Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort and Spa

Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort and Spa

8/10 Good
"The staff and the hotel are great - but there is a lot of construction - and the pricing was outrageous for the festival (1200 to 1500 per night) - even though much of the hotel was blocked off and construction ongoing. That said, there was still a pool open (and it was great) as well as some great restaurants - but I do think they should have offered much cheaper rates during construction as you could still hear it during the day, so it wasnt quite as relaxing. Looking forward to when it is all finished."

Oasis of calm, charm, and comfort in great location near the ocean, resorts

10/10 Excellent
"Overall, a spacious and comfortable stay for two people. We happened to come during a very hot weekend, but fortunately, there was AC in one of the rooms and we were able to sleep comfortably. We didn’t spend a ton of time in the rental, but there is a beautiful terrace, a TV in each room, complimentary snacks, and a fridge. The host gives clear instructions on checking in, parking, and would check in occasionally via text during the stay. The only comments I have is the faucet handles had quite a bit of mineral deposits on them and I felt that the bath towels weren’t the best with drying."

BEAUTIFUL, LUXURY CONDO, GATED WITH WALKING TRAIL TO BEACH!

10/10 Excellent
"As desert dwellers, we were looking for a fairly local place to get a break from the August heat. This condo fit us perfectly. The location to the beach and free summer trolley stop was perfect. We tracked a lot of miles with our daily walks down to Monarch Golf Course, the beach and around the harbor. As daily swimmers, the pool and hot tub were in great shape and so close to the condo. The interior of the home was decorated in a cute beachy fashion. The two king sized beds were comfortable. The large,well-stocked kitchen was great - for what little cooking we actually did. Dana Point experienced a hot/humid weather pattern during our stay and having air conditioning, made life comfortable. Otherwise, if the weather had been cooler, opening the doors allowed for a great cross breeze. Access to a washer and dryer right at the condo was great. We have already been talking about a possible return in the next year."

"We’ve been spending part of the summer in the Dana Point area for about eight years, and rented this condo three times. It is, by far, the best property we’ve stayed in. Great location, comfortable furniture and the owner couldn’t be more responsive to our questions. Highly recommended."
