Omni La Costa Resort Hotel Review

San Diego, California is one of the best vacation destinations in the US home to beautiful landscapes & beaches, tourist attractions, and of course the weather. If you are looking for the perfect vacation destination in Southern California and San Diego then the Omni La Costa is a property you need to book. Here is a full Hotel Review for everything you need to know about this property before booking your stay. 

LOCATION

Omni La Costa is located in Carlsbad, California just 30 minutes North of downtown San Diego and minutes from the Pacific Ocean. The resort is tucked away in a secluded and quiet area but just minutes away from major tourist attractions, shopping, and dining in the area. 

THE PROPERTY

The Omni La Costa is a massive property which almost feels like its own community. As you pull into the main entrance and valet area you will find a little main street area where you can find shopping and dining options. Surrounding that is over 500+ rooms and villas  which makes you immediately feel like you’ve been transported to Europe with the Spanish style architecture and beautiful landscaping. 

There are 8 distinct pools on property with something for everyone. There is kid-specific pool area featuring a zero entry shallow pool, toddler slides, larger water slides, & splash areas which are also around the main pool areas. There is a quiet spa pool you can use when booking a treatment as well as an Adult only pool which has cabanas, an outdoor bar, and multiple hot tubs that surround the large pool area. 

This resort truly has everything you need for a health and wellness getaway. There is a beautiful 9,000+ SF Athletic Club, 12 Hard and Clay Outdoor Tennis Courts (lighted too!), 4 pickleball courts, and 2 championship golf courses on property. Treat yourself to a spa treatment or relax at the outdoor pools. 

This is a great family fun resort. But if you are looking for some quiet time or to go golf, you can rest assured that there is a full kids club area on property. Book a stay for your kids where they will be looked after by a huge staff in a room filled with nap areas, toys, snack areas, and a large fish tank. Additionally, there is a game room nearby that will surely attract your kids' attention. 

There are multiple ballrooms on property as well which would make a perfect venue for a business retreat or wedding featuring both beautiful indoor and outdoor space. 

DINING

There are multiple areas to dine from on property whether you are looking for a casual snack by the pool or a more formal fine dining experience. 

Enjoy a quick bite at Splash Cafe, the Spa Cafe, or the Marketplace where you can find everything to start your day or when you’re looking for a midday snack. 

Vue is the perfect place to enjoy breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Looking over the golf course you can enjoy a meal outdoors on their terrace while enjoying the beautiful Southern California weather. They have great food with large portions. 

Bar Traza serves Mediterranean shared plates overlooking the resort’s lush golf courses and is a great choice for Lunch or Dinner. 

Bob’s Steak & Chop House is the ultimate dining option on property with impressive dining options from dirty martinis to flavorful steaks. 

THE ROOMS

There are many different types of accommodations on property to choose from with over 500+ rooms available. There i something for everyone from traditional guest rooms, villas, suites, and even presidential suites which were renovated in 2024. The new refreshed design blends the history of the property while upgrading to a more modern feel. Enjoy being away from home with rooms that have balconies, patios, fireplaces, and super comfortable beds. 

The Presidential Suite brings an elevated experience perfect for families. There is a wet bar, oversized living room, fireplace, a large dining room table, and even a pool table! It feels like a home. The Suite comes with an extremely spacious bedroom with multiple massive closets and a huge bathroom. This is one of the largest suites I have ever seen. You can connect an adjacent 2 bed room as well for more space for kids or other guests staying. 

OVERALL IMPRESSION

As soon as you pull in to the entrance you know you have arrived for a great getaway. There is so much to do on property and everywhere you look there is something going on from live music to evening popsicles being handed out (you don’t have to be a kid to enjoy one!). I was definitely impressed by the stay and would recommend this property as one of the better choices when planning a trip to Southern California.
