Visited for my birthday. Best decision ever. I enjoyed every moment. The staff at the reception? A+. My room? A+. Definitely get the room with a view of the ocean. The photos are from the rooftop bar.

*This review is for the rooftop restaurant* Fantastic experience from start to finish. Typically when you go to places in great locations with amazing views, the food doesn't measure up. That is not the case here. The service overall was top notch. The hostess accommodated us despite being late for our reservation and we were able to grab a cozy table by the ocean. We really enjoyed Austin, our server, as well. I always forget how incredibly fresh the food is in California until I get here. Each dish we ordered was outstanding - unique preparation and great flavors. We loved the oysters, whipped feta, artichokes, and mushrooms. The Albariño was crisp and delicious as well. Would absolutely recommend.

Nice hotel and rooms. Very friendly, they give you wine when you check in. We ordered food at the rooftop bar and had some pretty good food. There are also places within walking distance to eat at.

My favorite place to stay

Mission Pacific does not disappoint! My third stay and it's been almost a year. Mission has stepped up their game since I was here last! Becca who checked me in was fantastic. She offered me a glass of sparkling cider but first handed me a tray of cold towel. The service here is impeccable! She saw that it was my birthday and had staff send me a note and chocolate. I got upgraded to a Sanctuary Studio Oceanfront which was ready at 11am. The room is amazing. The view is to die for. The tub with a loofah was relaxing. Jaden the beach butler is always very helpful and courteous. Note that you do have to take the umbrella and chairs down and walk it back to the shack. That can be difficult. That's something I wished they would change. Other than that, it was such a nice weekend. We had front row seats to a concert.

Outstanding experience! We LOVED this hotel. The property is a 5 minute walk to the beach and pier. We stayed through the AMEX Fine Hotel & Resort Program ( if you are considering the same kind of stay, please see my photo with all of the program benefits). The hotel property is gorgeous and immaculately maintained. The rooftop bar is a must see- the decor is beautiful and relaxing & offers phenomenal views of the ocean. Guests can use all of the amenities at their sister hotel 'The Seabird', which we took full advantage of. All staff were polite, helpful and welcoming. Hotel rooms are comfortable with tasteful decor. We enjoyed our balcony, which offered a great view of the Pacific Ocean.

Delayed review... oops!!!! Is this a 5 star all inclusive resort? No! Is it everything you want and need from a hotel??? Absolutely!!! A glass of wine at checkin? Yes please! Across the street from the beach? Yup! Plenty of variety of restaurants/bars withen walking distance? Absolutely. A beach bag and beach friendly sandals to use in your room? I was just as surprised as you. The NICEST valet guys ever? Another check. We LOVE the San Diego area (mostly Gaslamp) but decided to give Oceanside a try for our recent anniversary & boy did we fall in love!!! Booking this hotel was the first of many happy memories from our weekend. And from what I can tell a definite future vacation choice in Oceanside!!! The room layout was amazing.... The way the bathroom doors fully opened, made the room feel so big. Everything was spotless! Plenty of storage. Balcony was roomy and the chairs were so comfy! Will we be back? Yes please.

This hotel was honestly so close to perfect. The rooms were clean, the views were gorgeous, and the staff was very kind and welcoming. But I'm extremely disappointed because my headphones were stolen out of my car while it was parked with valet. It's really sad and makes it hard to feel comfortable coming back, even though the rest of the stay was amazing.

I used my AMEX credit to book a stay at Mission Pacific Beach, the sister hotel to Seabird. I chose this property because reviews said it was more upscale and geared toward adults, while the other hotel felt more family focused. Check-in was great. The staff were warm, helpful, and even upgraded our room as part of the AMEX perk when available, which I appreciated. Now for the room. The view of the ocean and boardwalk was beautiful, but the room itself felt very average. The mattress was uncomfortable, and there's no bathtub, just a shower. Even the robes felt cheap and thin. For a four-star hotel, referred to as a Fine Resorts hotel, I expected more. As far as amenities, I didn't check out the fitness center, but an employee mentioned the sister property has the better gym. You can use amenities at both locations, but there aren't many dining options here. The rooftop bar is cute with a relaxed vibe, and I've been to Valle for my birthday before, which was fantastic. But for the AMEX-included breakfast, you have to go to the sister resort, which isn't really the atmosphere I want when I book a staycation. I do have to say the blackout curtains were great. They worked perfectly. Checkout was where things went downhill. Around 10 a.m., housekeeping knocked. I put up the Do Not Disturb sign and let them know we had a 4 p.m. checkout. Not long after, someone else knocked. I told them the same thing. Then a third knock. At that point, it was frustrating. The team really needs to pay closer attention to the DND sign and the fact that AMEX guests have confirmed late checkout. When I went downstairs to check out, they said they'd email my receipt, but it never arrived. Overall, the hotel is just okay. The Michelin-star restaurant is the standout, but outside of that, there aren't many food options, not a lot of amenities, and the energy is extremely quiet. If you're planning a staycation, I wouldn't recommend it. You'll end up needing to leave the property to find anything lively or interesting.

