Beach access requires transportation, as beaches are not within walking distance
“The resort's access to LEGOLAND California proves a boon for families, further enhanced by dog-friendly policies. Expect well-maintained grounds, an around-the-clock heated pool, and multiple outdoor fire pits. However, inconsistencies in service indicate a need for staff training improvements.”
