The Ritz Carlton has a perfect view over Dana Point and is ideal for watching the surfers below or just gazing out at the Ocean (the Ocean front rooms are also perfect for this and the extra cost is recommended). The hotel offers what you expect of a 5 star hotel, and at the time of my stay, benefited by... more

We had a great weekend at the Ritz in Laugna Niguel. There were many regular guests there who have been spending July 4th weekend at this hotel for several years. The rooms are great, especially the marble bathrooms with double sinks. I would have preferred a steam shower over the deep tub, but that's just me. The beds are of... more

What sets this property apart is the location and service. We arrived a bit before check in time and we were sitting by the pool having a snack. The front desk called my cell phone 30 minutes later and told me my room was ready. My waiter overheard me telling the kids that the room was ready. He immediately offered... more

This Ritz-Carlton is not only newly renovated (it no longer has the grandfather decor) with gorgeous rooms, restaurants and meeting space - but it's all about the location! This hotel has the most breathtaking views of Salt Creek Beach. It's high up on a cliff overlooking the ocean - if you love being near the ocean then this is the... more

We stayed at the Ritz for 2 nights after our wedding. Beautiful property...there is no doubt of that. The public spaces are very nicely designed and the grounds very well kept. The location and beach access, including the beach shuttle were a nice bonus. We only ate breakfast at the hotel, but it was quite good. When we arrived we... more

WOW! This resort is spectacular!!! From the breathtaking views from the cliff, to the remarkable staff and service, this hotel was fabulous! We took the recommendation of another guest who reviewed the hotel and upgraded to the Club Level, which is a must! This is by far the most service-oriented, friendly, professional Club Level staff we have ever experienced at... more

Beautiful hotel, as everyone has previously written. Gorgeous views, lovely chairs on the bluff from which to watch the sunset. Pool is typical of the nicer hotels but is located in a courtyard area. Although there is a shuttle to the beach, it is a short walk away down a path. My children loved the beach. We surfed nearby at... more

During my stay I stopped into the spa to take a look around. So far everyone was great but after two people had asked me if I had any questions and I told them no I was fine and just looking around, yet another person comes out of a room to ask me YET AGAIN! She said she was the... more

We stayed on the club level (food presentations and private concierge). Tina the concierge (on the club level)was beyond any I have met in all my travels. I can not express how helpful she was. I felt like I was family every time I got off the elevator. Quite a difference from the downstairs general concierge. The brunette looked down... more
