Fifteen miles north of San Diego, in picturesque Carlsbad, California, La Costa Resort and Spa takes full advantage of its location in sunny, warm Southern California. Spread across 400 acres of colorful gardens and rolling golf courses, the resort brings to mind a quaint hillside village.

Originally built in 1965, the La Costa Resort underwent a recent multi-million dollar renovation that restored the lobby and remodeled all the guest rooms. New facilities were also added, including a full-service spa, clubhouse with a state-of-the-art fitness center, two new restaurants, and a ballroom.

During my visit, the resort was enjoying the typical weather the region is famous for: sunny and breezy, with highs in the upper 60s. The flowers were blooming in a burst of color that seemed to celebrate the eternal springtime they were enjoying.
