Surf & Sand Laguna Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel. Staff was accommodating and food was good."

The Tides Laguna Beach

The Tides Laguna Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Great location! The beach, cafes and restaurants were a short walk from the hotel. And we loved that the room came with a kitchenette so we were able to reheat food. My daughter’s favorite was the pool area. It was clean and had lots of lounge chairs to sit on. It’s small but private and it’s heated! Would definitely come back!"

La Casa del Camino

"We really enjoyed our stay at La Casa del Camino. The location was perfect — close to the beach, restaurants, coffee spots, and shopping. The hotel had a fun, charming vibe and the staff was friendly and welcoming. Our room was clean and comfortable, and overall it was a great little getaway. Would definitely stay here again."

Laguna Surf Lodge by SCP Hotels

Laguna Surf Lodge by SCP Hotels

8/10 Good

"I researched this area and its hotels meticulously before booking. I almost switched reservations over the $38 daily valet fee — coming from out of state, that felt exorbitant. And worth noting: You don't find out the amount until after you've booked. (Booked on Expedia) Ultimately, location won me over. Here's the full breakdown. Pros: The location is the star. Boutique feel, clean rooms, comfortable bed, and thoughtful touches — the diffuser, yoga mat, and mini fridge all land well. Staff was consistently kind and accommodating. The grounds are relaxed and charming. Private beach access is a real perk, and being set away from the main beach crowds was genuinely refreshing — Walkable to good restaurants, shops, and a grocery store. Cons: My room — the Peaceful Ocean King with balcony terrace — was quite small and not so peaceful. First, the balcony and patio consumed much of the square footage, which I could accept, but the ocean view is partial, blocked by the roof of possibly parking area. The hotel is due for updates, not obvious initially, but peeling paint on the exterior. Walls are paper thin. Sitting on the enclosed patio, you're in everyone else's conversation. We tracked our upstairs neighbors' every move. And heard every sound from our neighbors on each side. No closet storage, no in-room coffee (daily trek to the main office, and no TV or phone — which fits the vibe. All in all, an enjoyable stay but I'm not sure I'd return."

Arabella Laguna

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful cottage, cozy, comfortable, very well-equipped with thoughtful details. Well-appointed, decorated very tastefully with gorgeous antique furniture and art. The kitchen was also well-equipped and the surrounding gardens are so beautiful and well-kept. Also, only 3-5 minute walk to the beach. Just lovely and beautiful, we hope to return soon as a family. Also, Connie was very helpful and communicative. 10/10!"

Hyatt Regency Newport Beach

Hyatt Regency Newport Beach

6/10 Okay

"Patio room was more expensive but stuck in a back alley corner that looked old and run down. No view at all from patio, which is fine, but don’t charge more. Room smelled like bug spray or some kind of pesticide. We had to spray with room spray constantly. Area all around pool just walking near it smelled like vomit. Weird and very unappealing. Overall, the rooms were underwhelming for the price. Lobby and bar area was really nice."
