It was so nice! Definitely get a room with a balcony with a view of the lake! It looked so beautiful. Loved walking around the lake and hearing the swans honking in the morning. Great if you bring your dog too. Just be careful with little dogs because there is a coyote hanging out in this vicinity and it will hide out in the shrubbery and snatch your dog up while you're walking (someone warned my friend). We saw it by the lake one of the days. The pedal boat was very fun! It costs extra but was worth it. A couple of the other options are free with your stay, but we didn't try them. The lake was so peaceful! The little coffee shop was also nice. They also have coffee makers in the rooms. This place is a hidden gem. Took stars off for the room downstairs with no balcony. It had no window you can open and smelled very stale and bad. Get a balcony room if you want fresh air. lol My phone internet using data was also really slow here for some reason, but they did have great WiFi you can use during your stay.Rooms: Get the balcony room for much-needed fresh air and a beautiful view of the lake.Also some random details - the bathrooms have no fans and the bathroom door is a sliding door that doesn't close fully (leaves a tiny space), the room lighting is pretty dim, and no microwaves although there is a fridge. The showers are large and nice and the beds are comfy.Food & drinks: They have a little coffee shop with fresh-made coffee and tea and some snacks, clothing, sunscreen, and reusable water bottles.Noteworthy details: All the employees I encountered were really nice.

Noteworthy details: Phenomenal value, just a super nice place overall for significantly less than other nearby hotels with awesome amenities like free EV charging, free s'mores, and more

Stayed here after the renovation of this place, it was nicely renovated. A few complaints, they did not clean our room at all during our stay even after we called them multiple times to do so and restock items and when someone came to bring us the items, they brought ONE of each item when there were two people staying there on the reservation. Also, the rooms have zero sound reduction, we could hear the baby next to us crying all night and our other shared wall you could hear every conversation like they were in our own room so definitely bring earplugs. They were not attentive at all during our stay. There is only one pool and there was a large party staying there so you couldn’t even go in the pool or jacuzzi because it was like Vegas. The food at the restaurant was great and the lake view was beautiful at night. Overall, it was not what we expected, hopefully they cater to their guests needs better in the future.

The room is boat house style and clean. Don't let their picture of the carpet think badly. lol, it's new, clean, and it's just an odd style. We took advantage of the free 1 hour kayaking. I wish it had been two singles, not a double, but it was fun. Check-in is at 4 pm, and the boat rental closes at 5 pm. Check out is 11 am, and the boat rental opens at 10 am. So get there by 3:30 pm or you will not get to go in pm.Rooms: Very clean and nice.Nearby activities: Lake, resturants, golf, swimming pool, tennis, workout room, walking.Safety: Lots of nice people.Walkability: Worth every step.Food & drinks: This is a very laid-back area. Do not expect fast service. Hardly anyone there at 5:30 pm we sat for over 15 min. Without service. The food was ok for the $$$. The bill came, and there was a $3.00 extra charge, so we asked why. They said the Mia Tai needed juice, so that was why they charged extra. It was served in a cute highball size glass all of 4 oz due to ice. The taste was great but not worth $15 lol and $3 for normal ingredients. We got a good laugh. I would highly recommend ordering a beer at this bar downstairs.Noteworthy details: What a view!!!

Great place for a weekend getaway from Orange County. Had a room viewing the lake. Whether your idea of serenity is sitting on the balcony sittimg wine with cheese, or kayaking, paddle boarding, boating, golfing, tennis, pickleball, or biking. This resort is good for couples as well as families and this place has is all. I'm looking forward to my next visit.

When I was about to book, I was hesitant as I saw all the positive reviews about the resort. I suspected all of them were fake reviews, but I finally booked a regular room. The next day, I called in to upgrade my room, and they said "sure and it would be a complimentary upgrade". When I went there, it was super friendly and clean, and there were lots of things to do other than there was a family from free bike, one hour every day for kayaking, free s'mors kit. It is family and pet-friendly. I love it and recommend

Family getaway for a night with our 4 year old for NYE. Affordable and comfy beds! Was worried about noise, from other reviews.. but we didn’t have an issue. Free welcome drink and s’mores kit (with multiple fire pits) were a hit. Also, free paddle boat and bucket of balls at the golf course were added bonuses. The Italian restaurant had great food and atmosphere, and the Grill down the street had delicious food (breakfast and dinner)! We would definitely come back for an affordable and easy getaway.

Used to love this place. I had a $100 gift certificate I requested be used for my stay- 2 days prior to my stay- I was deducted the full amount for my night coming up. Upon arriving i informed them that I was guaranteed the $100 would be deducted from my room and required a refund. I have been given the run around and lied to about the refund processing to then their system not allowing the refund- to we will mail you out a check..I stayed 12/22 and it is 1/14. Still NO REFUND! And the room we were given to stay in was outdated! Bathroom door broken- cheap furniture- hallway carpet dirty.. so disappointing because it was a favorite - never again

A hidden gem! We had been struggling with out teenage son the last couple years. This staycation was exactly what we needed to reconnect and bond. We rode bikes, sat next to a bonfire, played family games. Felt like time had stopped. The rooms are nicely upgraded. The whole resort is meant for core memories and connection.

Spacious rooms and very clean ! The pools are great and big enough for many people. They have kayaks and paddle boats to rent and lots of food options nearby.

We went for the Winter Wonderland event that’s held on the lawn to the right of Amalfi. It was a mixture of Hotel Del Coronado and Fairmont Grand Del Mar except it wasn’t free. It cost $5, you get a wrist band and you can re-enter same day.It’s only on the weekends and certain days of the month. Your ticket includes the candy cane cruise on the lake to see the lights of the lake front properties. There were 3 Candy cane cruises that took 15 minutes each. We took it twice, once before sun set and when it was dark.Everything else cost money like the kiddie train ride. There were 4 vendors selling food and alcohol. Lots of fire pit seating and you can roast s’mores. You can also rent the igloos.Overall, it gives you something to do and to go once. I would not spend more than $5 to go when you can get the same experience at Coronado or The Grand for free. It was also 40 mins in traffic from Poway each way. However, the lake ride was an added bonus. I wish that the hotel itself was decked out for more photo opportunities.We parallel parked on the street directly in front of the entrance. The closest lot was valet at Amalfi. Then further out at the resort entrance.

We live locally and stayed here while our home was being repaired. Avoid at all costs, the rooms are cheaply remodeled, walls are paper thin and you hear everything from other rooms. Staff is also pretentious and rude. Be sure to check other reviews where people describe staff entering their room without knocking and dirty rooms. Not worth anywhere near their room rates. You can have a much better experience at Omni La Costa nearby.
