Perfect for your Great American Summer Vacation

As I drove away from the Omni La Costa early in the morning to head to the airport to fly home my Lyft driver commented on how quiet it was here. I hadn't really thought about it about but quiet is a great way to describe La Costa. It's minutes away from the hustle and bustle of tons of family fun in Carlsbad (think Legoland and the Flower Fields) and not far from a flourish of activity in San Diego. Yet, nestled away in Carlsbad, the  Omni La Costa Resort & Spa is the perfect resort to get away from it all but still be close to it all. 

As a mom, regardless of whether my kiddos are with me or not when I travel (they were not this time,) I immediately look around to see how kid-friendly a resort is. Omni has this nailed. I arrived a little later in the day to find a firepit in the main Plaza area with kids and families gathered around making s'mores with some of the staff members. This summer Omni is all about the Great American Family Vacation with activities like this, and many more, planned all summer long. This is where the best memories are made. Gathered around a firepit. Making s'mores without mom and dad stressed about the mess.  




With or without kids (because you can always drop them off at Kidtopia for a morning, afternoon or an entire day), you must take some time for YOU and enjoy the Spa or The Chopra Center (or both.) The Omni La Costa is an amazing destination for all things health and wellness. In addition to the spa where peace and serenity flow all around you, the Omni La Costa holds The Chopra Center, founded by Deepak Chopra, M.D., as a destination for meditation, healing, and empowerment. I didn't use any of the services offered there but I did enjoy the Chopra Center Marketplace. An adorable store where I swear I felt my stress melt away from just walking in the door.  In fact, I loved it so much I made a few small purchases so now I have something from The Chopra Center with me all the time as a constant reminder that peace and serenity are possible!





Omni La Costa is really about making sure everyone, no matter the age is taken care of and has something to enjoy on the property. As I was waiting by the valet stand one evening I noticed they had space heaters to warm things up a bit. First, San Diego is truly the perfect climate all year round and second, 55 degrees in the evening is not cold by this East Coaster's standards. Yet I was told that some guests get pretty chilly in the evenings and they want everyone comfortable. Hence the space heaters. And proof that Omni La Costa wants their guests comfortable and happy, and coming back again and again. 

Will I be back to Omni La Costa? I really hope so because there is a little something for everyone and a ton of fun for the whole family. Pretty much sums up what we want out of every vacation or getaway, doesn't it? Put Omni La Costa (in fact all Omni Hotels & Resorts) on your radar as you plan your Great American Family Vacation.
