It's simply wonderful, as the title says 'coastal hideaway' is accurate. After a long haul flight from Australia, feeling tired and arriving earlier than anticipated, I was warmly welcomed. This really is a great place to relax, and the community surrounds everything you need. Thank you so much for welcoming me to Carlsbad.

LEGOLAND Castle Hotel in California is an enchanting getaway that truly delivers on every front. From the moment you step into the whimsical lobby, you’re greeted with a magical atmosphere that sets the tone for your stay. The themed rooms are nothing short of spectacular, with creative LEGO designs and ample space that make them perfect for families. The highlight of our stay was the delightful pool area. The staff were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to ensure our experience was seamless. Dining options were also impressive, with a variety of tasty meals that catered to all ages. Overall, I highly recommend LEGOLAND Castle Hotel for anyone looking for a memorable family vacation. Whether you're a LEGO enthusiast or just after a unique hotel experience, this place is sure to impress!
