    Visited for my birthday. Best decision ever. I enjoyed every moment. The staff at the reception? A+. My room? A+. Definitely get the room with a view of the ocean. The photos are from the rooftop bar.

    *This review is for the rooftop restaurant* Fantastic experience from start to finish. Typically when you go to places in great locations with amazing views, the food doesn't measure up. That is not the case here. The service overall was top notch. The hostess accommodated us despite being late for our reservation and we were able to grab a cozy table by the ocean. We really enjoyed Austin, our server, as well. I always forget how incredibly fresh the food is in California until I get here. Each dish we ordered was outstanding - unique preparation and great flavors. We loved the oysters, whipped feta, artichokes, and mushrooms. The Albariño was crisp and delicious as well. Would absolutely recommend.

    Nice hotel and rooms. Very friendly, they give you wine when you check in. We ordered food at the rooftop bar and had some pretty good food. There are also places within walking distance to eat at.

    Outstanding experience! We LOVED this hotel. The property is a 5 minute walk to the beach and pier. We stayed through the AMEX Fine Hotel & Resort Program ( if you are considering the same kind of stay, please see my photo with all of the program benefits). The hotel property is gorgeous and immaculately maintained. The rooftop bar is a must see- the decor is beautiful and relaxing & offers phenomenal views of the ocean. Guests can use all of the amenities at their sister hotel 'The Seabird', which we took full advantage of. All staff were polite, helpful and welcoming. Hotel rooms are comfortable with tasteful decor. We enjoyed our balcony, which offered a great view of the Pacific Ocean.

    My favorite place to stay

    Mission Pacific does not disappoint! My third stay and it's been almost a year. Mission has stepped up their game since I was here last! Becca who checked me in was fantastic. She offered me a glass of sparkling cider but first handed me a tray of cold towel. The service here is impeccable! She saw that it was my birthday and had staff send me a note and chocolate. I got upgraded to a Sanctuary Studio Oceanfront which was ready at 11am. The room is amazing. The view is to die for. The tub with a loofah was relaxing. Jaden the beach butler is always very helpful and courteous. Note that you do have to take the umbrella and chairs down and walk it back to the shack. That can be difficult. That's something I wished they would change. Other than that, it was such a nice weekend. We had front row seats to a concert.

    Delayed review... oops!!!! Is this a 5 star all inclusive resort? No! Is it everything you want and need from a hotel??? Absolutely!!! A glass of wine at checkin? Yes please! Across the street from the beach? Yup! Plenty of variety of restaurants/bars withen walking distance? Absolutely. A beach bag and beach friendly sandals to use in your room? I was just as surprised as you. The NICEST valet guys ever? Another check. We LOVE the San Diego area (mostly Gaslamp) but decided to give Oceanside a try for our recent anniversary & boy did we fall in love!!! Booking this hotel was the first of many happy memories from our weekend. And from what I can tell a definite future vacation choice in Oceanside!!! The room layout was amazing.... The way the bathroom doors fully opened, made the room feel so big. Everything was spotless! Plenty of storage. Balcony was roomy and the chairs were so comfy! Will we be back? Yes please.

    This hotel was honestly so close to perfect. The rooms were clean, the views were gorgeous, and the staff was very kind and welcoming. But I'm extremely disappointed because my headphones were stolen out of my car while it was parked with valet. It's really sad and makes it hard to feel comfortable coming back, even though the rest of the stay was amazing.

    I used my AMEX credit to book a stay at Mission Pacific Beach, the sister hotel to Seabird. I chose this property because reviews said it was more upscale and geared toward adults, while the other hotel felt more family focused. Check-in was great. The staff were warm, helpful, and even upgraded our room as part of the AMEX perk when available, which I appreciated. Now for the room. The view of the ocean and boardwalk was beautiful, but the room itself felt very average. The mattress was uncomfortable, and there's no bathtub, just a shower. Even the robes felt cheap and thin. For a four-star hotel, referred to as a Fine Resorts hotel, I expected more. As far as amenities, I didn't check out the fitness center, but an employee mentioned the sister property has the better gym. You can use amenities at both locations, but there aren't many dining options here. The rooftop bar is cute with a relaxed vibe, and I've been to Valle for my birthday before, which was fantastic. But for the AMEX-included breakfast, you have to go to the sister resort, which isn't really the atmosphere I want when I book a staycation. I do have to say the blackout curtains were great. They worked perfectly. Checkout was where things went downhill. Around 10 a.m., housekeeping knocked. I put up the Do Not Disturb sign and let them know we had a 4 p.m. checkout. Not long after, someone else knocked. I told them the same thing. Then a third knock. At that point, it was frustrating. The team really needs to pay closer attention to the DND sign and the fact that AMEX guests have confirmed late checkout. When I went downstairs to check out, they said they'd email my receipt, but it never arrived. Overall, the hotel is just okay. The Michelin-star restaurant is the standout, but outside of that, there aren't many food options, not a lot of amenities, and the energy is extremely quiet. If you're planning a staycation, I wouldn't recommend it. You'll end up needing to leave the property to find anything lively or interesting.

