    San Marcos is a beautiful city and less hectic than San Diego. I got to enjoy the Amalfi Restaurant, which I highly recommended. It is on Lake San Marcos by the Marina, it felt like stepping into the Italian Riviera for the evening. I attended a conference at The Movement church and that facility was beautiful.

    The area and people were great!

    The area and people were great! Loved San Marcos, Carlsbad, San Diego, and Malibu! Drivers are very considerate and cautious drivers. No litter a very clean area. I was in CA for work therefore only had a day and half to tour the area but hubby did while I was at work and said the same thing. We are both truly in love with area and would love to come back and stay for a week or more just to visit.

    Very friendly staff, especially Ken in the mornings made the extra effort to make sure the breakfast was a good experience. We did not have a negative thing to say. Great location, near restaurant row and right off the freeway.
