From the valet to the front desk it’s all first. Class service and the restaurant is outstanding as well . You will enjoy the large resort pool and jacuzzi as well. In the evening you can grab a seat on a comfortable couch next to one of the outdoor fire features. High on our list of return places

"Great second stay"
TripAdvisor user rating 5.0 out of 5
Reviewed May 30, 2025 NEW
This was our second stay at this hotel, the last being in 2022 when I felt there were improvements to be made. I’m delighted to say this stay was a completely different experience. We were made to feel welcome from the moment we arrived, Melanie (I think I got that right) at the front desk was superb and an absolute credit to this hotel. I guess it still depends which wing your room is located in, the old Sheraton wing or the newer tower, but as we were located in the tower, I was happy as it’s very pleasant and comfortable. The hotel is very tranquil, layout immaculate with lovely outdoor sitting areas and beautiful pool. We only ate breakfast at the hotel, that was good but the menu choice could be better. That’s my only negative, it was a really good relaxing stay.

I love the Westin in Carlsbad! Great location next to Legoland and spectacular views of the great blue Pacific Ocean. Everyone who works there is always so kind and helpful (Jenifer at the front desk is amazing) and the hotel is always very clean and well taken care of. Perfect for a staycation.
