Just got back from a two night stay at the Tamarack resort. It was a spur of the moment trip and I had never even seen this hotel. I was very pleasantly surprised by the location and the hotel. The rooms were quite spacious. We had an ocean view room. As another reviewer mentioned, the ocean is across a very... more

We stayed 2 nights at the Tamarack on a weekend. The location directly across from the beach is excellent. The grounds of the Tamarack are beautiful and kept very clean. The room was also very clean and had been recently redecorated--so recently that it still smelled of fresh paint! We appreciated having a mini-fridge for drinks and snacks. The bed... more

We were scheduled for a three night stay but left after one very noisy night. We stayed in room 123. All went well until about 1:30 A.M. We were awaken by people in room 122 who were talking and laughing very loud. Our sliding glass door to the balcony was left open to let the air in while we slept.... more

The Tamarack Beach Resort has a very nice atmosphere and a cozy feel. It has a great view of the beach, which is only across the street. The rooms are very pleasant, with a homey feel to them. Also has a great pool, spas, BBQs, rec room, and gym. It is also in a great location, close to good restaurants... more

We stayed at the Tamarack for four nights in July. On the plus side, the staff was friendly and they do offer nice touches such as free morning papers, pool toys, and planned activities. The outdoor public areas and pool are attractive and very clean. A nice courtyard with patio furniture and grills is available for guest use. The location... more

Just came home from a kid's weekend in Carlsbad to see LegoLand and the beach. We joined another family and chose the Tamarack hoping for a good quality hotel, a step above a Red Roof Inn, as we new we would be spending a lot of time at the hotel with 5 children. On the plus side for the hotel/time... more

I was able to book an online reservation for this resort which is predominantly time share for only $159/night. The first floor rooms are for nighly rental. The room has 2 queen beds and they have first floor units on the side of the property that are less noisy. They assured me the breakfast was complimentary. This is a 5... more

My husband used to stay here as a kid so we thought it would be great to revisit this resort. The building is beautiful, and the location is wonderful, right across from a great beach. We also liked the fact that we could walk to several excellent restaurants. BUT, we were assigned to room 109, and we quickly found that... more

My wife, 10 year old son, and I spent two nights here in August. Nice, pleasant staff. Clean room, good amenities. What made this such a great place is the recreation room with pool tables and ping ping, and the free boogie boards we could use at the beach just across the street. Would highly recommend this place for families. more
