Top Dana Point Harbor Hotel Reviews

Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach

10/10 Excellent

"One of the best hotels I’ve stayed at! Everything was beautiful and hope to be back again one day."

Capistrano Coast House

8/10 Good

"The hotel was fine. The location is ideal. The parking worked out well. The “continental breakfast” person called in sick my first morning and there was no backup plan. Be aware, these rooms are small. Picture a bed in the middle of the room with 4’ space on all 4 sides and a small bathroom. I was on a solo trip so it wasn’t too bad for one person. I think as a couple, more than one night would start to feel pretty tight."

Residence Inn by Marriott Dana Point San Juan Capistrano

10/10 Excellent

"We had a large room with a full kitchen. It was great since we were traveling with two small high energy children. The front desk was very sweet and she was very helpful. It was in a good location, had use right in the middle of Dana point and downtown San Juan Capistrano. Would definitely stay again."

Beachfront Inn and Suites at Dana Point

8/10 Good

"Would have liked a 2nd waffle maker etc... to many people had to wait as you could only pour it & make it 1 at a time. Front desk guy was great"

The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel

10/10 Excellent

"The room was spacious and squeaky clean. The ocean view was spectacular. The bathroom was super clean, with a Dyson hair dryer. The massage at the Spa was amazing! The food at TAIKUN over-the-top! This second time was even better than the first! The common areas were very well maintained, with fresh yellow roses and orchids on every table. The valet was very polite, and the front desk was very helpful, explaining all the details. I’ve stayed here many times already, and keep coming back."

Blue Lantern Inn, A Four Sisters Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Top notch! Worth the price. My wife and I came for a night after our wedding and had breakfast dropped off in our room. We stayed in the tower / patio room and enjoyed breakfast over the harbor. Would definitely do it again."

Hilton Vacation Club Riviera Beach & Shores

10/10 Excellent

"I read too many reviews on all the websites and got confused … and then went with my gut to stay here and I’m so happy I did!! I’ll be back!"

Best Western Plus Dana Point Inn-by-the-sea

10/10 Excellent

"The property was in good shape for the most part. The patio door would stick probably due to moisture expanding the door. Also, there was some water damage to the bottom of the door frame in the bathroom. I know from my own experience that if the bathroom door frame is not sealed, bugs would love to make a home there with the added moisture from the shower."
