10/10 Excellent

My husband and I stayed here for 1 night for our 20th anniversary. We have been wanting to stay here for years and we are so happy we did. The views were amazing and location was perfect! Check in and check out was super easy and staff was super friendly. There are close by restaurants, we just walked to the pier and ate at the restaurant there which is delicious and the views are beautiful. We are definitely going to come back but next time we will be brining our kids with us. And we cant...

Calafia Inn

San Clemente

10/10 Excellent

The proprietors are so friendly and welcoming, and the rooms are very clean and pleasant. This is my second stay, and it was just as good as the first. The shared kitchen is an added bonus, and is well equipped. It's also very close to the beach trail, so ideal for runners or hikers. The only slight negative is the proximity to the freeway, which is noisy, so if that bothers you, bring some earplugs. The location is great, and the parking is plentiful.

Perhaps slightly dated decor but spacious 1 bed apartment, plentiful storage, good size living room/diner and well equipped kitchenette, with coffee maker, microwave and dishwasher and laundry facilities onsite for modest cost. Beach towels and chairs available free of charge as was gated car park. We did not use owners lounge or jacuzzi but they were available while...

Montage Laguna Beach

South Laguna

10/10 Excellent

We loved the Montage! We have stayed in many great hotels, and on this trip to California also stayed in the Biltmore Four Seasons in Santa Barbara, and Shutters in Santa Monica. The Montage was far and away the best of these three. The service was faultless, the hotel and surrounding grounds beautiful, and dining options excellent. The views are wonderful, and little touches (like a complimentary champagne in the room bar), make all the difference - great attention to detail. There is a 5 star...
