Omni La Costa Resort
/
When looking to plan a quick family getaway, what do you look for in a destination? Drivability? Kid-friendly? Things to do in and around the hotel? All of these factors came into play when planning my family’s recent staycation. One of our favorite places to visit is the Omni La Costa Resort in Carlsbad, CA. We love this resort so much; we have been going annually and inviting our friends to join us each year. This summer we hope to return for a third time (pending on COVID restrictions), which officially makes it a family tradition in our books.
The property is really family friendly; each kid even receives a goody bag at the front desk during check in. Each afternoon, they host a s’mores making activity station by the fire pits and there is plenty of water play during the day for our rascals.
There are over 30 fountains on the property and we had a scavenger hunt to search for each one. AJ loves maps and “helping” us find our way around the resort. Ben just likes throwing pennies in each fountain and wishing for a pet.
Carlsbad is a small seaside town in San Diego County that is within a short drive to the Omni La Costa Resort. There are numerous fun activities in the local area for the entire family.
Interested in a trip to a baseball game? Sure thing! Petco Park (home of the San Diego Padres) is a easy drive. It’s easy to explore downtown San Diego before the first pitch. We purchased tickets to the park area of the ballpark; this allowed the kids to run around and play in the sandbox during the entire game. Very kid friendly!
This was the reaction of my boys when I told them our staycation was ending and it was time to go home…until next summer, that is!
Whether you like playing on the beach, relaxing at the spa, golfing, swimming, or making s’mores, the Omni has something for everyone. We have visited this hotel with different groups of friends who like to do different activities, and it’s always a good time for each family.
Please note: some activities and locations may have certain restrictions or closures due to Covid guidelines.
