Park Hyatt Aviara, hotel in Cardiff-by-the-Sea

Escape to Park Hyatt Aviara on the San Diego coast of Carlsbad, a AAA Five-Diamond luxury resort just minutes away from LEGOLAND® California, Carlsbad State Beach, and San Elijo Beach.

The hotel is stunning, boasting impressive and tasteful decor. Every staff member wears a welcoming smile, and I was pleasantly surprised when the doorman remembered my name. I left a lasting impression when I quickly went out to buy a leash for my dog, showcasing their attentive service. The restaurant offers exquisite and delicious food, especially the wood-smoked grilled steak! The inclusive breakfast is rich, and the omelette is exceptionally tasty. I find it perplexing that some people describe the breakfast as average – what more could you ask for?
