La Costa Resort and Spa is internationally recognized as a premier luxury resort. The Resort boasts world-class golf on two PGA championship courses, a renowned Racquet Club featuring 21 courts with three playing surfaces, and, the award-winning La Costa Spa. In addition to all this, it is located close to San Diego Zoo, Sea World, and LegoLand and offers a wonderful children's program at Camp La Costa 365 days a year. La Costa offers guestrooms, one, two and three-bedroom suites, and five exclusive private residences. There are three restaurants on the grounds and several heated swimming pools.
The La Costa Golf School, staffed with PGA instructors, is ranked among the finest in the country. The La Costa Tennis School is among the most renowned and respected instruction locations in the country.
We did not have a chance to golf or play tennis while we were there, but we did visit the Spa. La Costa Spa offers Shiatsu, body scrubs, aromatherapy, facials, pedicures, manicures, mud wraps, massage, saunas, Swiss showers, Roman pools, nutrition counseling and more. Our reviewer says that the treatments she received at La Costa were the best she has ever experienced.
Camp La Costa offers supervised children's activities year round. The Camp is located on a quiet cul de sac on Resort grounds across from a small playground. The building has a fun recreation room, a craft room and a video viewing area. There is also foosball, ping-pong and an outdoor tether ball game. We found the staff friendly and well trained. Our reviewer's children loved the variety of activities and made very imaginative crafts with fabric painting and clay. The camp has both half and full day programs. It even offers dinner, storytelling and films on Friday and Saturday evenings so that Mom and Dad can enjoy a "parent's night out"
In addition to being a wonderful and relaxing retreat for adults, we believe that the La Costa Resort and Spa is also one of the Top Ten resorts for families.
