I recently visited The Pockets, the poolside restaurant at Alila Marea Beach Resort, and while the views were definitely a highlight, the overall experience was a bit mixed. The restaurant offers nice views of the pool and even a glimpse of the ocean, which makes for a pleasant atmosphere.
As for the food, it was just okay. I ordered the steak frites, but unfortunately, the steak was very tough and hard to eat. The chimichurri sauce didn't do much to elevate...

Soooooooo, there I was walking the beach from Carlsbad Village to wherever. Got hit by the surf, wet shoes and sweaty smell. Found the Pocket on Google Maps (7.2M walk) thought it was s SoCal Beach Bar (Surfers and Drum Circles), totally was wrong! Ended up Alila Marea Beach Resort! The Door staff, Reception staff, and pool staff were top notch! I had the ceviche and clams plus 2 beers! The entire time I apologized for my smelliness - highly recommend this resort!
