Marbrisa is a very fun, clean, and very kid friendly place to stay! It has a very beautiful view and it is in the proximity of Legoland and even includes a private entrance. Marbrisa's staff are very friendly and they help make your stay enjoyable. There are many activites for kids, but does not limit fun for adults. There is... More

As HGV members, we were looking for places to stay in San Diego. There are 3 properties in Carlsbad and we chose this one since there was availability. This place is easy to get to from San Diego only if you have a car, otherwise, I don't recommend staying here. They do have free parking. The lobby can be difficult... More

I'm not sure where the bulldozers and mounds of dirt are?? First stay here; my first impression of the lobby was it was an afterthought... But once you check in, everything else is great. The 3 bdrm room we stayed in was well equipped and quite large. The main & second bdrm have a king sized bed, quite nice, and... More

This Hilton Grand Vacations location is a work-in-progress. As of this writing, most of the "resort" is still under construction. Only a few of the hotels (which are more like motels) are complete. When you look up "Hilton Grand Vacations Club at MarBrisa" online you'll see an artist rendering of this "resort." The reason being is that most of the... More

Stayed there in April 2012 with the kids during their spring break. Quite far from San Diego (30 mins) but the drive was nice and easy. What we liked best was the proximity to Legoland. There is a separate entrance in the back so you can skip the lines and crowd at the Main Gate. We had a corner, top... More

The resort is not comparable to other Hilton Grand Vacation Club resorts in terms of room quality and amenities. It costed significantly less than the others but I assumed most of the price difference is due to its location, which is not in a prime realty area. But that is not the only reason. We got a Studio. Most hotels... More

Our visit to Hilton Mar Brisa was one of the worst vacation accomodations I have ever had. First of all it is definitely NOT a resort!! It is a motel/hotel. Prior to arrival I reserved a first floor accomodation and asked for a handicap unit because I was going to have knee surgery and needed to have easy access, without... More

I stayed a week at the Hilton Grand Vactions Club at MarBrisa. I found everything about the resort to be first class. The employees of the resort were absolutely the most friendly and helpful that I have experienced. They bent over backwards to ensure that my stay met my standards. The facilities were also very good. Since the resort is... More

We weren't disappointed. Certainly a newer facility, we enjoyed the one bedroom villa. We had issues with our refrigerator not working and in a very short time, a small apartment size one was brought in (that worked fine for what food we brought in). Our kids are older so we didn't do Legoland. Liked the location which was mostly quiet... More

We've stayed at a few of their resorts in Carlsbad and this one is my least favorite. It is still in the building process but the current set up kind of sucks. We had two rooms and arranged way ahead of time to get the two rooms next to each other and on the 2nd floor. Of course when we... More
