Gorgeous property with exotic flora and lemon trees. Peaceful and very private. Service was super. Our 8 year old loved the pool area and the indoor bar made some awesome Mojitos! (Terribly expensive but that's a resort) The rooms on the other hand were mediocre for a spa. Granted we were in a lower end room ...but still. I do... More

My husband and I recently stayed at La Costa and had a wonderful experience. We highly recommend staying there. The rooms are beautiful, relaxing and very peaceful. The Spa is wonderful and the staff is very accommodating. It's a bit on the expensive side, luckily we had a gift card. More

Just went back after roughly 10 years. I think the renovation was a big success! There are multiple room types available, to the point of almost being confusing. We ended up changing rooms from a king studio to junior suite to make room for our (adult) kids to stay one night on the pull out couch with a door between... More

Stayed for a conference so I can't comment on prices, but the grounds are nice and the rooms are very comfortable. I had large plush beds, a desk for working (with plenty of outlets), spacious bathroom with large tub, and glass/marble shower. Conference center/ballroom was huge and state of the art. Food was very good, so compliments to catering. TVs... More

My family stayed at La Costa in January, 2012. There were some good and some not so good aspects to our stay. First with the good: The staff is, uniformly, helpful and a pleasure to deal with. The rooms are upgraded and a fairly good size for a standard room. I really did like the upgraded rooms which include modern... More

If you are thinking about joining Lacosta, think long and hard. We joined in 2010 with the pitch of a beautiful gym, private parking, great restaurants etc.... It was all fine until they did the remodel in 2011. If you speak to any member who visits regularly, the 'private' parking is choked with visitors and never policed. The gym is... More

I found the newly renovated LaCosta quite nice and very relaxing. Overall the service was very nice. I would suggest some space heaters in some of the outdoor areas, as it gets quite cold at night and this would make it more comfortable. Also, would like to see a little more variety in the food. Overall, very nice. My room... More
