San Diego is one of the country’s largest military cities, so we weren’t surprised to find discounts on some of the nicest hotels in town. Check out these military offers — and scroll all the way down for the LEGOLAND deal.
Omni La Costa Resort & Spa in Carlsbad offers active duty and retired servicemembers and their immediate family members discounted rates starting at $142 (versus regular starting rates of nearly $300). The 607-room hotel features an adults-only pool, athletic club, dozens of wellness programs and fitness classes, waterslides, two award-winning golf courses, and the famous Spa at La Costa. Through the resort’s generous Salute to Service package, you’ll also get a welcome amenity, reduced pricing at the resort’s golf courses, 15 percent off spa treatments, 15-percent off at the resort’s restaurants and cafes, and 10-percent off at the resort’s shops.
