Any one have any updated reports on Marbrisa?

We were there in October and compared to the Sheraton and Palisades this place is not impressive. We ended up staying at the Palisades instead and were very pleased. I would recommend this time of year to visit Carlsbad because the weather is great. The Santa Ana winds keep the marine layer away. You end up with air temps in the 70's, low humidity, and beautiful sunsets. Doc

... but you know what I'm talking about. I should have added that the clerk senced our disappointment and offered that they were going to merge with the Sheraton next door which is the nicest of the three in my opinion. Doc

I recently received a letter from Grand Pacific Resorts annoucing that their newest resort in Carlsbad, CA will be a Hilton Grand Vacations Club affiliate.

As an owner of the MarBrisa Resort, you will become a member of the Hilton Grand Vacations Club. The letter states that this will be their largest and most luxurious resort ever built. They are offering previews and pre-construction pricing.

...not by a mile compared to Palisades or the Sheraton next door. This is more like Holiday Inn Express. Doc
