It looks from the outside fabulous. It is also a very nice looking hotel. Unfortunately, it is totally overpriced. The room I was given was at the very back of the hotel in an adjoining building. My view was that of the traffic down below. In comparison to other hotels I felt the room was rather small. I do not... More

This is one of the nicest hotels I have ever had the pleasure of staying at. The views are great, the room was huge and beautiful. We were even upgraded to a suite at no additional cost and we even got the hotel on Hotwire for half the normal price. We have stayed at several JW Marriots and this is... More

It was wonderfully relaxing and enjoyable stay. Found all the staff to be helpful and understanding. The room was very clean. It had a balcony with a beautiful view over looking the Lantern Bay Park and the Dana Point Harbor. I especially enjoyed the continental breakfast that included a chef that would make customized omelets. While there we took advantage... More

Perhaps it's the tone set by the mandatory $32 per night valet parking. The eagerness to offer $5 glasses of juice to the kids at breakfast ("Juice?" with bright smile, what kid says no?). The internet fees. Booking by phone at $209 per night, then hearing at check-in that's just for the first night, $219 thereafter... I admit it kind... More

Beautiful location! Once you arrive you really don't need your car- which is good because it is all valet. Parking is a bit expensive, but in line with other area hotels. The partial ocean view gave us a nice view over the lawn and park to the ocean. The balcony was a great place to have morning coffee. The room... More

My husband and I planned a weekend getaway. We loved the hotel grounds, the restaurant was ok, rooms were standard. However the valet parking was quick but yet the 29.00 a day fee plus tipping becomes a bit much,especially if your just making a quick run to the store. I would recommend this hotel based on the hotel grounds and... More

This hotel had a quaintness to it, although it had everything there, and somewhat large, it was also quaint. It was in a great location. The kids loved it. There was their breakfast bar area that has beautiful views and it was so nice to have a cup of coffee there and take in all the views.

This hotel is very beautiful and surprisingly kid friendly. The welcoming and capable staff made our stay very enjoyable. We stayed in a suite and it was a nice room but not at all worth the $800/night price tag. The suite was really on the small side, no balcony, with only two windows.

Ok so the thing about Laguna Cliff, CA is that the Ritz Carlton has the best spot around! That $500+ per night is worth it but if you don't have it the Marriott Laguna Cliffs offers similar amenities with a bit more reserved charm.
