We spent 3 nights at The Ritz Carlton Laguna Niguel after spending 3 nights in Los Angeles. The hotel itself is beautifully appointed and the location and views are spectacular. The lobby is tranquil and decorated to the nines. The hotel itself is clean and well maintained. The overall experience, however, was a bit disappointing. My husband and I are... More

Spent 2 nights staying at the Ritz Carlton - Laguna Niguel with my wife. All the usual niceties & the service was excellent, which again, in my experience of this company, is usual and as expected. We stayed on the Club Level, so had the use of its facilities & enjoyed the food and drink service which was included. Staff... More

We stayed here for three nights in May in a gorgeous Ocean View room. The hotel is stunning from the minute you walk into the lobby, with dramatic floral arrangements gracing all the public spaces. The room was spacious and comfortable with a large patio overlooking the ocean and the beautiful views of Dana Point. Unlike over Ritz Carlton's we... More

We loved our stay at the RItz Carlton in Dana Point. We visited for two nights in May for my boyfriend's birthday and couldn't have been happier. Upon arrival, we upgraded to club level ($100/night extra) which was totally worth it. There are 4 food services per day and an open bar with anything you could want. Not to mention... More

Luxury hotel and staffs are very friendly and helpful. Hotel is relatively new so unlike some old Ritz-Carlton hotels. Stayed in a room with ocean view. What a spectacular view! Decent size room with marble floored bathroom. Very clean and well maintained. Hotel is about 10 minutes car ride to town, which is very charming and has nice restaurants. If... More

Great view of the ocean from the lobby and common areas. Convenient to Laguna Beach. Our stay was just "okay" so it seemed a bit pricey. More

We booked a package with Ocean front view and a "Comfort You" package that included breakfast and 100 USD resort credit. The first experience was very nice.

A very casual yet elegant Ritz. Rooms are standard RC rooms. The views are spectacular, and spent half my nights at 180 Blu on the back terrace....it was purely addictive. A must to go back just to relax. More