The entire resort was amazing! The service was top-notch from the moment we parked to the moment we left. From Valet to bar security to checkout, we encountered a crew of world class hospitality workers. Coming from Vegas, I'd like to say that means something extra. We absolutely loved everything from the delightful scent of the hotel to the easy access to the beach. Our room was clean and well laid out. And guess what? The Top Gun house was right on the property! It was like something out of a movie! Now, I must warn you about the restaurant, Piper. We had a terrible experience there. For dinner, we ordered a $100 ribeye, medium, pasta, octopus, and a few drinks. The drinks took forever to come out, and the first attempt at the steak was chewy and lacked flavor. It was honestly a $50 steak. The server was so kind as to offer a remake, but the meat came out the same way. Slow service and low-quality food, but I guess the premium charge came from being close to the ocean. Breakfast was also overpriced ($51 breakfast buffet that I would pay $30 for). But the friendly server made the meal tolerable. We're super excited to come back to Mission Pacific again, but next time, we'll definitely skip Piper.

Gym has a barbell

After a disastrous attempt to use my AmEx FHR credit at their sister property across the street last year, I tepidly booked this night with low expectations. The check-in process was a bit slow to start just like last year during the busy holiday season. But once I got up to the counter and was greeted by Erick, everything quickly improved. Despite the mob of visitors, Erick maintained an easy cheerful vibe and provided an overview of the property as well as where/how to use my AMEX benefits. We were upgraded to an ocean view room with a balcony. It was a fantastic view of the pier right when you walk in. We used our experience credit and breakfast benefit at the Piper restaurant across the street. The experience credit cannot be used towards valet resort fees, which were the only thing we really had to pay for. Room is modern and comfortable. Gym is spacious. Rooftop pool was closed for winter, but jacuzzi was open. Fantastic location in the heart of downtown Oside. Looking forward to more staycations here!

See all

Ask the Community - Mission Pacific Beach Resort

Yes Oceanside charges for parking, very very difficult to find parking in this area, all metered! Yes there is a bar menu, however I would not recommend this Roof top Bar for… 

Are they Pet friendly?

I really loved the way they received you when you get there. They give you apple cider in little cute glasses. Making you feel very special. Then when you leave they don't even care. On another places at least they ask you how was your stay. Here they just ignored you. They gave us 2 aluminum water bottles with their name on them. They were pretty but a little bent. The beds smelled clean and the mattresses felt comfortable. You could not jump in them but they were comfy. The bathroom and the shower were very clean and ample. We had have very hard time with the coffee machine. It was not very easy to use. They had couple of coffee pods and they were good. When we finally learn how to used it. We asked for a room with a view and our view was from the side not in front of the beach. It was still a good view just not how we imagined. The hotel it's very close to the beach. We went to the pool and it's at roof top one. It had a nice view to the ocean. We took a very nice sunset picture from there. They had the big pool and some jacuzzis. There was some guest there. It was nice it was not over crowded. At night we were going around to the next door hotel that happened to partners. They had a big bar and music. It was very nice and plenty of people having a good time. Sadly we couldn't stay because we had minors with us. I would comeback and stay here again. It was a pleasant stay. I just felt ignored when we left. Forgot to mention we found an empty used drink can in the fridge and used note pad. Details that make a difference. It makes you think they ate it very thorough when cleaning.

