“Even better than when it was a Four Seasons. Very dog friendly!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 12, 2013

Having stayed here when it was a Four Seasons I had high expectations. It is even better now in every way! The occasion of the trip was not festive since I was there with my dog for her to have radiation therapy for a tumor at the close by veterinary center that is unsurpassed in the nation. Everyone from the doormen to the front desk to the maids in the room were welcoming and sincerely pleasant. When our small suite was not ready for an early check in, they were apologetic and upgraded us to the Presidential Suite for immediate check in. The front desk person even went herself to the room to see if it was ready.

There are unlimited miles of trails available for walks and it is only a short drive to perfect beaches.

Room Tip: Any rooms facing the lagoon have a marvelous view!

“Wonderful resort, couldn't have been better!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 3, 2013

We LOVED this resort. Didn't expect too much, just wanted a hotel near Legoland California. The property is wonderful, the staff is super-friendly. Kids were very welcome. Our suite was wonderful, one of the best hotel experiences ever. The pool was nice. We tried the breakfast buffet, which was very good, too. Unfortunately we were sooo spoiled when we had to leave after our 3-night-stay. This should have been the last hotel on our trip.

Stayed July 2012, traveled with family

“Luxury Resort & loved the Le Labo toiletries!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 31, 2012 via mobile

My family (2 kids - 5&8) stayed here for 3 nights while visiting relatives in the San Diego and San Clemente area.

We really appreciated all of the space to store our clothes, luggage, and still have room to run around.

Though the weather was relatively cold for the area, we enjoyed a huge hot tub to ourselves - I used the hotel robe to get there, my kids bundled up in towels.

The place smelled wonderful because of the spa I believe- the spa was a bit too expensive for my budget (~ $90 for a 25 minute facial), but I'm sure it would have been amazing.

The hotel has a game room which we enjoyed. (x box, pool, ping pong, and about 5 video game centers). Unfortunately a couple of the games were out of order and the ping pong ball broken. It was a nice way to spend a couple hours when the weather was cold.

Fitness Center was great- lots of high end equipment, mint water , magazines.

Hotel Onl has valet parking and I felt a bit self conscious going in and out 3 times a day, but the staff was super friendly.

Lastly, I LOVED the Le Labo Bergamot toiletries.... Better than any other hotel ever!

“Excellent stay at an excellent property”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 27, 2012 via mobile

We stayed for 2 nights at the Aviara and were very happy. Every aspect of this property is wonderful. Every employee that we came in contact with was happy and cheerful. The parking valets, front desk personnel and housekeeping all provided service with a smile. We didn't eat at the hotel so I cannot comment on the food and since it was Christmas Eve and Christmas Day only a few restaurants were open. The room was HUGE and newly decorated in a very tasteful way. The large balcony offered beautiful views of the lagoon and the ocean. The beds were super comfy and bathroom was also huge and well appointed. We had no use for internet access so it didn't bother us that it was not included. The gym can be accessed 24 hours a day and was large and clean. The free coffee and tea served in the lobby was a nice touch. In summary, I wouldn't change a thing at the Aviara.

“What can you say...It's a 5 star!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 27, 2012

Excellent! Excellent service, beautiful grounds, clean rooms, attentive staff, delicious food. The pool area is well laid out, private, with amazing views. The staff went above and beyond every day- always, without question or hesitation.
The only bad thing is the remotness of the resort. $25 one way cab fare to get anywhere away from the resort.
