First, let me say that if you’re on a budget or watching your money this is not the place for you. The hotel is very expensive but in my opinion well worth it. I stayed with my partner July 2nd thru July 5th. When you arrive at the hotel you enter a busy valet parking area. You are warmly greeted... more

We checked into the Montage for a relaxing 4 day weekend near the end of June. The service was fantastic from the get-go. We arrived late in the evening and were escorted down a maze of hallways to a small room with an obstructed view of the ocean. When asked if we were happy with the room, we said "no"... more

I went over with a friend for a girl's 3 day weekend. LOVE the way they greet you at the door and immediately show you the property and then escort you to your room. There is no standing in line at registration. Personal touches were appreciated (bottle of champagne, chocolate strawberries, and no feathers on one of the beds as... more

Gorgeous views from the south oceanview rooms; great pool/green access for kids on the ground level behind suites (no view). A five-star experience when we stayed. Beautiful grounds, awesome beach with pool service on the sand. This is a large property with manicured grounds, sophisticated and polished, engineered. Not an intimate, cozy place. Not walking distance to downtown Laguna Beach.... more

My husband and I went to The Montage in March for our 10-year Anniversary. From the moment we pulled up, the service was unbelievable --Like nothing we had ever experienced. We felt like royalty. We stayed in a Bungalow Suite and were very happy with our room, complete with 2 flat screen TVs, a fireplace, and a marble bathroom with... more

This hotel is more like a large convention hotel than a small resort hotel. The parking is madding and there are parties and weddings everywhere. The place is so crowed that the only place you get any relaxation is in your room , which is small and nothing special. You are paying $900 a night for the location, which includes... more

The location is everything. Beachfront oceanview perfection. The grounds well maintained, very clean, gorgeous. Another positive point: the swimming pool and jazucci are opened 24 hours which is a real bonus. The problems: 1. We stayed in a bungalow. What a joke. Sooooo small. Room decorations: average. Did I say how small the bungalow was. The balcony: teeny weeny. I... more

My wife and I stayed at Montage for a few nights last week. We could not have been happier with our stay. The rooms are beautiful and the facilities are excellent and clean. The setting is magical. A great location overlooking the cliffs and beach with beautifully landscaped paths along the edge of the beach. The restaurants are expensive, but... more

Before it was a hotel, there was a trailer park in this location. They should have kept it a trailer park. My husband and I have traveled all over the world staying at 5 star hotels and this one was by far one of the worst experiences ever. The staff were the most rude hotel staff I have ever encountered,... more