My husband had just finished working six consecutive shifts at the fire department, and we were simply looking forward to a nice evening together. As we entered the parking lot, two men in a golf cart crossed in front of our vehicle. My husband honked, and there was later a brief verbal exchange about what had happened. There were no threats or physical confrontation from us, and we believed the matter was over. Later, while we were still seated at our dinner table, a woman we had never met approached us and began questioning us about the parking-lot interaction. She told us that she and her husband were club members, repeatedly referenced their membership, said she had never seen us there before, and told us she "didn't want any problems in the future." I cannot speak to what she intended, but the encounter made both of us feel intimidated, unwelcome, and extremely uncomfortable. We later learned that an Aviara Country Club member event was being held at the restaurant that evening. After dinner, we discovered that our vehicle had been extensively damaged while parked on the property. Carlsbad Police investigated, and surveillance footage from the property documented what occurred. An individual associated with the earlier parking-lot encounter became the alleged suspect during the investigation. Our vehicle ultimately sustained nearly $15,000 in repair costs. I am intentionally not identifying anyone or making any statement about guilt. I am simply describing what my husband and I experienced that evening. What has disappointed us most is Park Hyatt Aviara's response afterward. I personally contacted hotel management and was told that Hyatt was cooperating with police, which we appreciated. We were also told that someone from Aviara Golf Club management would contact us to discuss what happened. That call never came. I understand that a hotel cannot control the actions of every person on its property, and I am not assigning legal responsibility to Hyatt. My concern is how we were treated as guests after such a serious and disturbing experience. We experienced an uncomfortable confrontation during dinner, left to discover nearly $15,000 in damage to our vehicle, and had to involve law enforcement. Yet we never felt the level of concern, communication, or follow-through we expected from a five-star property. That is what has been most disappointing. We chose Park Hyatt Aviara because we expected exceptional hospitality and guest care consistent with the Park Hyatt name. Instead, we left feeling uncomfortable, unsupported, and profoundly disappointed. I sincerely hope Park Hyatt Aviara considers how guests are cared for when something goes seriously wrong during their visit.

The pool also was heated and so lovely to jump in after a day in the ocean. They had live music around the pool Saturday night! It was walking distance from so many stores and restaurants. We picked up pizza and enjoyed dinner on our balcony, while watching the sunset. It was truly a magical beach getaway!

Overall, we had a nice stay, but there were definitely some areas that need improvement…read more The positives first: check-in was quick and easy, the room was spacious, and I really appreciated that there was no carpet. We appreciated the complementary breakfast. The towels and bedding were clean, and the hotel staff kept providing fresh, clean towels throughout the day, which was a nice touch. The beach attendants were friendly, the hotel provides sand toys for kids, and we really enjoyed the live music in the evenings. The location is excellent and made it easy to enjoy the beach. Unfortunately, the cleanliness of our room upon arrival was disappointing. The toilet seat had what appeared to be blood or feces on it, there was urine around the base of the toilet, which made it seem like the bathroom floor hadn't even been mopped, and there were crumbs and bits of food, along with a few dead bugs, around the beds. Thankfully, I had hand sanitizer with me and cleaned the bathroom before my children used it. A few other things to note: the balcony door was difficult to open, there was no screen door, and the complimentary beach chairs are quite small and may not be comfortable for larger adults. The sheets also seemed too small for the mattresses and kept coming off the corners during the night, which made sleeping less comfortable, no mattress covers. The beach itself is beautiful but fairly small, so it becomes crowded quickly. One suggestion for future guests: please rinse the sand off before you are getting into the pool, I witnessed people rinsing off im the pool after beach then after 2-3 minutes they came out and went upstairs. The pool is not a shower and the sand on the bottom of the pool hurt. Also, once you're finished using the beach loungers, remove your towels instead of leaving them behind. It was difficult to tell which chairs were actually occupied and which were available because many loungers had towels left on them. Overall, this hotel has a fantastic location and several nice amenities, but better attention to room cleanliness and a few small improvements would make a big difference. * also bring water shoes, the rocks at the beach are very painful*

