About Cape Rey Carlsbad Beach, A Hilton Resort & Spa
So what makes this prize worth entering? For starters, the Pacific Ocean is literally 150 steps from the front door. Perched atop a gentle coastal bluff above Carlsbad State Beach, Cape Rey Carlsbad Beach, a Hilton Resort & Spa delivers something the rest of the country cannot replicate in the fall: a genuine beach day. While inland California cools and the rest of the country heads indoors, the SoCal coast stays warm, golden and gloriously open for business.
The resort’s rooms and suites are designed with coastal comfort in mind: pillowtop beds, ocean-view balconies, in-room amenities and all the ease of a full-service Hilton property. Guests can take a dip in the outdoor pool overlooking the beach, claim a cabana, rent a beach cruiser or simply let the sound of the Pacific do the heavy lifting. The resort’s daily amenities package covers beach chairs, towels, umbrellas, reusable water bottles and refills, morning premium coffee and a complimentary resort shuttle, so the only decision left is how long to linger.
Many of the staff are locals who embody the beach community culture, so guests feel that welcoming Carlsbad vibe the moment they arrive. The resort partners with local companies to provide discounted surf lessons, e-bike rentals, Fallbrook Wine Tours and Pvolve Carlsbad classes so there’s always more to explore beyond the shore.
Ocean Crest Spa
After a morning by the water, the weekend has one more move: Ocean Crest Spa. Inspired by the Pacific’s healing aura, this award-winning spa uses custom-blended and naturally-derived ingredients and products in every treatment; many sourced from the ocean itself. Seven designated treatment rooms and a refreshing steam room anchor the experience, along with indoor and outdoor relaxation areas where the coastal air does half the work before anyone even gets on the table.
The spa’s menu has it all: deep tissue and hot stone massage, Hawaiian Lomi-Lomi, reflexology, shiatsu, anti-aging facials and seasonal body treatments like the Coconut Crush Body Polish & Massage, which pairs tropical exfoliants with a therapeutic massage using exotic oils. Couples treatments are available, making Ocean Crest Spa the natural choice for a partners’ weekend or a friends’ getaway where everyone leaves with better skin and a renewed sense of calm. Post-treatment, spa guests have access to the resort pool and can head directly to Chandler’s for a scenic oceanfront dining experience.
Chandler’s Oceanfront Dining
The weekend closes at the table with the best seat on the coast. Chandler’s Oceanfront Dining is Cape Rey’s signature restaurant: an OpenTable Diners’ Choice winner, recognized by Ranch & Coast as a top pick for best American cuisine, and one of the top ten outdoor dining spots in North San Diego, where Coastal California Cuisine meets nothing-but-ocean views for miles. On a clear evening, the Pacific fills every window and the sunsets are, as the resort puts it, served complimentary.
The menu is built around seasonality and place: fresh seafood, produce from local farms and herbs from the resort’s own on-site Chef’s Garden. All dishes are composed by Executive Chef John Hart, whose California culinary career includes a gold medal at the Berlin Culinary Olympics. Signature dishes include the Cape Rey Clam Chowder, Chili Crusted Wild Caught Sea Bass, Maine Lobster Nachos and an 8 oz. Filet Mignon. Breakfast, lunch, dinner and weekend brunch are all available, with happy hour running daily from 4–6 p.m. The bar menu keeps things going until 10 p.m., serving drinks on the sunset terrace or by the pool. For a true California dining experience, there isn’t another table like it.
