I specify in-person because calling them on the phone to confirm details was terrible. AI agent phone screen and then when a real person picked up, he seemed to have zero answers about the property and the amenities. In-person though, the service was fantastic. Friendly staff and guest services showing up at lightning speed left me speechless. Called down for extra slippers, and guest services showed up within 5 minutes. Asked for water as well and he returned within 2 minutes. Swear the staff must be sprinting or something. The rooms are great. We got a lagoon view, which while not as beautiful as an ocean view, was quite nice. We had a view of the freeway and a parking lot, but in the not-so-far distance, there was a nice view of the lagoon. The room. patio, and shower are all massive. Even at 100% capacity and a wedding happening during our stay, we never felt like it was too crowded. No loud noises throughout the night either.

We stayed at Alila Marea Beach Resort Encinitas, perched right along the coastline. Although it…read moresits close to the main road, the hotel feels quietly tucked into the edge of the ocean--a low, four-story retreat that opens itself to the sea. What I loved most was the room, especially the shower. It had a thoughtfully designed, thick glass door that opened easily. In most hotels, I hesitate before turning on the water, bracing for that sudden burst of heat overhead. But here, everything was arranged with care, so I could step in comfortably and enjoy the shower without that small anxiety. The details in the room made it even better--a Nespresso machine ready for a slow morning, and a proper water kettle, which always feels like a small luxury. The bed was soft and welcoming, the kind you sink into at the end of a long day. We didn't have an ocean view, but the patio had its own charm--quiet, intimate, and enough to make you pause. The best part, though, was the beach. Just a short walk down the stairs, and your feet meet the sand. The shoreline isn't wide, but it stretches beautifully along the coast. I found myself walking there in the mornings and again in the evenings, letting the rhythm of the waves mark the day. That simple routine--down the stairs, onto the sand--became the most memorable part of the stay.

The area is somewhat hilly, but if you're comfortable with that, just about everything is within walking distance. I stayed in an upper-floor room with an ocean view, and the balcony was a real highlight. It was wonderful to sit outside, enjoy the fresh air, and take in the scenery. The rooms are basic but surprisingly spacious, clean, and comfortable. The bathroom is also simple, but everything was functional and well maintained. The motel offers off-street parking, which is a big plus in this area. If you're looking for an excellent location, clean accommodations, convenient parking, and good value for the price, Moonlight Beach Motel is definitely worth checking out!

This review is not for the hotel itself, but for the pool cabana rental. A group of girlfriends and…read moreI rented a cabana a couple of weeks ago for an early Mother's Day celebration. Parking was valet only which was quick and seamless (and free!). The staff at the entry of the hotel was super helpful in providing directions to get down to the pool as one of my girlfriend's said it was a little confusing to find, but I was given a clear guide on how to get down there and got there without issue. We had our own server at the cabana who provided us with our free fruit plate and bottle of bubbly to share, and took food and drink orders. She and her coworkers checked on us pretty frequently and kept us well-stocked. The day was a little overcast and cloudy but the pool was a lovely cool temp, and the jacuzzi was in the same general area so when we got a little chilly we hopped on over. After spending some time in the adult-only pool area, we headed up to the family friendly deck and took a couple of runs down the slides, which was super fun. Around the time we were meant to clear out, our server was super sweet and let us know they would just start to pick up around us but we were welcome to stay longer if we wanted to, since there was no one coming in behind us. We continued relaxing until we were all ready to go but first we got to chatting with another staff member, Bryan, who was super rad and shared all his favorite nearby spots to eat. The staff is really so wonderful here! Very friendly and professional. Overall my first visit to the Park Hyatt Aviara was very enjoyable, and I would absolutely visit again (preferably on a hot, sunny day). Highly recommend for any and all poolside celebrations!

After a long day at the Legoland water park my family of 4 was ready to shower and get to sleep. Unfortunately the house keeping, which I might add did a wonderful job, they forgot to add towels. I called the front desk, at least 5 times till I finally got through and asked if we could get more towels. She said I need to go grab them from the front , so I did! Once I got there the heavy set older white lady looked very overwhelmed and gave me 2 towels. I asked for 2 more since we are a family of 4. She said there were NO MORE TOWELS TILL THE MORNING !!! So you're telling me in this entire hotel there aren't any towels !!?? Find that hard to believe !! Also at night every other hour there is a train that passes by and blares its horn , so I could not get any sleep! Also at the pool there is no towels available once they are gone .

