“This Carlsbad resort clearly caters to families, particularly those headed to LEGOLAND; a private entrance is a huge perk. The pool area looks great for kids and adults alike, complete with a waterslide and space to unwind. Still, based on what I've gathered, service inconsistencies occasionally undermine the experience.”
