These resorts offer service, amenities and surprises that will please the whole family. Here are five top spots to consider.
Park Hyatt Aviara, Carlsbad, California
Relax into the coastal vibe that permeates this five-star resort, nestled within 200 acres in the foothills of Carlsbad. Sporting a recent $50 million resort-wide transformation, the Park Hyatt Aviara offers breathtaking views and a plethora of on-site activities. Spend time at the peaceful adult pool or the family pool, where dual slides keep youngsters slipping, sliding and smiling. Both pools offer private cabanas. Opt for an outdoor exercise session, explore via an award-winning hiking trail, play tennis or reserve a round on the Arnold-Palmer-designed signature golf course. Test your skills in the Top Golf Swing Suite or head to a nearby beach for a surfing lesson. Families will appreciate the resort’s proximity to LEGOLAND California, where more than 60 rides, shows and attractions beckon children ages 2 to 12.
