We just spent 10 days at the La Costa Spa and Resort in early June. The service was excellent, the staff top notch. the restaurants serve delicious food, the Spa is awesome. The grounds are superb. And very professionally kept. Beautiful Fountains everyone and lots of chairs on which to park oneself! Lots of jacuzzis everywhere. You will enjoy!

Just spent two nights here at a meeting. The rooms were comfortable and nice. There is no turndown service and no newspaper delivery in the morning, two things that usually are offered at most high end hotels and resorts. They did a great job of getting me an early checkin on a Sunday (a super busy day for them). The... More

This was the most challenging hotel reservation experience I have ever had. I spoke to a reservation agent regarding a potential reservation. She recommended that I "have her hold the room for 24 hours, that way Im guaranteed the room is available for me if I decide to move forward with the reservation". I called back 30 minutes later to... More

Dear Liza S: Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. It's certainly not the kind of service we are known for and I really apologize that your reservation process didn't run more smoothly. Our reservation director would like to offer her personal assistance, so if you are open to that, please email us at community@lacosta.com... More

What started as a business trip and then turned into a girl's weekend ended up being an amazing trip to an awesome destination! The grounds are so beautiful. The food was fresh and the staff took the time to ensure my food allergies were respected. The spa is a destination that every woman should put on her list of 'must... More

This hotel has something for everyone! We brought the kids with us (ages 8 and 11 months). They had a blast-- even the little guy. We originally booked the Plaza room, and got bumped up to a La Costa Room when we checked in. The grounds are gorgeous and the rooms are huge! Our 11 month old is walking, so... More

Had clients in town and they booked a 2 bdrm. Villa at La Costa. They were traveling with kids & nanny so this set up was perfect for a family. I didn't stay but had several meetings in their suite which I was VERY impressed to say the least. High end viking appliances & all the amenities needed. Villa is... More

Was at a wedding that occurred during their jazz festival, which happened to overlap. I guess they had different planning staff since the very loud (but fun) jazz festival could have drowned out the relatively brief wedding. Fortunately, during a walk just after the ceremony I walked by the jazz area and heard them say that they had to keep... More

Had a beautiful wedding at La Costa Resort & Spa in August. Weather is gorgeous all year round so any time is the perfect time to escape away to this luxuriously serene resort. Must pay a visit to Blue Fire Grill to have a bite to eat or an exotic cocktail. It's best at night when the sparkling crystallized blue... More

I was just there over the Memorial day 2013 holiday weekend. The best thing about my stay was the location. It was our wedding anniversary weekend, and San Diego brought back their smooth jazz festival and it just so happened to be at the LaCosta resort. We took advantage of the family experience package which included $180 worth of food... More

We celebrated our 15th Anniversary here. The hotel was packed upon arrival as the San Diego Jazz Festival was about to begin. We had reservations at the Blue Fin restaurant and got our car valet parked. The restaurant's service was decent, steak was not as tender as it should have been, but the buffalo ribs starter was DELICIOUS, as was... More
