Everything, from the ambiance, facilitates, rooms & staff. It was a perfect stay, we extended our stay because we loved the place so much. The staff were beyond accommodating, especially Lori at the front desk/reception (my kids adored her), Jorge at one of the main restaurants during breakfast (there are plenty of restaurant choices in the resort), Dan at the Spa/Nail salon & Parker who was the sweet driver of the Tram (my kids adored him too) & everyone at the pool. Every single staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome.

    We were in Dana Point the day after New Years Eve.

    We were in Dana Point the day after New Years Eve. The Christmas decorations on trees, businesses and the harbor are fantastic. Every server, whether mid day appetizers or dinner were the best .... ever. Made you feel like family. Dana Point is one of the best places we've been. Chart House is truly a great dining experience. Don't miss visiting the Sea Institute or taking a stroll out to the jetty.

    Great restaurants with beautiful views down at the harbor.

    Great restaurants with beautiful views down at the harbor. Beautiful beaches with easy access and affordable parking. We discovered the Ocean Institute, which wasn't open during the week, but we would definitely like to return to visit it and go on one of their tall ship tours.

    Husband and I stayed one night to catch a fishing charter scheduled for the following morning. The location was perfect... Walking distance to food, shopping, marina and beaches... Rooms were clean and the staff was polite and helpful... Other than the few issues listed below, we would definitely stay here again and recommend others give it a try... * The location of our room on the second floor, left us with no privacy, Unless we kept the drapes drawn, hotel guests stepping off the elevator were able to see directly into our room... *Room key issues- Need to update system. Locked out twice... *Paying to park in hotel parking lot

    Beautiful place. Safe areas to cross traffic. Beautiful beach within walking distance. Nice selection of restaurants within walking distance and/or short driving distance. Had to make several U-turns until I understood how the roadways were connected.

    Lovely place to stay for decent rates and nice staff and pool! Clean and quick to all sites from Newport to San Diego. Stayed 40 years ago and it's the same great place. Nice some things stay the same. Must eat at top of Dana Point at Restaurant overlooking the Bay. Forgot name but really great prices for food and the normal price of California.
