Just a block or so from the Carlsbad Village area, the Tamarack provided my wife and me a nice beach getaway from the 100-degree temps in our part of town. We didn't hit the pool--loads of other families did though--but the Pacific Ocean is just across the street. Our room had an ocean view, and the balcony made for a pleasant few minutes of relaxation (we don't relax much). Because of the beach location, parking can be problematic in this area, but the Tamarack has below-ground parking for guests. Everyone was pleasant and helpful, and the room was very clean and well-kept. A gold-plated five-star millionaire's resort? Maybe not... but it was the perfect, cozy getaway location for us.

Considering we booked the day before, we got a spectacular deal. The hotel is right across the PCH from a beach access ramp and surf shop that offers lessons and beach umbrella and chair rentals for a really reasonable rate. We had an ocean view on the first floor, which was perfect for watching the sunset. Afterward, however, the PCH and the acoustics of the building kept it pretty noisy. I tried earplugs for the first time, and that did the trick. The complementary breakfast was delicious and filling.

This was a wonderful place to stay for an overnight in Carlsbad. Very close to everything we wanted to do, so we could just walk everywhere. We had an ocean-view condo on the 3rd floor and the view was amazing. The front desk staff was very nice and very accommodating when we called to get a late check-out. The condos we large,very clean, had a huge bathroom and a nice kitchen with lots of storage space. Wish the bedroom would have been on the side close to the ocean, but it's right where the entrance is off the pool. We were hoping to be able to fall asleep to the waves. The only thing we didn't care for was the noise that comes from the cars and cafe bikes that seem to race up and down the main road between the hotel and the ocean. During the day it was impossible to feel relaxed out on the patio, or even have a conversation while sitting enjoying the view. We realize this is not the hotels fault at all, just the location and motorists not obeying speed limits. If you are looking for something super close to the beach and don't need the view, the rooms on the other side of the pool that don't face the ocean are much quieter.

We stayed Saturday night at your hotel and although your staff was very friendly we were very disappointed with our room. Being interior next to the elevator and pool it was very loud late into the night. Also I mentioned upon check out this morning the fact that A/C was so loud it kept me up most of the night. We did not have a paper this morning even though I saw most rooms did. Finally I feel it should be known when making reservations that the true ocean front rooms belong to time share holders and in prime season you never have a chance of getting one. For the price we paid for the room I expected quite a bit more.

We had a condo which had everything you may need. Very clean, very nice housekeeping staff, front desk people are nice, gal in the rec room friendly, perfect location (beach across the street with a lifeguard right there) -- you can walk everywhere- food, coffee, cute stores, beach of course. Water and coffee in the lobby is great except that the coffee is not very hot. Personally I would rather have real cream for my coffee as opposed to the powder so I provide my own which works out fine. Also they have a very large selection of movies. Would stay again as the location is fantastic.
