Top Dana Point Preserve Hotel Reviews

Beachfront Inn and Suites at Dana Point

8/10 Good

"The experience was decent for just myself for a solo getaway. Not recommended for a family stay."

Capistrano Coast House

10/10 Excellent

"Charming room with a great location."

Blue Lantern Inn, A Four Sisters Inn

10/10 Excellent

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."
