This was my first time to this theater. It recently went under renovations. The seats are nice and…read morethe theater is intimate. Every seat is a good one. The lobby has a bar that sells themed drinks and snacks. You can purchase drinks before the performance. They have a seating area with a smaller stage. Our performance had an intermission to also make purchases. However, the restroom line is pretty long and didn't allow me to visit the restroom and make a purchase during intermission. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. They had our programs and tickets ready. The show we saw was Hairspray. It was wonderful! I love the music, dancing, costumes and and staging. The sound is great - better than the Civic Theater downtown. It was a top rate show at a smaller venue and a lower price. You can't ask for more! Parking is available on the street for three hours. If your play is going to be longer, Carlsbad offers free parking by the train station just a short walk from the theater. We will definitely be returning.

Nice Theater, "Matt and Ben" Not So Much…read more The theater has been hugely renovated since I was last there years ago -- much improved! There's a spacious lobby with a bar, although they only had one person on the bar and it was slow going. At the box office (inside) they just asked for our name and didn't bother seeing the tix on my phone. Staff were friendly. The theater itself is small. They allow drinks in that you've purchased there. (No food, although I watched one woman open a bag of crackers). The usher sent us to the wrong row, causing confusion and the letters on the end of the rows weren't obvious. There are several bathrooms, including a couple of non-gender ones. Free parking can be found at the train station behind the theater. The play we saw, 'Matt and Ben' was not great. I give it 2/5. The cast wasn't what I was expecting and it wasn't that funny, they dropped f-bombs all the time and I was ready for it to end after about 15 minutes.

I am so glad to see that they have their own theater now so they can do more for our community. In the beginning when my girls wanted to participate in something such as this and on this level, as a father I was very worried because you hear horror stories about crazy people or creepers in this feild but over years the family that runs this program has always been professionals who want to teach and share their talents with the next generation. Over the years I have witnessed the owners go out of their way to offer a helping hand to young people trying to get a start in this business... Now that my children are grown up adults I am glad that they both the opportunities given to them by this theater group.... Thank You Star

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was disappointing from start to finish…read more Check-in was advertised for 4:00 p.m., but we didn't get our room until nearly 8:30 p.m., costing us hours of the vacation we paid for. Throughout our stay, we requested basic necessities like fresh towels and soap refills, but they never arrived despite multiple requests. On checkout day, housekeeping walked into our room at 9:00 a.m., a full hour before the 10:00 a.m. checkout, while we were still getting dressed. Our privacy was completely disregarded. I was also repeatedly singled out because of my service dog. Multiple employees yelled, "You better clean up after your dog," even though I was visibly carrying waste bags and had done nothing wrong. It was humiliating and showed a lack of training on how to appropriately interact with guests who use service animals. To make matters worse, I unexpectedly started my period and needed pads before the gift shop opened. Because the resort had no way to help and the trams were so unreliable, I had to walk all the way down the steep hill just to get basic hygiene supplies. For a resort of this size, that level of guest support is unacceptable. The most concerning part of our stay was the Russian tortoise in the kids' center. I am the founder of The Wise Frog Reptile Rescue and have spent more than 11 years rescuing and rehabilitating reptiles. The tortoise appeared to lack proper UVB and heat, and its shell was in alarming condition. I brought my concerns to staff, but they showed little interest in addressing them. My children were heartbroken because they immediately recognized the animal appeared to be in distress. An animal should never be displayed for children if its welfare is being overlooked. Between the delayed check-in, ignored requests, lack of privacy, treatment over my service dog, unreliable transportation, and concerns about animal welfare, this resort fell far short of the experience we expected. I hope management takes these issues seriously and makes meaningful changes for both guests and the animals in their care

Straight up, a FIVE-STAR venue! Online ticket purchases are a breeze. Parking is a non-issue with…read moreplenty of parking all around the theater. We have been there for bands, magic shows, seasonal shows etc. and have not been disappointed. The featured cover bands are the best! Anyway, walking into the theater is like walking into someone's home. The staff treats you like family! It is the complete OPPOSITE of all the stressful hoops you have to jump through at a large arena style event. The lobby is quite comfortable and has a lot of artifacts showing the amazing history of the resort. Will probably take a few visits to go through it all. One last thing. They made an error on their schedule which resulted in me having tickets on two different dates of the same event. Rather than send an email, they personally called me and gave me options that quickly resolved the issue! Although we've been guests at Welk's Theater for just over a year, I sure wish I had known about them sooner...

