“What a beautiful property.”
From the reviews
Had an amazing experience. What a beautiful property. We appreciated the careful staff and maintenance of the spa and pool. Everything was absolutely gorgeous, especially the views. What a beautiful place to stay.
Was a last minute quick one night trip. Rooms are a bit worn. Floor lamp and the other bed lamp didn’t work. The toilet paper holder was also broken, as it kept coming loose and then the toilet paper would fall to the floor.
Wonderful hotel. Yes, rooms a bit dated but large comfortable and quiet. Restaurant is not a fancy place but nice fire tables. Staff all very friendly. Here is the “big deal” about this hotel.
My family and I just had a wonderful stay here at the Westin. The customer service and the area are second to none. My family and I had such a great time here that we actually added on another night stay just because it was so relaxing and fun for the whole family.
Getting married at The Westin Carlsbad Resort & Spa
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
