Omni La Costa Resort and Spa in Carlsbad, California

    It might have been the huge tub in our room. Because I am a fan of the huge tub, pretty much anytime. Or the fact that when we had a slight problem with noise in our first room, the staff cheerfully moved us to another room that was equally nice. I always appreciate … Continue reading »