The Rep itself is an intimate theater with hardly a bad seat in the place and has an associated snack area with wine/beer and some drinks available. The seasonal fare for us is usually entertaining and enjoyable, leaning I think to lighter comedy most of the time, with the occasional drama thrown in, I guess to let us really see the actors working! But, light comedy that is usually quite fun. The most recent example is "Scapin" adapted from Moliere, which is a delightful romp with great characters, and fast pacing. Give it a try, and you'll be glad that you did, and support our local theater.....

I got my second wind, rustled up some festive attire and joined a group of friends for a night filled with outstanding food and drink from some of the best restaurants in San Diego. The effervescent crowd was dressed to the hilt in summer couture. Crowds mingled while sipping wine and beer and sampling the best that San Diego's restaurants have to offer. Urban plates colorful vegetarian salad was finished with a delightful dressing. I also really enjoyed the squash ravioli from Vigilucci's and the shrimp empanadas from BlueFire grill. Omni San Diego is a spectacular venue, it is one of the premier resorts in the nation with a panoramic and breathtaking view. As twilight settled to darkness I jumped into my pumpkin chariot and did not stay for the movie screening. I was exhausted and filled with gratitude for life's pleasures and great friends.

A four-day film festival based at the beautiful Omni La Costa Resort in Carlsbad?? Yes yes yes -…read moresign me up for that! This festival is definitely the place to be. Showing over 50 films & holding world-class galas & after parties, the La Costa Film Festival is all-around amazing. The event is perfect for everyone - whether you are a movie lover, a local food & drink connoisseur, or just a fan of a little nightlife, the festival truly has it all. Opening Night's 'Sip & Savor' Gala is hands down the best way to kick off the weekend. A perfect excuse to dress up and get a little fancy, the Gala is held on the resort's Great Terrace overlooking the estate's sprawling green acres and beautiful Carlsbad landscape. Local food and drink are flowing, and a great live band plays all the hits as the summer sun slowly sets over a truly five-star event. *Tip* - keep your eyes peeled for the many films' stars and crew - so chic! The films themselves are of the highest caliber. One look at the film list, and it is immediately clear that this event handpicks it's selection to create a stellar all-encompassing program. Documentaries, dramas, love stories, foreign films, sports and action... Every category is here and in good form! With three venues showing films around-the-clock the entire weekend, you will be starry-eyed and basking in movie-euphoria by the end of every night! The festival is on until Sunday evening, so jump in & join the party :)

Today was our 3rd Cinepolis experience, 2nd time at this location, man, what happened?…read more First we came here to see the Michael Jackson movie. It was a great experience. The service was superb. We had a very peppy server that was more than happy to explain everything and everyone seemed nice. 5 stars and I willingly overtipped. We went to the other Carlsbad location near the library to see "Mandalorian and Grogu" and the theater was fine, but the service was terrible and the food was cold. So, we came back here for "The Odyssey" and the experience was worse that when we went to the other location. None of the servers acknowledged us. It was only 11:30am and there was popcorn all over the floors near our seats, dirty napkins where I sat and obvious marks from food of previous patrons. It wasn't until I commented to my gf about popcorn all over the floor that the server overheard and got a broom. Still no acknowledgement and I was fine with that. Sitting in other people's popcorn caused me to lose my appetite. And what is up with the bathroom? 4 urinals, 2 broke with plastic over them and 3 stalls, 1 that does not flush. And meanwhile, two different men who did not know each other brought their tantruming 5-8 year old daughters to the men's bathroom. So, one 5-star experience and one 1-star experience. I don't know if I will return, but the last two Cinepolis trips does make it more likely I'll go elsewhere.
