“I like that this beachfront resort in Carlsbad seems focused on family-friendly leisure, although some past guests have commented on extra fees and charges. With its ocean view rooms, on-site dining, and proximity to local attractions like Legoland, it still strikes me as a solid base for exploring the area's recreational options.”
