The La Costa staff was attentive, expeditious and very accomodating. They went out of their way to accomodate special requests. I had someone available to assist me or answer questions at every turn. The food was delicious and fresh. The rooms were clean and inviting. I went on company business and stayed 4 days. I will make a point to... more

I'm a separated Mother of two and during check-in time Saturday, June 27th I encounter some problems. Anyway, the person who helped us worked with me and was very understanding. I think his name was Gary. My kids had been looking forward to this stay and it was from beginning till end and amazing experience. This is our second time... more

I have very mixed experiences here. We went over the 4th of July weekend for 2 nights with 3 other families. The place is large and spread out but luxurious, spacious. Check in was easy without any problems. We were in the larger Spa romms. 650 square feet, very large and spacious. I thought the rooms were nice. The bathroom... more

To gain admittance to the pool, it felt like you had to go through airport security. The attendant was rude and unkind. We had stayed at this resort 2 months prior and both of our children had loved the pool area, using all the water slides for hours. This visit, the pool attendant decided our younger child was too short... more

I took my wife and my 6 year old son to San Diego for a week vacation; beach, Legoland, tourism, etc. We typically stay at Westin or Four Seasons(if we can find a good deal). This resort compares favorably to Four Seasons, except it is more relaxed and geared toward families. The reason I say this is the large pool... more

La Costa is very large, with nicely upgraded rooms, 2 golf courses, 17 tennis courts, great pool program for little kids . . . except I wouldn't stay there again if I had the choice. (I didn't have the choice this time.) It isn't charming at all. It's a bit dated. The golf course needs a facelift. The grounds are... more

While the resort is beautiful and kids really enjoy the pool area, we found this paradise to have too many unexpected surprises. First, be prepared for a surprise $34 additional fee per day, which add to $238 in a week. This mandatory "resort fee" is not included in the internet packages and accounts for parking, news paper and internet. Second... more

This was our first visit to La Costa and we were very pleased with everything. The staff went out of their way to be pleasant and helpful. The rooms were nice and the beds were wonderful; we both slept like babies! We enjoyed the wonderful band that played in the courtyard in the evening as we sat on our patio... more

La Costa is simply AWESOME! I travel a lot and normally stay at 5 star hotels, however, La Costa defines 5 star living! The grounds are stunning, multiple pools, so there is no need to deal with screaming children if you choose not to. My room/studio apartment was equipped with a 42" flat screen television, superb bed and bedding, luxury... more
