Many travelers who head for the coast like to stay in resort hotels. If you fall into that category, there are some great Carlsbad resorts that should fit your wants and needs. The most luxurious Carlsbad resort is the Four Seasons Resort Aviara, which also offers the most complete facilities of any resort in the immediate area. The only down side to the Four Seasons Resort Aviara is that it’s not found right on the beach. What it lacks in beachfront access, the Four Seasons makes up for with its impressive spa and its Arnold Palmer signature golf course. On top of having a great spa and one of the best golf courses in California, this resort also boasts some excellent dining choices. Whether it’s a casual meal that you want or a fine dining experience, the Four Seasons can accommodate you. In fact, with service this good, virtually nothing is left unaccounted for. As one might expect at a 5-star resort, well-appointed guest rooms and suites are part of the plan here, and if it’s amenities that you want, it’s amenities that you’ll get. Among the in-room amenities are basics like a hair dryer, an iron, an ironing board, and a telephone. You’ll also enjoy extras like plush bathrobes, premium bedding, high-speed internet access, CD and DVD players, and so much more. While the Four Seasons Resort Aviara doesn’t sit on the beach, it does overlook the picturesque Batiquitos Lagoon and Wildlife Reserve. When the beach calls, the resort’s “beach butler” will be happy to take you there at no extra charge.

For those who want to be a little closer to the Pacific Ocean, there are a handful of mid-priced beach hotels in Carlsbad. Among the best beach hotels in Carlsbad are the Carlsbad Inn Beach Resort, the Hilton Garden Inn, and the West Inn and Suites. It’s a very short walk from the Carlsbad Inn Beach Resort to the beach, so you can spend a lot of time soaking up some sun in the sand if you please. When you’re not enjoying the beach or swimming in the hotel’s pool, you might take a side trip to SeaWorld San Diego, or perhaps head up the coast to see what Oceanside has to offer. The Carlsbad Inn Beach Resort is one of the more affordable Carlsbad resorts, and if you have some extra room to work with in your budget, you might also consider the La Costa Resort and Spa. One advantage to choosing the Carlsbad Inn Beach Resort over the La Costa Resort and Spa is the location. Whereas the La Costa Resort is a bit inland, the Carlsbad Inn Beach Resort is just steps from the sand. Like the La Costa Resort and Spa and the Carlsbad Inn Beach Resort, the Hilton Garden Inn and the West Inn and Suites offer nice rooms at a great price. These beach hotels in Carlsbad aren’t the cheapest accommodations in town, but you certainly get a lot for your money.

Most travelers will be happy to stay at one of the aforementioned Carlsbad hotels, as they offer some of the best rooms and service in town. That being said, budget-minded travelers might find them to be a bit out of their price range. As such, those seeking value more than anything will be happy to know that there are some great discount Carlsbad lodging options. Both the La Quinta Inn and the Ramada Inn San Diego/Carlsbad are close to the beach, as is the Best Western Beach View Lodge. Stay at the Best Western Beach View Lodge, and you’ll be just steps from the Carlsbad Promenade, which means that you’re very close to the beach. Families who are planning to visit LEGOLAND might prefer the value-priced Comfort Inn Near LEGOLAND if they are looking to save on accommodations. As for discount Carlsbad resorts, the Sheraton Carlsbad Resort and Spa or the Tamarack Beach Resort by the Sea are among the cheaper choices, though they still deliver when it comes to comfortable rooms and good service. It wouldn’t be a stretch to say that the Carlsbad hotels are pleasant across the board, so regardless of the rates that you pay, you’re bound to enjoy your stay. To help expand your Carlsbad area lodging choices, you can also consider the Oceanside hotels to the north, or the Encinitas hotels to the south.
