Best Dana Point resorts
Perched atop a seaside bluff, surrounded by panoramic views of the Pacific and the sandy shores of Salt Creek Beach below, The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel is a coastal haven of new experiences. Located halfway between LA and San Diego, along the coast of Dana Point, the resort awakens the senses with its vibrant beachfront locale and celebrated Five Diamond service. Sprawling shoreline vistas create awe-inspiring memories from the moment of arrival. Dine on Southern California coastal cuisine, explore your surfside surroundings on an eco-adventure, or soothe with a spa escape. The California coast is calling.

Pros: Location is best in the world and the security team gave us free Champaign for our anniversary. Very nice.
Cons: Three star treatment, probably because of Coronovirus. There is no turn down service, room cleaning, beach club, shuttles, concierge or restaurants during pandemic. I'm sure it will be back to 5 star level shortly. Staff was trying.

Pros: The room was very nice with Jonathan Adler items sprinkled throughout. There was a nice soaking tub and separate shower too. The balcony opened to a lovely court yard. The hotel isn’t right on the beach but it’s only about a 15 min walk to the beach or you can take their cute signature trolley to their beach side bar. The private beach itself is small but beautiful. The hotel has a few restaurants and pools to choose from. The staff is extra nice and the place is dog friendly! They gave us a cute dessert to celebrate our Christmas stay.

They gave us a cute dessert to celebrate our Christmas stay.
Cons: Everything at the resort is wildly expensive. I’ve been to the Ritz and Montage and their restaurants and bars aren’t even that expensive! Cocktails are very pricey (more than what they charge at a fancy bar) a simple breakfast (we didn’t order a lot at all!) was $100+ and to top it off, valet (which is pretty much mandatory because street parking is non-existent) is $50/day. Our stay would have been fabulous if the dining/amenities didn’t cost more than our hotel rooms!
