Grand Pacific Palisades Resort

Beautiful place, clean, lots of amenities for the family to enjoy, super helpful staff. The restraint in the lobby was not so helpful, we stood around waiting to be greeted then we just decided to leave.

Fantastic stay! The room was clean, spacious, and everything we needed. Location was wonderful, overlooking the Carlsbad flower fields and ocean.

We had a wonderful stay! The hotel was very clean, the staff were friendly and helpful, and it’s a great place for kids. The location is perfect and made everything so convenient. We would definitely recommend staying here!

The location is great. Good walking distance to Legoland. I love the family pool and splash pad. I think it was a good value for your money especially considering they have two bedroom suites. The staff was also amazing. Shoutout Gilbert & Rose. What was lacking is the condition of the property itself. The floors in our suite were some sort of laminate plank that were coming up all over the place. That could pose a pretty significant safety hazard. I also have to mention that when I first arrived, I was assigned to a room that a family was already in. I walked in the door to find them and all of their stuff inside. It was really awkward and concerning, but the staff handled it very well in my opinion. Hopefully the family who I walked in on felt the same way. There was construction underway, one of the elevators was down, and the bridge across the middle of the property was kind of sketchy. The food from Karl Strauss was not good. We also ordered beers several times and they were all pretty good and arrived to the room quickly. Again, I think the staff was great. The cooking supplies in the room was awesome. I do recommend if you aren’t worried so much about the condition of the property-needing a significant renovation. It’s up in the air if I would stay there again or not.

The pullout bed was super dirty, the hot water took forever to get warm the first day and the second day we didn’t have any hot water, the elevator was broken that led to the room. We were unable to buy water in the lobby when we arrived and the place where you could get filtered water was locked. The front desk person at check-in (man) was nice but the rest of the women were not very friendly and one girl lectured me when I asked about the pool. The night security guy named Timothy was amazing. Definitely helped us and even helped find us water. This guy could have ran the hotel. He was a gem.
