Top Dana Point Preserve Hotel Reviews

Capistrano Coast House

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms are nicely remodeled. There is great character and charm to the entire property. Parking was limited and we had to park on street. Staff were very attentive to any needs we had and were prompt in helping us. Our room had double doors adjoining our room to the neighbors so we could hear conversations and their tv. The view of the ocean is nice and despite being on PCH traffic noise was minimal."

Dana Point Marina Inn

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed our stay. But for the price, our expectations were a little higher. Mouse poop on our counters, and lots of broken or rusty things in our room and around the property."

Best Western Plus Marina Shores Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great price and location. Would stay again"

The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing if expensive stay . Everything is 5 stars plus . Staff incredibly friendly and attentive. Ocean view is insane . Definitely one of the nicest properties I’ve stayed at"

Blue Lantern Inn, A Four Sisters Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Easily walkable to trails, shopping and restaurants. Beautiful property"

Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach

10/10 Excellent

"The mattress needed to be replaced. There were craters on either side and made it uncomfortable."

Hilton Vacation Club Riviera Beach & Shores

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, view, staff, pool. Had a great vacation, everything was wonderful except the bed.....way too firm. We had a difficult time sleeping; tossing and turning all night."

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."
