Make time to reconnect together at Park Hyatt Aviara Resort, Golf Club & Spa – Carlsbad’s only Forbes Five Star resort. Fresh from a $50 million transformation and offering brand new guestrooms, suites and several new dining experiences, one of which is Ponto Lago.

Featuring stunning Carlsbad sunsets the refined modern setting features Baja-inspired cuisine and specialty cocktails composed of mescal and tequila. The restaurant’s not-tobe-missed signature open kitchen pulls this unique menu to be center stage of the dining experience.

The design of Ponto Lago was inspired by the Southern California lifestyle and derived from two words. “Ponto” is the beach that connects into the Batiquitos Lagoon and “Lago” is the Spanish word meaning “lagoon” or “lake.” The menu takes inspiration from the waters that have historically brought the bounties of the region to our tables. The experience itself is characterized by the spirit of the open flame hearth and views of the Pacific coast that capture the essence of our destination.
