My husband and I went for a relaxing long weekend. We ended up changing rooms and upgrading and were so happy for it. Room #304. People said the room really matters and I totally agree. I wanted to sleep to the sound of the surf, wake up to see the surf , and relax on the porch. We were lucky... More

This was our 3rd time staying at the Laguna Riviera. This time we brought our family to share our wonderful experience. We booked 2 rooms next to each other and each had a kitchen and a wonderful shared deck for meals, watching the surf and sunsets.

Repeat business is the highest complement we can receive. Thank you for sharing your experience and we are so glad the family had such a wonderful experience. From your tar experience it sounds like it's time for us to put out the orange cleaner. It works great on removing tar from the feet and is non toxic. While it's not... More

My wife and I just spent two wonderful nights in room 515 of the Laguna Riveria. First, it is much smaller looking in life then in the pictures. And it is definitely an older hotel catering to some long time users and surfers as well, right on a good surfing beach. Use Google to get street side view. The office... More

Kort, you've done so much to make the hotel beautiful and welcoming! This is my third stay in three years, and the place just keeps getting better.

We were very disappointed with this holiday experience. The location we couldn't fault - right on the beach. Exactly how it was depicted in the pictures on the website. HOWEVER what wasn't made clear when we booked was the extensive site reconstruction work - effectively the lower half of the resort was a building site. Balconies were very dusty and... More

It has been underway since the beginning of the year. After 7-1/2 years of engineering, design and challenging city roadblocks we finally received permission to stabilize the front slope... More
