كارازباد إن بيتش ريزورت

A bit outdated and smells old, but right on the beach and in dt Carlsbad. Full calendar of activities. Free parking 👍

I love how clean and well-maintained the rooms and the entire resort are! Everything feels fresh, welcoming, and cared for in detail. The staff made the experience even better; everyone was kind, attentive, and helpful. I especially want to recognize Emma Guzman, Maria Valdez, Teresa Leduc, and Javier for going above and beyond to make my stay truly enjoyable. Their warmth and professionalism really stood out and made me feel right at home.

Stayed for the first week in May, had a very nice unit with a balcony, view of the property and ocean, as well as a good sized bedroom that closed off from the rest of the suite, which was very nice and allowed for my partner to rise early, have coffee, etc, while I slept in undisturbed. The service and staff were wonderful. The property and our room was very clean and aesthetically pleasing. My rating would be 5 star were it not for the absolutely horrible shower pressure and total lack of any breakfast offerings within the hotel. The shower head was one of those "rain" shower heads which tend to have lower water pressure, but this was ridiculous. It took FOREVER to properly rinse shampoo and then conditioner out of my medium length hair, making for a very frustrating and lengthy showering experience which I'm sure did not save any water at all, which I know is an important issue, particularly in California. Half-way through the week I just gave up and settled for giving my hair a rinsing sans shampoo. I did ask someone at the front desk if they could do anything about it. I'm not sure if they sent anyone to take a look, because we were gone for the rest of the day. But my next showering experience was no improvement. My only other disappointment was the fog which settled in for pretty much the entire week, making it impossible to see much of the ocean from our room. Nothing the hotel can do about that, of course, just our poor luck. All in all, I'm not sure I would stay here again. The showering experience was truly so frustrating that I'm not sure the hotel, grounds or location make up for it. For folks with very short or no hair, this would not be an issue. But it sure is for me. Also, I might add, I've traveled ALOT, both in this country and abroad, and I've NEVER experienced shower pressure this bad.
