Carlsbad Ranch Vacations from $704

They have refreshed and updated this hotel since I last visited in late 2024 and overall, changes are good. Staff were very friendly. They are still working out some kinks-restaurant and snack bar couldn’t do room charges, but visitors can pay by credit cards. The family pool is great if you are traveling with children. I did not use the spa, but they had a good menu of choices.

Great location. Rooms were a bit warm.

Paradise Point has a beautiful property and grounds, and the main pool was a lot of fun for our family. The island-style atmosphere is unique and relaxing, and the location is convenient for visiting San Diego attractions. That said, for the price, I expected a bit more. Complimentary breakfast would have been a nice addition considering the resort fees and overall cost of the stay. The bathroom in our room felt small and could use some updating. We also found the food options on the property to be quite expensive for the quality and portions offered. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and the scenery was wonderful, but there were enough drawbacks that it didn’t quite feel like a great value for the money. We’d consider returning, but only if we found a good rate.

Things we liked: close to beach, staff was awesome, nice amenities, great location, garage felt safe, hotel was very clean. Things that could be improved: bed was very hard and uncomfortable, no microwave, breakfast needs improvement- eggs, sausage, and bacon could be higher quality.

One of my best vacations! This is definitely a must visit property again and again!
