My room was equipped with HVAC units that is built into the sealing and it was extremely loud! It comes on with a loud click and a deafening bang and then runs at a decibel level comparable to a freight train. If you value sleep, bring ear plugs! Other options are: switch it off overnight or leave the fan on Run while you’re sleeping.

The staff is exceptionally friendly and goes above and beyond to ensure a comfortable stay. The rooms are spotless, and it’s clear that the housekeeping team takes great care in maintaining cleanliness. The complimentary parking is a fantastic perk. However, I do wish the shower pressure was stronger and that the property had more modern updates.

Tamarack Beach resort is across the street from the ocean. Beautiful location. We requested an ocean view room and loved the views and watching all the people walking, biking, running, etc. However it was quite noisy.

This resort is a great hidden gem! We had a beautiful ocean view and walked right across the street to the beach. Lots of shopping and restaurants right down the street. The staff was amazing and our favorite part of the resort was the rec room. We played ping pong and pool and you can rent movies. There is a rec room attendant for most of the day to help you with anything you'd need.

Great location within easy walking distance to all Carlsbad Village has to offer. Our "partial view" room had a surprisingly great view of the ocean! We discovered the rooftop deck on our way out (bummer) so don't miss that incredible view. We'll be back to spend some time up there.

Perfect location

Just a quick overnight by the beach. Unfortunately a dense marine layer moved in just as I was arriving so the extra I paid for deck and ocean view was wasted. Great location can walk to everywhere you'd want to go in Carlsbad.