    The entire resort was amazing! The service was top-notch from the moment we parked to the moment we left. From Valet to bar security to checkout, we encountered a crew of world class hospitality workers. Coming from Vegas, I'd like to say that means something extra. We absolutely loved everything from the delightful scent of the hotel to the easy access to the beach. Our room was clean and well laid out. And guess what? The Top Gun house was right on the property! It was like something out of a movie! Now, I must warn you about the restaurant, Piper. We had a terrible experience there. For dinner, we ordered a $100 ribeye, medium, pasta, octopus, and a few drinks. The drinks took forever to come out, and the first attempt at the steak was chewy and lacked flavor. It was honestly a $50 steak. The server was so kind as to offer a remake, but the meat came out the same way. Slow service and low-quality food, but I guess the premium charge came from being close to the ocean. Breakfast was also overpriced ($51 breakfast buffet that I would pay $30 for). But the friendly server made the meal tolerable. We're super excited to come back to Mission Pacific again, but next time, we'll definitely skip Piper.

    After a disastrous attempt to use my AmEx FHR credit at their sister property across the street last year, I tepidly booked this night with low expectations. The check-in process was a bit slow to start just like last year during the busy holiday season. But once I got up to the counter and was greeted by Erick, everything quickly improved. Despite the mob of visitors, Erick maintained an easy cheerful vibe and provided an overview of the property as well as where/how to use my AMEX benefits. We were upgraded to an ocean view room with a balcony. It was a fantastic view of the pier right when you walk in. We used our experience credit and breakfast benefit at the Piper restaurant across the street. The experience credit cannot be used towards valet resort fees, which were the only thing we really had to pay for. Room is modern and comfortable. Gym is spacious. Rooftop pool was closed for winter, but jacuzzi was open. Fantastic location in the heart of downtown Oside. Looking forward to more staycations here!

    I want to say that I did not stay here, but I use the facilities as a guest in the neighboring seabird hotel. What's great is that they have a partnership through Hyatt and it was the availability to use their gym and the pool to explore the property and I would say the property is very nice. I went to the pool deck and it seemed like they're doing some repairs. It was a broken glass and I would say that no one was there in the morning that I was visiting during the weekday but overall the place look nice. It looked inviting though there wasn't many people working besides those fixing the glass And I would say the service from the hotel. Staff was pretty good but finding the gym or finding the full deck, took a little bit of searching, and I would say that if you are staying either in at the seabird or mission Pacific, it's worth exploring all amenities.

    What a great place for a staycation. Tip: overnight parking $55/night Pros: - Stayed in a double queen ocean view room and it was so cute. The room was large and spacious. There was a balcony where you could enjoy the view of the beach. I loved all the extra bench seating - I loved the fun and funky light fixtures in the room. I loved that most of the lights had a dimming option - Bathroom had all the needed toiletries, a bathtub, and a separate WC with a toilet with a very weak fan - Plenty of outlets and USB ports - Lobby had some space for people to work at, spilling into the little cafe, which included patio seating - There seemed to be a good handful of food options, including those at the Seabird, their sister hotel right across the street - Room service was easily arranged online and came piping hot and fresh fairly quickly - Rooftop bar had an amazing view of the beach, great breeze - Staff was all very helpful and friendly - Really worth staying if you get the American Express perks - dining/room credit, early check-in, late check out, room upgrade if available. But honestly even without the perks this room definitely was worth the price Cons: - My biggest and probably only complaint was the water pressure on both the sink and shower. The sink was basically just a little trickle of water, the shower itself barely had any pressure at all - Kinda awkward as our balcony let us view right into the rooms next to ours. We were also visible to all the guests at the Rooftop bar. We definitely kept our curtains closed for privacy - Another thing to note, this hotel is big with 2 separate buildings where each floor was connected by a bridge. It was a pretty quick walk from the elevator to our room, but if you are older, or have mobility issues you may want to ask for a room near the elevators Would I come and stay again? Yes

