Dana Point Marina Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was professional, courteous and most helpful."

Laguna Cove Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing price for a beautiful ocean view. I had to check in late and the staff was so kind to accommodate us after our wedding had ended late. It was a mini get away after just getting married and it couldn’t have been more perfect. I will recommend this place to everyone. All staff members were so kind and the place is so beautiful. 5+ stars!"

Montage Laguna Beach

10/10 Excellent

"I had a truly marvelous weekend at Montage Laguna Beach. From the moment I arrived, everything was exceptional; the beautiful grounds, immaculate property, wonderful staff, and outstanding restaurants. The entire resort has a feeling of elegance and tranquility that makes it very easy to relax and enjoy every moment. One of the highlights was dinner at Studio. The meal was amazing, but what made the evening especially memorable was the setting. Sitting there at sunset with an unobstructed view of the sun going down over the Pacific was absolutely spectacular. It was one of those experiences that stays with you. The Montage is a truly special resort, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an exceptional Southern California getaway. I had a wonderful stay and very much look forward to returning."
