Top North Beach Hotel Reviews

The Encinitan Hotel & Suites

8/10 Good

"Room was spacious, clean with very comfortable beds. Kitchenette made meals easy. The Breakfast room gets is a little over-crowded, but the coffee was pretty good. The spa was not working while I was there. Fitness center was adequate for a good cardio/weight workout. Hotel location is great for visiting the beach. Happy that we chose this hotel for our stay."

Tamarack Beach Resort Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The property is very nicely maintained and the pool area welcoming and tropical. The views of the beach are the highlight of the property , especially from the upper terrace. The front desk was efficient but didn’t feel like he was overly eager to answer questions. Overall a pleasant stay. The proximity to the beach…amazing"

Hyatt Vacation Club at The Welk, San Diego Area

8/10 Good

"Great property overall. The main reason I did not give it a higher rating is because the walls are thin and for 3 nights we could hear the people next door to us yelling and talking very loud till 3am. You could hear the entire conversation for 3-4 hours. The other thing that I did not like was that the bar at the pool closed early. We got to the pool at 6pm and the food and drink area was closed. It was a great place as far as location. We were close to a lot of attractions and stores."

MISSION PACIFIC BEACH RESORT, part of JdV by Hyatt

10/10 Excellent

"Arrived 7/26, fell 7/27, sent to hospital w/multiple injuries. The hotel packed up my stuff, loaded it my car in their garage, brought my electronics to me at hospital and gave permission to leave my car there until someone could come to get it. This is beyond good service and hospitality, these folks are saintly!!"

Cape Rey Carlsbad Beach, a Hilton Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"The property was beautiful and the staff was great. Rooms were average. When deciding to stay there be aware of the hidden fees. You pay for parking...$40 a night. You pay for "resort fees"... $35 a night (beach chairs, towels, umbrellas, and shuttles). The beach directly in front of the hotel is loaded with huge rocks. If you want a sandy beach you have to drive further away from the resort and hope you get there early enough because you may not find parking. As nice as the hotel was, for the price, I probably would have stayed somewhere closer to a better beach."
