I spent a week in La Costa resort while attending a Chopra Centre event. The staff are extremely friendly, can't do enough to help you, and appear sincere. The grounds are maintained to an impeccable standard; beautiful flowers and water features are in abundance. I didn’t get to make full use of the facilities due to my limited time but... more

We are tennis... more

When my wife and arrived at La Costa, we were warmly greeted by the valet parking attendant and the receptionist. Our room was upgraded and some delicious chocolate covered strawberries awaited us in our room after we went for a stroll in the beautifully manicured grounds and browsed in the shops at the resort. Our secluded suite, which overlooked the... more

My family recently took a trip to California, and I happened upon this resort when making our plans. When we first arrived, we were not expecting such a lavish place, but it turned out, to our great delight, that we had as much fun at our La Costa in the evenings as we did visiting local parks, etc. My only... more

The La Costa Resort has a beautiful group of buildings in a gorgeous setting. We traveled with our 3 year old and another family with a 2 year old. One of the things that attracted us to the resort was that it was family friendly. We were disappointed to find that there was no changing table in the lobby restrooms.... more

LaCostaTeam, Manager

As a family-friendly resort, we appreciated this guest's observation that it would be helpful to have a baby changing station in our lobby restrooms. The changing stations are being installed this week, so future family guests will benefit from the convenience.

Our San Diego-based company hosted a small strategic planning conference here early this week. Although I'd attended meetings at this property, I had never before been a guest of the resort or had an opportunity to take advantage of the spa services. The main focus of our strategic planning was service, and the staff at the resort gave us plenty... more

My husband, 2 children and I returned to La Costa this year for the second summer in a row. We enjoyed a weekend at the resort last year, and had a such a relaxing experience that we decided to extend our stay to 5 nights this time. We were not disappointed! The room was clean and lovely, with a remodeled... more

The place was nice enough, but we extended our trip through the weekend and found much better value at hotel locations actually in San Diego. No complaints as far as service and cleanliness, but the rooms were kind of weird (three times longer than it was wide?)... the bed could only fit in one way and it was right up... more

Outstanding!

I should preface this by relating that October is definitely “off-season” at La Costa, so the smaller number of guests could certainly have impacted the level of service we received (which was excellent). My wife and two adult daughters accompanied me to La Costa for a conference I was attending there. Check-in could not have gone smoother. I had reservations... more
