“Perfect escape”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 28, 2013

The Beach Terrace Inn very graciously donated a two-night stay to the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy to be auctioned at the River Valley Fest, the organization's annual fundraiser. After a spirited bidding at the silent auction, my wife and I won the prize. We recently used the gift certificate to celebrate our anniversary.

Everything was perfect: gorgeous room, pleasant staff, amazing facility, ideal weather, and splendid views. We also found the location to be very convenient, as we enjoyed walking to Carlsbad Village for lunches and dinners.

“Spa luxury”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 22, 2013

Our brief stay at the BeachTerrace Inn was one of the highlights of a beautiful trip. From the first encounter with the incredible desk staff, to the spacious and beautiful room, there was nothing lacking. Truly a blissful spa treatment not to be passed.

“Wow!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 20, 2013 via mobile

My husband and I stayed here for Valentine's Day. I thought I had booked an ocean view patio room, but hadn't, so we were initially disappointed in the pool terrace room we got. But we soon got over that with the phenomenal view and wonderful service. The location is paralleled. Even the breakfast is fabulous. And...tonight I got a package in the mail. I had left an item of clothing in the room - and the hotel generously sent it, without even a call to see if I could pick it up or pay for it. We will be back!

“Our New Favorite Beach Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 20, 2013 via mobile

Our stay at the Beach Terrace Inn could not have been better! The room was spotless. The restroom was immaculate. For the money, a beach front room is the only way to go. With so many places to eat and shop within walking distance, we parked the car and didn't have to move it the entire stay. The complimentary breakfast was great, especially the hours (7:00-11:00), which allowed us time to sleep late. We are ready to book our next stay!

“Amazing Place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 20, 2013

I stumbled upon the Beach Terrace Inn on Trip Advisor, looking for a place near LegoLand that was kid friendly but not kid crazy, close to the beach and the village so we could walk to dinner at night and enjoy more than just the amusement park. This place looked so spectacular on the website - huge rooms with amazing decor, beach front location, heated pool & hot tub right on the water, breakfast/parking/internet included - and the price was reasonable so I was expecting to be a little disappointed as it seemed to good to be true. It totally exceeded my expectations. I loved everything about it. We got lucky (for Feb) and spent a day on the beach, a day at legoLand and a day paddle-boarding on the local lagoon. The hotel was spectacular - such pretty design with a very relaxing atmosphere plus very friendly and helpful staff - and the town is wonderful too. I highly recommend and can't wait to return!