    Mission Pacific is on my list of Top 10 Hotels from all over. It is my top hotel to stay at the southern Cali coast. The location is superb right next to the beach (after crossing a small street) and within walking distance of many great places to eat (Like the "Allmine"Restaurant). The rooms are fantastic with comfy and classy beachy furniture. The bathrooms very nice with comfy bathrobes. The service is also fantastic. The cool thing is that you can use the pool and access the kids activities at the next door sister resort the Seabird. At night we can sit in our oceanfront balcony and hear the waves and maybe see some dolphins or whales in the morning. The gym is also a great place to work out. The rooftop bar is probably (besides an Oceanview balcony if you are in it) the best place to view the ocean/ sunset in Oceanside. If you want a superb hotel with a fantastic location and view of the ocean, this is the place for you. Cannot recommend it any higher. On a side nostalgic note, the top gun house is right in front of the hotel.

    Ask the Community - Mission Pacific Beach Resort

    Is there a fee for parking and also menu for rooftop bar?

    Yes Oceanside charges for parking, very very difficult to find parking in this area, all metered! Yes there is a bar menu, however I would not recommend this Roof top Bar for… 

    Are they Pet friendly?

    They are dog friendly, but limited to certain floors and rooms. There is non-refundable pet fee of $150. Dogs must be leashed at all times (which we assumed was when they were outside of the room!) Dogs may not exceed 50 pounds each or 75 pounds… 

    Is there a spa? How do I make spa reservations?

    I read on their website go to www.missionpacificahotel.com you can see this Mission Pacific Hotel's Prices. Yes this hotel has a Spa but they will charge you. I don't know the exact prices. You can call them or look at their prices on their website.

    Is the hotel on the beach?

    It's across the street from the beach, there's a small two lane road separating you from the beach.

The first summer was partial ocean view with a balcony and the second, third, and fourth booking we paid an upgrade for an ocean view with a balcony. After checking in this July at 11:30 am, we got into our room at 2:30 pm. We discovered that we didn't have a balcony like the other 3 visits. Instead, we had a Juliet or faux balcony. We could only step outside, not move around, nor sit. The balcony was essentially a giant window looking at their sister property Mission Pacific and the street. We had no balcony to sit and look at the ocean view we booked and PREPAID for as an upgrade 5 months prior to the stay. I called the front desk. They claimed we booked a room with a Juliet balcony and had no other availability. This is untrue, per the listing image I have included in this review. They offered us a balcony with city view or a room with a king-sized bed. We were a family of 4 traveling with 2 teenagers. They offered no other help or compensation. At Costco's suggestion, I asked about their sister property next door and I asked them to include the reduced valet and our food credits that were part of the February package we already paid for. When I checked in next door at Mission Pacific, I discovered our reservation hadn't been transferred. It had only been re-booked and we needed to pay the market rate for the next 4 nights even though we pre-paid $2300+ for Seabird back in February. I spent at least a half-hour at the front desk trying to negotiate and get a room resembling what we had paid for 5 months ago. MP's management was great and was able to accommodate our requests. After THREE HOURS of stressing and trying to solve this issue, we finally had some type of resolution. We stayed at MP from July 6-10. At about 4pm July 10, Seabird Hyatt emailed me to remind me that they arranged for our move to Mission Pacific, and provided a $300 resort credit along with discounted valet parking as a gesture of goodwill. ABSOLUTELY NOT! They made us a reservation only, and the resort credit and discounted valet parking was part of the package we paid for back in February! Absolutely NOTHING was provided as a gesture of goodwill. Furthermore, our Costco package included a rental car that we had no intention of using, but the price was cheaper. We ended up losing about $36 for the stress of booking at Seabird Hyatt, with an upgraded room with ocean view that was downgraded upon arrival. Seabird had the entire week of our stay to contact us and attempt to make things right. We are quite disappointed in the way this hotel treats their return guests. I do not recommend Seabird Hyatt in Oceanside, California at all.

The pool also was heated and so lovely to jump in after a day in the ocean. They had live music around the pool Saturday night! It was walking distance from so many stores and restaurants. We picked up pizza and enjoyed dinner on our balcony, while watching the sunset. It was truly a magical beach getaway!

