It's hard to believe that La Costa Resort and Spa is undergoing yet another renovation, but they just can't help striving to be the best around.

The Spa is a fragrant and body-pampering experience unto itself. Enjoy a massage or facial--and then bask near the private pool or zone out under the Roman Showers.

The Chopra Center attracts devotees from around the world. They offer daily yoga and meditation exercises and far more intensive experiences for those enrolling in one of their programs.

Dining at La Costa is currently limited to the BlueFire Grill which operates under Joey's watchful eye. He is a TRUE treasure at La Costa--and a gregarious legend of sorts.

Kids love Kidtopia--and Geneva Raftery is a favorite with both kids and their parents. There's food, entertainment and crafts of all sorts.

The pools at La Costa must be experienced to be appreciated--and their Splash Landing is a year round treat for kids and young at heart who want to enjoy the big-time water slide.

Finally, don't forget the world class golf courses and tennis courts! Stay for a weekend or an entire week and you'll never forget the relaxing experience!

We are members of La Costa Resort and thoroughly enjoy the experience. The facilities and staff are great. Joey at the Blue Fire is a good example.

To experience La Costa Resort and Spa... first determine what it is you want from them. They will make it happen. I spent a day recently at the spa and afterward Blue Fire Grill.

Living super close the resort I was surprised about a couple of things. Although this is a private resort, the rest of us can also go their too!

With this new found knowledge I booked a message, milk bath, and lotus wrap. What a wonderful experience and incredibly relaxing. What comes with the spa prices is ful amenities in the indoor spa area, hot tub, steam room, lockers, reading area, etc. and the outdoor pool, roman shower, sun bathing area. There is a small poolside restaurant in which to order drinks and lunch. As suspected, the prices were not cheap, but the service was impeccable and the food was good. I believe the light beer that I had was close to $7 each.

If going, call first, I believe I saw others bringing in their own bottle of wine and drinking it around the pool. Or maybe they weren't supposed to, in which case, never mind, I didn't see a thing :)

The Blue Fire Grill surprisingly has live music on at least Wednesday evenings. I didn't know it and had never seen any advertisements for this. This particular Wednesday boasted an acoustic guitar player (Steve Orr) and he was really terrific at each of the songs people would call out for him to play. The Blue Fire was not busy, although I highly suspect this has more to do with the $18 glasses of wine and lack of advertising than any thing else. It is an expensive day, a relaxing day and well worth it if you are up for a bit of a treat.

Price range varies immensely based on what your order and what spa services you want.

this place is amazing when you just want to relax!!

I love to vacation here once a year, very relaxing, and the kids love the water slide. Great restaurants on site as well.