My first room was adorable. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and I love the unique layout of the rooms. I also enjoyed the pool, complimentary member drinks, and the overall property. That first evening I called for a wine opener and was told someone would bring one up, but nobody ever came. I eventually went downstairs to get one myself. Not a huge deal, but unfortunately it became the first of several instances where I was told someone would follow up and nobody did. The next day was great. I enjoyed the pool and a fitness class and had an amazing bartender. I was having such a good time that I decided to extend my stay another night. That's when everything went downhill. My new room was EXTREMELY hot. Maintenance came up and said it was 78 degrees and that there appeared to be an HVAC issue. After waiting around 40 minutes I ended up sitting in my car because the room was so uncomfortable. The front desk moved me to another room and told me a manager would call regarding compensation. Nobody called. Later that evening I returned to find the replacement room incredibly hot as well. It honestly felt cooler outside. I was told they would send somebody right up to get me moved again. Thirty minutes later, still no one. At this point it was around 10:30 PM, I had already switched rooms once, and I wasn't willing to pack everything up and move into a THIRD room with no guarantee the AC would work that late at night. I decided to check out and find another hotel. Unfortunately, the evening manager made the situation even worse. Instead of being understanding, he was rude and dismissive and pointed out that I had previously agreed to switch rooms. Yes, I agreed before waiting over 30 minutes with no one having shown up. I was told they would check me out and a manager would contact me regarding a refund. Nobody did. I called the next day and was again told someone would call me back. Nobody did. I finally called again the following day and reached someone who resolved the situation. Initially, I was only offered a waived resort fee, which I found unreasonable considering I paid nearly $500 for a room without functioning AC, moved rooms once, and ultimately had to leave late at night and pay for another hotel. After several calls the issue was finally resolved, which I appreciated, but it should not have taken that much effort. It's frustrating because there is so much I genuinely love about Omni La Costa. The property is beautiful, the beds are comfortable, the adults only pool is fantastic, and they offer tons of activities and fitness classes. I've stayed here multiple times because I enjoy the resort. Unfortunately, the customer service during this stay was seriously lacking. Between the HVAC issues, lack of follow through, repeated promises of callbacks that never happened, and the attitude of the evening manager, the experience left a really bad taste in my mouth. I still think it's a beautiful resort, and most of my previous stays have been wonderful, but this particular stay was extremely disappointing.

Cape Rey Carlsbad Beach, a Hilton property, delivered a good experience for my recent 4-night stay…read more To be clear, this is a very casual, low-rise hotel, sitting directly across the street from the ocean. As a result, the weather is milder than inland and the vibe feels comfortable and beach-y, not stuffy. Night one I slept in a room with partially frosted windows to block the site of the rooftop housing a plethora of air conditioning units. Unfortunately, even if I couldn't see them, I heard them all night and in the morning was able to move to a different room for the duration of my stay. (Had a different room not been available this review would look a lot different). The hotel has a nice (not fancy) pool and jacuzzi with ample chaise lounges and a bit less ample umbrellas. Pool toys are available for use making the place kid-friendly. Food and drinks can be ordered poolside but there's also an on-site restaurant, Chandler's which I didn't much care for. Guests here can use bicycles free of charge and also make use of a free shuttle that takes you to and from a nearby beach (South Ponto) where chaise lounges and towels are set up and ready for your use. South Ponto Beach isn't Carlsbad's nicest beach, but it's a nice touch, being able to enjoy it from a chaise lounge on a small bluff. Valet parking is available or you can self-park for $40/day (reduced somewhat if you're a Hilton Honors member). This might be my biggest complaint of all; the nonsense of having to pay any parking fee for a hotel outside the center of a city irks me to no end and even at a discount rate, this one did. Cape Rey Carlsbad Beach was a convenient location for driving to central Carlsbad, Encinitas, and even the San Diego Zoo. It wasn't fancy but it was clean and comfortable. I'd have no problem staying here again but only if I could again secure a room away from the rooftop ACs.

Parking: Valet only $60 overnight Concierge and receptionist table is very simple and 1 person helping only, she is Super duper sweet and helpful. She checked us in, and since we booked via Amex, we received complimentary: - Suite upgrades - early check in - guarantee 4pm check out - daily breakfast for 2 - In room wifi - and $150 resort credit apply for restaurant, spa etc. This place has a e-bike, paddle board an surf board for guests to use anytime complimentary. If you happened to stay in 2nd floor, which they only have 3 floors, where Vaga restaurant is, to find your room is kinda tricky. Look at the signage and the room are through the double door, on your left when you face the restaurant. It requires your keycard access to enter through the double door. The room is so relaxing,the vibe is comforting. It has complimentary coffee, nespresso tea and bottle water. You can ask for more water at concierge. Look at the real life I believe eucalyptus stem on top of the shower head, love it. There's also a gym and spa in 1st floor, also access to beach. We asked for recommended restaurant around the area, she gave a 4 pages list of restaurant and little shops 2nd floor - has venue area with spacious gathering area and balcony overlooking the beach. Evening: you can enjoy cocktails on VAGA restaurant overlooking the beach with outdoor fireplace and patio. Fyi: the room has thin walls. We can hear ppl talking, walking, running on hall way every moment. So on our final bill: They comp all our daily breakfast including tips and room service delivery. They automatically deduct $150 resort credit regardless you spend under. It will apply to any other fees. Like it because they don't Knicks pick every single expenses, that shows their reputation and their hotel guests matter over little charges. Overall, love this place. Will definitely come back. Highly recommended.
