Hilton Grand Vacations Club MarBrisa Carlsbad

This was honestly one of the worst hotel experiences we have ever had. We completed pre-check-in and were assigned a first-floor room. Upon arrival, we were told it was not ready. Later we received a text saying our room was ready, so we drove back — only to be assigned a completely different room in another building on the second floor. I am a disabled veteran and retired Fire Captain, and my wife has an injured knee. We specifically needed a first-floor room for accessibility reasons. On the second day, when I contacted guest services to ask why we were moved, we were told the reason was that the elevator in the building of our original first-floor room was broken — yet we had been initially assigned a first-floor room in that same building. Ironically, the elevator in the building we

It's a great resort. We've been going there for years and have even bought one of our timeshares there. It's a great location in North County and right next to Legoland. We used to bring the kids there when they were younger, but not so much anymore. We enjoy the quiet, the pools are fantastic. It's like a home away from home. All condos, from studios all the way up to a 3 bedroom.

This was our first time at Mar Brisa. We stayed in a 2 bedroom lock-off unit. It was a nice room with plenty of space for the 4 of us. We also liked that there was a private entrance to Legoland. This was convenient for us because we can just leave the property and walk the trail and head into Legoland.

We stayed in a two-bedroom, two-bathroom suite—perfect for a family and very comfortable. The Cove rooms are a fantastic perk, providing a private entrance to Legoland, which makes coming and going easy and even lets you experience some rides from the back while others enter from the front. A great choice if you’re visiting Legoland! The only downside is breakfast: it’s only available at the pool bar during busy times, or you have to go to the neighboring hotel.

We stayed at Hilton MarBrisa Carlsbad for two nights (Oct 24–26) and had a really great time. We’re Hilton Diamond members, and Kyle at the front desk made check-in so easy and welcoming — honestly, his hospitality stood out and made a big difference since we got there late. Our room (5123B) was clean and super comfortable for the four of us. Loved the complimentary water, internet, and the shuttle service — really convenient. We also had dinner at 20/Twenty Restaurant, used our two drink vouchers, stacked the 15% discount with the dinner-for-four special, and even watched the Dodgers game while we ate — fun night! Dmitri helped us check out smoothly, and overall it was a fantastic stay. Definitely planning to come back next year.