    Overall, we had a nice stay, but there were definitely some areas that need improvement…read more The positives first: check-in was quick and easy, the room was spacious, and I really appreciated that there was no carpet. We appreciated the complementary breakfast. The towels and bedding were clean, and the hotel staff kept providing fresh, clean towels throughout the day, which was a nice touch. The beach attendants were friendly, the hotel provides sand toys for kids, and we really enjoyed the live music in the evenings. The location is excellent and made it easy to enjoy the beach. Unfortunately, the cleanliness of our room upon arrival was disappointing. The toilet seat had what appeared to be blood or feces on it, there was urine around the base of the toilet, which made it seem like the bathroom floor hadn't even been mopped, and there were crumbs and bits of food, along with a few dead bugs, around the beds. Thankfully, I had hand sanitizer with me and cleaned the bathroom before my children used it. A few other things to note: the balcony door was difficult to open, there was no screen door, and the complimentary beach chairs are quite small and may not be comfortable for larger adults. The sheets also seemed too small for the mattresses and kept coming off the corners during the night, which made sleeping less comfortable, no mattress covers. The beach itself is beautiful but fairly small, so it becomes crowded quickly. One suggestion for future guests: please rinse the sand off before you are getting into the pool, I witnessed people rinsing off im the pool after beach then after 2-3 minutes they came out and went upstairs. The pool is not a shower and the sand on the bottom of the pool hurt. Also, once you're finished using the beach loungers, remove your towels instead of leaving them behind. It was difficult to tell which chairs were actually occupied and which were available because many loungers had towels left on them. Overall, this hotel has a fantastic location and several nice amenities, but better attention to room cleanliness and a few small improvements would make a big difference. * also bring water shoes, the rocks at the beach are very painful*

The hotel is very kid friendly with many pools, water slides, splash pad, and fun kids activities. My toddler was always busy and doing something without complaining!!

They are very attentive, respectful, and welcoming. They truly make you feel like you're at home. Our room was located in the newly remodeled villas section, which had its own private pool and jacuzzi. It is away from the main pool area, which was much more quiet and more relaxing. They also have an adult pool in the main pool area, which had a view overlooking the breathtaking golf course. Breakfast at The Vue was pretty solid. The food at the main pool was OK, but the food at the adult pool was even better. Overall, I really recommend this resort if you have kids.

Something big for me when being at a hotel or a resort is feeling comfortable AND welcomed. We went during 4th of July where just for breakfast one morning, they had 600 guests! Although the resort was packed, never once did it feel over crowded. Every place we went, I felt like our presence was appreciated. We also never had to wait to be seated even without reservations. This place really nailed their hospitality. every detail was well thought out! So why would I recommend this for families? For many reasons. Kids are welcomed almost everywhere! They hosted events from morning to sunset during the 4th of July weekend we went. Kids eat FREE all summer for breakfast and lunch (meals before 5) at a few of their restaurants. Then I believe it's half off for dinner! Food was great everywhere we went. Our daughter was too little for most of the events and their bigger kid pools + splash pad, but we did see they have a kids slide! She did love all the places she could run around and their complimentary tote bag! And for the staff- absolutely everyone was so kind, helpful & very welcoming. Most staff members went above and beyond for us. Servers- Jenna was fantastic. Sandra as well! I believe we had an Emma too. We did stay in the Villas by the front entrance. Our rooms were excellent. Clean, spacious and comfortable. Next time, we want to go with friends and family! Lastly- I hear it's near Legoland! We went to the Safari Park and that was a 30 minute, easy drive away. Can't wait to be back. I don't golf so I can't say much about that except for the views being absolutely stunning.

Had I known I would be waiting three hours, I could have gone into Carlsbad Village or explored the area. Instead, I felt tethered to the property because all of my belongings were being held by the hotel while I waited for a room that I had been told was already ready. Then came the mystery of the soaking wet carpet. Not a damp spot here or there--the carpet was wet enough that it immediately raised questions about what had happened in the room before I arrived. Given the three-hour delay, my imagination was left to fill in the blanks, and none of the possibilities were particularly comforting. I had also specifically booked an ocean-view room rather than a pool-view room. While the room technically had a view of the ocean somewhere beyond the pool area, it was directly above the pool during a reggae festival weekend. Instead of the peaceful ocean-view experience I expected, I got a soundtrack of reggae and a front-row view of the pool scene. The location is beautiful and the staff was pleasant, but between the inaccurate room-ready notification, the three-hour wait, the soaking wet carpet, and the questionable interpretation of "ocean view," the experience didn't live up to expectations. I just checked in too! I have three more days of this... I used my Amex rewards for nothing.

