The Seabird Resort

Very enjoyed out visit. We live in Carlsbad and do periodic visits to local lodging locations. Always a pleasure using Hyatt.

I had an amazing three-day stay at The Seabird Ocean Resort & Spa. From the moment I arrived, every interaction with the team was warm, welcoming, and professional. The front desk, dining team, and guest experience staff all made me feel so well taken care of throughout my stay. The property itself is beautiful, relaxing, and in such a perfect location. The rooms, dining, and overall atmosphere made the entire experience feel special and memorable. I’m so grateful for the hospitality and would absolutely recommend The Seabird to anyone looking for a wonderful stay in Oceanside.

Fantastic stay. Hotel was nice and has a great view and in a great location to walk around and see the shops and restaurants. One of the easiest hotels to work with for the status perks included in my bookings. Most of the time you have to follow up on at least one item. They were on top of all of it.

An exceptional trip! Pool, location, staff - all fantastic. Absolutely returning! Especially loved that the pool had no deep end - made it much more relaxing!

We stayed at The Seabird while on vacation with friends and family, and unfortunately our experience fell well short of expectations. The biggest disappointment was our room. We specifically paid extra for an ocean view room, but when we arrived we were assigned a room that primarily overlooked a large wooden wall surrounding the pool, with little to no meaningful ocean view. What was most frustrating was that no one at the front desk informed us of this change during check-in. We only learned about it after entering the room and had to call the front desk ourselves. We were told the hotel had overbooked its ocean view rooms and were offered a $100 resort credit as compensation. Considering we paid significantly more for an ocean view room than the value of the credit offered, this did not feel like an appropriate resolution. Another disappointment was that the main bar was closed for a private wedding event, leaving our group with nowhere to relax and enjoy a drink together at the end of the evening. Guests paying premium resort rates should have access to basic amenities, even when private events are being hosted. Service at the pool was also extremely slow. We had reserved both a cabana and two daybeds, so we expected attentive service, but long waits for food and drinks were the norm throughout the day. Finally, our experience at Piper was equally frustrating. We were told there would be a 30-minute wait to be seated, even though the restaurant appeared to be only about 25% occupied. It was difficult to understand why there was such a delay with so many empty tables visible. The Seabird is a beautiful property in a fantastic location, but the lack of communication, poor service, and failure to deliver the room category we paid for made this a very disappointing stay. I hope management improves both guest communication and service standards, because the hotel has the potential to provide a much better experience.
