Nestled along the sunny Pacific Coast in Northern San Diego and only 150 steps to the surf, Cape Rey is the adventurous choice for the California traveler who seeks something different and unique. With spectacular views of picturesque South Carlsbad beaches, the resort sits atop the crest of a series of gently rolling berms - a crest we like to call the Cape! At the Cape you are just minutes from LEGOLAND(R)California and the historic Del Mar Race Track, or a short coastal drive to SeaWorld, the San Diego Zoo or Safari Park, famous regional wineries, and award-winning craft breweries. For the adventurous types we outfit you for local deep-sea fishing, sailboat cruises, horseback riding, paddle boarding, snorkeling, surfing lessons, and kayak explorations. Foodies enjoy dining on-property at Chandler's, where you'll find familiar favorites prepared with a twist. For connecting rejuvenation with mind, body and soul, we offer one of the top 5 Hotel Spas in the U.S. By Travel & Escape, the Ocean Crest Spa. And with an array of excursion locales and onsite amenities, there's always something to do, see or eat at the Cape.

For almost $300 a night for their most basic 2 Queen Bed and overall experience, it was not worth the money. The quality of the room did not meet our expectations for being almost $300. There’s some scratches in the furniture. I saw a stain on the wall by the mirror. The pillows weren’t comfortable either. A pro is Google Chromecast on their TV! We took the shuttle to beach, which was part of the activities they offer. I wish we stayed there longer because we waited for hours to get into the pool but it got contaminated by poop. Based on my experience and the money that was paid for it, I do not recommend staying here.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're disappointed to hear that the quality of the room did not live up to your expectations. We apologize for the long wait at the pool, unfortunately during these trying times limited pool capacity is to protect the safety of our guests. Please know that we will be sharing your feedback with our team and that we will work to do better next time.

We booked through the Hotel Tonight app. It was a last minute booking on Friday, July 3rd, 2020 for only one night but at the rate of almost $500 per night after taxes/fees. The room (#2097) provided was adjacent to the roof-top mechanical systems and the window to the room did not open. Presumably, the hotel did not want guest wandering out onto the mechanical level. So --- no view whatsoever. In addition the room AC did not work and room temperature was stuck at 76 deg F. To pay that much money for a hotel and room of such low quality was really disappointing. I'm happy to pay $400 to $1000 per night for a good hotel but this was not one of those.

After the first night we upgraded our room for a view. We were given a handicapped room, which would be fine except we didn’t request it, and it had a bathroom with zero counter space and a shower that literally flooded the entire floor of the bathroom. We had to ask for extra bath mats to try and soak up the water every time we showered. We were also placed directly next door to the gym and heard weights being dropped on the floor at all hours. If I knew this was the “upgrade” I’d have kept my viewless room. The rooms were also very dirty. Nothing had been wiped down and there was food remnants, dust and debris over every surface. Stains on the bedding and the carpet just made the space feel very dirty. This was our second stay here while visiting our son who is stationed at Camp Pendleton and we really felt it was a letdown. We’ll be finding another option for our upcoming trips.…

I booked a balcony room overlooking the ocean for our 20th wedding anniversary and was bitterly disappointed when we were given a pool view room with a slight view of the ocean through dirty windows. Management blamed my timeshare for booking the wrong room which apparently was not true. Gave away a reserved table at restaurant as well.

What a great location and stay. Only one night but you can’t beat the view and locale right across the street from the beach. Really loved Jose in the Chandler on property restaurant that let us try several different wines and even taught us a few new things. Would love to come back!