Note: you do have…read moreto walk across the street and then through a public camping site to walk to the beach and beach is very rocky - rooms are outdated: e.g. lamp outlets did not work, shades near impossible to open/close - culture of the staff is to not be helpful - restaurant staff is quite dismissive and food is very mediocre even for a hotel restaurant - it does have a nice view - nice sized pool - Diamond status means nothing here: no acknowledgement at check-in, room wasn't ready before even 4p, 2 rooms booked were on different floors, no upgrades available, no free water, no late check out - kicker was the wrong name was on room in TV

    This is a nice resort with different activities to engage in: boating (kayak, SUP, electric motor…read moreboats), golfing, pool, biking, and even Taylor guitar! They have various types of room available. We have the lakefront view room which was really nice and calming to look at the lake, the mountains, and to just allow the kids to look at the boats. We didn't eat on site since we had plan for various places to eat nearby such as Buona (a fresh pasta place) which is next to Wynston's (a local ice cream with delicious local flavor such as roasted pineapple with cinnamon). This place is a good midpoint to Legoland and SD Zoo Safari Park. The only deduction to rating is due to the lacking guest services agent while checking in. The lady manning the counter was not welcoming, no smiles, and seems to just be annoyed. So much for a nice place when the guest services agent doesn't seem happy to welcome eager guests. Was not even offered welcome drink and I didn't bother to ask less getting more attitude.

    Nice getaway resort if you don't want to travel far. It has a lot of good amenities. Rooms are nice…read moreroomy and comfortable. They have a fridge and coffee maker. You get a pass to to rent paddle boards or kayak but kids can't do it so you will pay $20 to do a paddle boat. They have a fire pit and give you smore packet to make smores. The reason for the 3 stars goes toward the staff and manager Andrew. They told me over and over that they offer shuttle service to and from golfing and their restaurant which is less thank half a mile away. Walking distance. When I called for them to pick me up, the girl at the restaurant never got a hold of someone so I waited. When I went back she's like no one answered and I said well were you ever going to tell me? She calls again 3x no answer. I call with my phone some guy answers. Said that someone from the restaurant needed to call. I pass the girl the phone. I hear him tell her we are busy and can't pick anyone up. He was on speaker. She noticed he was being unprofessional and she took it out of speaker. Get back and talk to a manager Andrew to tell him the experience. He basically sweeps it under the rug and said he was the only one there and he didn't answer the call. Other reason for low rating is the wait time in the counter. Seems like There's a lot of people in the back but only one person helping. People had to wait for bikes and check in checkout. It was a bit of a cluster. Overall nice stay. The cleaners and maintenance crew were super nice and friendly. Worth the money paid for the experience and the amenities.

    Book this beautiful resort via Amex site…read more Located in Encinitas by coast hey 101. 30miles from San Diego. The hotel is sort of the middle of nowhere. The point is for relax and enjoy. Parking: Valet only $60 overnight Concierge and receptionist table is very simple and 1 person helping only, she is Super duper sweet and helpful. She checked us in, and since we booked via Amex, we received complimentary: - Suite upgrades - early check in - guarantee 4pm check out - daily breakfast for 2 - In room wifi - and $150 resort credit apply for restaurant, spa etc. This place has a e-bike, paddle board an surf board for guests to use anytime complimentary. If you happened to stay in 2nd floor, which they only have 3 floors, where Vaga restaurant is, to find your room is kinda tricky. Look at the signage and the room are through the double door, on your left when you face the restaurant. It requires your keycard access to enter through the double door. The room is so relaxing,the vibe is comforting. It has complimentary coffee, nespresso tea and bottle water. You can ask for more water at concierge. Look at the real life I believe eucalyptus stem on top of the shower head, love it. There's also a gym and spa in 1st floor, also access to beach. We asked for recommended restaurant around the area, she gave a 4 pages list of restaurant and little shops 2nd floor - has venue area with spacious gathering area and balcony overlooking the beach. Evening: you can enjoy cocktails on VAGA restaurant overlooking the beach with outdoor fireplace and patio. Fyi: the room has thin walls. We can hear ppl talking, walking, running on hall way every moment. So on our final bill: They comp all our daily breakfast including tips and room service delivery. They automatically deduct $150 resort credit regardless you spend under. It will apply to any other fees. Like it because they don't Knicks pick every single expenses, that shows their reputation and their hotel guests matter over little charges. Overall, love this place. Will definitely come back. Highly recommended.
