Top Dana Point Hotel Reviews

Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort and Spa

Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort and Spa

8/10 Good
"The staff and the hotel are great - but there is a lot of construction - and the pricing was outrageous for the festival (1200 to 1500 per night) - even though much of the hotel was blocked off and construction ongoing. That said, there was still a pool open (and it was great) as well as some great restaurants - but I do think they should have offered much cheaper rates during construction as you could still hear it during the day, so it wasnt quite as relaxing. Looking forward to when it is all finished."
