LaCosta Resort and Spa

A Refuge for Families During the Fires

The San Diego Wildfires darkened my neighborhood's sky and threatened our homes.

When the California wildfires blazed throughout several counties, including San Diego, in late October, 2003, reporters called this event the worst catastrophe to ever hit the state. These fires directly affected my family, and although our home remained, we evacuated the scene. Like many evacuees, our refuge became the La Costa Resort and Spa, a beautiful resort featured in this site, and located in north coastal San Diego County. This resort opened its doors to over 30 families fleeing the fires, offering a complimentary night stay during the worst night of the fire, and reduced rates for evenings thereafter.

I can personally testify that this gracious resort did everything to make our stay extremely comforting during a frightening time. With four very young kids (ages 4, 2, and 1 year old twins), my nanny, my husband, and myself, the La Costa Resort and Spa accommodated all of our needs with multiple cribs and a very spacious room. I had previously visited this resort and included it in bestfamilyresorts.com as one of the top resorts in the state; now I believe that their hospitality towards families is even more uniquely demonstrated by their actions during this event. They deserve special recognition for their kindness and generosity, and this is one more reason that those seeking a family-oriented vacation should choose La Costa Resort and Spa when planning a trip to San Diego.

FEATURED RESORT: The Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel

The Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel upholds the exclusive and extravagant ambiance known to its kind. Bellboys and staff maintain deadpan aloofness as Jaguars and Rolls Royces arrive at the front entrance. But while service attendants here retained their unimpressed demeanor, my family, on the other hand, was captured by this amazing retreat. More>>
