We took our kids to MarBrisa for a "staycation" at Legoland over the weekend and had a fantastic time! The staff was outstanding. We were checked in quickly and the staff went over all of the amenities and how to use the "private entrance" to Legoland the next day. Our room was beautiful, the grounds were spotless, and we had... More

We just stayed 2 nights in a 1 bedroom unit. It was awesome. You need to come stay here and try it out at least once. It's easy to get to beach, shops, and Legoland. We stayed here as owners on a VIP trip. We love this place. I have a family of five with 3 kids (4, 3, and... More

Nice family style condo with all the amenities and several pools and hot tubs. Also ping pong tables and foosball. You have your own entrance to Legoland and can go to the twenty/20 grill if you like.

Although under construction for some time too come, property is very attractive. Floors are paper thin and unless you are on a top floor room you will regret it. Rooms are good and well appointed. A silly thing to do is to provide HD TV's but feed only an analog signal.

We stayed in a studio in the 2nd phase of the property, which we were told was completed Dec. 2012. The actual room was VERY nice...everything new, fancy bathroom counter, nice toiletries and a beautiful pool area. It was April so it was pretty quiet around there...most of the time we were the only people in the entire pool area!... More

Recently spent 3 nights at Hilton's Marbrisa resort in Carlsbad, CA. The resort did not even measure up to the standards of an average Hampton Inn. I followed up on my reservation several days prior to arrival and specifically asked for accommodations that did not face the pool. I was told the resort was not too crowded so there would... More

We stayed at this property for about 10 days. It was pretty awesome. Although it was still "a resort in progress" , this resort had all the amenities you would need. The proximity to Legoland was also great, and from our room (Villa 53) you could not hear any noise. This is a pretty big resort and to walk from... More

Lovely place for those that want a Southern California vacation. Close enough to the San Diego scene for the attractions there and Disney is within reach if you plan around rush hours. Legoland next door. The property is still being developed so the usual site amenities are not yet there. Staff is responsive and friendly.

This newer Hilton resort is right next door to Legoland. The area is still under development, and actually shows up as a field in Google Earth. The hotel is similar to the HGVC on Waikaloa on the big island of Hawaii, but just a notch less. In my opinion Hilton's suites under the HGVC label (not their hotels though) is... More
