. Love returning for a visit every few months!

This was a beautifully decorated room with a very large bathroom and soaker tub. Outside our room was a tropical pool, like you'd see in Mexico. Perfect for a couple on a get away or an entire family!!

This resort is still under construction, however, the villas in the new section are wonderful. The pool area is lovely. The pool bar/grill was only open until 4pm on Saturday & Sunday, they could have stayed open until 6p or 7p and had plenty of customers especially since this is the only place open for food. (The onsite Sheraton has... More

I was pleasantly surprised at this location. Its right above LEGOLAND and central to San Diego and Orange County within an hour each way. We even had a view of the ocean from our suite. What I enjoy about this location is the home-y feeling. We stayed in a studio and it was very spacious, comfortable, clean and well appointed.... More

We took our kids to MarBrisa for a "staycation" at Legoland over the weekend and had a fantastic time! The staff was outstanding. We were checked in quickly and the staff went over all of the amenities and how to use the "private entrance" to Legoland the next day. Our room was beautiful, the grounds were spotless, and we had... More

We just stayed 2 nights in a 1 bedroom unit. It was awesome. You need to come stay here and try it out at least once. It's easy to get to beach, shops, and Legoland. We stayed here as owners on a VIP trip. We love this place. I have a family of five with 3 kids (4, 3, and... More

Nice family style condo with all the amenities and several pools and hot tubs. Also ping pong tables and foosball. You have your own entrance to Legoland and can go to the twenty/20 grill if you like.

Although under construction for some time too come, property is very attractive. Floors are paper thin and unless you are on a top floor room you will regret it. Rooms are good and well appointed. A silly thing to do is to provide HD TV's but feed only an analog signal.
