    My bed was very hard. I liked the location of my room but was surprised how uncomfortable the bed was.

    Location is perfect in great weather. The look of the place is very nice as well.

    We had a great stay at Laguna Cliffs, unfortunately it was only for one night since we were catching a ferry to Catalina Island the next morning. The rooms were clean and nicely appointed. we enjoyed the pool and the hot-tub and a beautiful breakfast in the morning in the restaurant downstairs. Very nice!

    The rooms are tiny. The buildings are obviously dated. Not really modern in any sort of way. The pool isn’t anything exciting. Again everything is fine, just definitely not a $700/night experience

    The hotel is fine. Obviously a great location. The rooms, the facilities are just NOT a $600-$700/night worth of an experience. I travel the world ALL the time and I have stayed in far nicer places (with a much more expensive experience) for these prices. We had to be there for a wedding. Would not go back for those prices. Would for ~$300/night.

    Room & location of resort was nice however my belief is that it was overpriced. Food tasted good but overpriced. I didn't ask however I did not know where to find ice

    Nice view from room. A little noisy at times due to the proximity of the kids pool/ play area. Food was good, however my belief was that it was overpriced. Breakfast serving staff was excellent. Spa service was excellent. The East side access gate to the adult pool area was inoperable, not opening with room key, had to be proped open with a rock. Poolside service was excellent. Valet service was excellent.

    The staff was cordial, professional and polite and helpful. They weren't friendly or welcoming...I think this is probably just the case when going to large brand chain hotel.

    Loved the location, the grounds, the view, the balcony in the room, the proximity to the beach and great food a short drive away..the kids amenities were fantastic..my three year old didn't want to leave.

    The price was a bit on the high side, and in that cost range I feel breakfast should have been included. However, I also fully understand the problems faced by the hotel & service industries due to the pandemic, inflation, and problems retaining service employees. These issues affect all other hotels, so it is just a general observation. Overall, an excellent stay at a beautiful location. Also please inform whoever hires and trains employees that they have done an excellent job! Ray Moore

    Hotel is nothing short of beautiful, the location is outstanding even for Dana Point, CA. All hotel employees encountered were excellent in all matters, could not ask for a better service experience. A small issue came up when I was attempting to print my airline boarding pass for my flight home and I was not able to do so in the business center. I asked for assistance and received instant attention that resolved my issue quickly and properly. Please extend my thanks to the staff, especially the employees in the lobby and front desk, and all those serving breakfast. I would most definitely come back for another stay, and I am fully aware that the Marriott at Laguna Cliffs has many top notch competitors in the hotel business. Thanks for a great stay, Ray Moore

    It is up a steep hill so you definitely need a car to explore. Walkable to beach, but not as convenient as I thought.

    Really lovely views & great location in Dana Point! The park right outside was nice, we got to join a yoga class one morning. All staff were very kind & helpful.