We stayed for a few nights during our home fumigation and after comparing just about every motel/inn around the Encinitas and Carlsbad area, I'm really glad we settled on this one. Pros: it is clean! That's not to be confused with showing its age, because it absolutely could use a facelift, but the cleanliness was there. It's convenient! Right by the freeway and yet close enough to downtown Encinitas to walk to dinner or shopping. Conveniently located right across the street from Lazy Acres, a laundromat, Mexican food, and Mr. Peabody's bar and grill. It has a nice little gym. Was there some dust? Sure but the equipment and weights did the trick, and the small gym had a little patio to stand on during cool downs. NO added cost to park cars! Some hotels were asking for $30-40 per night per vehicle and this place had the cost covered in the standard $15 hotel fee. Park as many cars as you'd like. Come and go as you please. The parking lot felt safe, and as a woman making several trips to my car in the evening I felt just fine. It's nice that you're up on a hill so you do feel more secluded from any possible unsavory surprises. No hidden fees! They are upfront about taxes and there were no surprises. WiFi was just fine, though our stay was not during busy season. Continental breakfast is included! Fried eggs and sausage were very average, but grab some coffee, a pastry, some toast, juice, cereal and you don't have to think twice about breakfast. It was basic but not gross by any means. This is not the place for you if you're expecting 5 star service, but it would be a great spot for families visiting town. Note: turn down service and daily cleaning is not provided but this was not an issue for us staying just a few days. Comfy beds and pillows, towels are nice. Front desk staff was helpful when needed, and every room has a nice balcony view. The walls are thin so if you're by the elevator or ice machine, expect to hear some kids running down the halls, but this place has everything we needed at a very affordable rate. We would absolutely come back for a little staycation in the future.

My wife uses a wheelchair, so some of this review will be specific to an accessible room…read more(specifically, room 132). We've grown to like Hampton Inns in general because they have such a great breakfast and the rooms tend to be spacious and comfortable, and this was no exception. In this specific case, because our American Express card is linked to Hilton Honors, we were able to use our reward points to book the room (cost us 60,000 points for the night). This was also the first time I had used the Hilton mobile app for Hampton Inn. I was able to use the app to not only book the room, but check in the night before, get a digital key, and check out. I used the digital key in the app to unlock the room door, and it was very fast and easy. There was also a floor plan of the hotel on the app so I could see where our room was located and could walk straight there. The only time I had any interaction with the front desk was to stop by during breakfast the next day to verify that check-out time was noon. Pros: Room was comfortable and spacious, very easy to maneuver the wheelchair in. This particular room has a roll-in shower, and you get a nice, full strength stream of water (so many other hotels have water-saving devices where the stream is fairly weak). Also, the bathroom has a nightlight. At other hotels, I usually have to leave the bathroom light or entry-way light on so I can find my way to the bathroom in the middle of the night without bumping into anything, but the nightlight in the bathroom cast just enough light for me to see. Air conditioning worked well. I was a little confused because there was a thermostat controller mounted on the wall that I couldn't get to power on. Turns out that you control the temperature and fan directly from the A/C unit that's mounted under the window. There's also a switch mounted on the wall that controls the window shade. Nice full breakfast, with sausage, bacon, scrambled eggs, Belgian waffle machines, oatmeal, cereal, yogurt, fruit, different breads to make toast, and a juice machine. Staff was very mindful to keep all of the items stocked up. Tip: for crispier bacon, lay a napkin on a paper plate, put your bacon on it, then press another napkin on top of the bacon to soak up the grease. Roomy desk that was big enough where I could set up my laptop plus a portable external monitor. USB ports by the bed and desk for phone charging. Noon check-out time. We could sleep in and take our time to pack. Cons: Our room (room 132) didn't have any towel racks. The towels are folded nicely on a couple of shelves in the bathroom, and there's a hook next to the shower where the hair dryer hung from, but there were no towel racks to hang face cloths, hand towels, and bath towels once you used them. I looked at some of the pictures from other reviews, and it looks like in a regular, non-accessible room, there are racks mounted on the shower door. But since our roll-in shower had shower curtains instead of a shower door, there were no racks. They could easily mount a couple on the back wall between the shower and toilet. We ended up using the hand rails around the toilet to hang our towels. Could use some more lighting by the dresser/TV. There is a small desk lamp on the desk, and two lights by the head of the bed, but the dresser area gets a little dark at night. The bar in the closet is a little low, but maybe this is to make it easier to reach for someone in a wheelchair. If you have a long dress that needs hanging, your dress is probably going to touch the floor. Seating area for breakfast is a little cramped and small. If you want to move a chair out of the way to make room for a wheelchair, difficult finding a place to put the chair temporarily. There are also some seats in the lobby. Could use some more handicapped parking spaces. There are only four, and all were taken by the time we got there. But there seemed to be plenty of parking in general.
