Absolutely beautiful location with spectacular views. Conference rooms were spacious and comfortable for presenters and attendees. AV support was excellent and the personnel very attentive and kind. The catering was fantastic at all meals, cocktail parties and dinner - truly A+++. Front desk staff was always very helpful and kind.

"Excellent Location with Great Service, Though Room Quality Could Improve"
TripAdvisor user rating 5.0 out of 5
Reviewed September 12, 2025 NEW
I had a very enjoyable stay at Cape Rey Resort while attending a meeting. The room was ready ahead of schedule, and the digital key system worked flawlessly which was definitely a convenient touch. I dined at the on-site restaurant and bar multiple times, and each experience was consistently positive. The food and service were excellent, and prices were quite reasonable for the location and property. The property boasts a beautiful ocean view, even with a road separating the resort from the cliffs. The pool area is spacious and inviting, though it would benefit from additional shaded areas. The hot tub, tucked away in a more private corner of the property, was a highlight and was large enough to accommodate multiple groups without feeling crowded. The guest room and bathroom were clean and functional, though not particularly luxurious or thoughtfully appointed. One noticeable drawback was the carpeting, which appeared visibly stained and worn both in the room and throughout the hallways. It’s an area that could use attention to better reflect the overall quality of the resort. As a Hilton Honors member, I appreciated that the daily food and beverage credit was correctly applied for two guests in the room, a definite plus. However, I was disappointed not to receive any form of upgrade, especially given my five-night stay and history of repeat visits. It felt like a missed opportunity to recognize loyalty. Despite that, the resort’s prime location, solid amenities, and consistently great service make it a place I’ll gladly return to.

"Ocean view in cool Carlsbad."

The food at the restaurant was wonderful, including the pool menu! Overall the property is clean and presents itself well. The cool deck on the pool needs to be replaced as it it showing pits, holes and wear. This makes the pool area a little less enjoyable. Nice visit for us.

Wonderful time. I hated to leave. Only complaint was I did not like the olives on the happy hour menu. They were awful! Olives should not be sweet.

There is only one thing I did not like love the place we we’re leaving to go with friends and I saw the housekeeper in hall way I told what room we were in and to please clean the room and fresh towels. She said okay but they never made it to our room so we get back to our room late I had to call front desk for towels that was another half an hour before they came. That is the only thing I did not like other than that had a great time.
