I just recieved a flyer for this hotel for summer rate of $475.00 per room for sea view. It reminded me of awful stay last year where I rented two rooms from my family. The ugly viewalbe parking deck below grade as you enter your tower rooms. The tired furniture. Small bathrooms. The beach that has erroded which I must... more

We intended to stay 4 nights in a Jr. Catalina suite (room 440), but checked out after 1 night. At >$600/night, we felt this was way overpriced. The bedroom was nearly windowless/very small, and overall the fit/finish was not that great. Our "view" overlooked a gravel roof with seagulls laying on it with the ocean beyond. Not terribly scenic. The... more

Beautiful hotel right on the beach with a pool Expensive and then they charge extra for everything! No free wifi here although the coffee place had pcs you could use for free - but that was not mentioned in the room info Nice pool, good size room but housekeeping need a lesson in dusting Access to our room went past... more

We stayed in the Ocean Front Tower and were amazed at the view. The service was the best I've ever experienced and i would LOVE to go back. They know how to take care of their guests and everytime we called or asked, they jumped to help and went out of their way to make sure we were happy and... more

Our Anniversary, this May 18. Inspired by all the great reviews and the website. Well...read on. Between the Two Weddings and the huge high schoolers everywhere, i felt like my anniversary weekend was in Fort Lauderdale. Room 442 smells, and you guys try to cover it up, with a room freshner? Seriously, i can't believe you rent that room out.... more

This is the best spot in the OC -- friendly people, quaint shops, good food. Beautiful hills lead up to the coast and a wonderful walking beach with tide pools. The hotel is beautiful. It's laid out very well with outdoor space for taking in the views at every turn. The service is really wonderful. We stayed in the oceanfront... more

We stayed in the Vista Suite on a weekday so the price was more reasonable. The place doesn't really live up to the hype....yet it was still beautiful. ROOM: Plush & relaxing.....it was overcast during our stay so we couldn't get full use out of our sun deck. Loved the style and small touches. FOOD: It was 'alright'....I'd expect more... more

We really liked this location and the quality of the facilities. However when we needed help, the bellman was not interested. Finding our room was a challenge and when the front desk asked the bellman to help us he declined (once he learned that we didn't need his help with our small bag). That was a bad start that after... more

We have just returned from a fantastic stay at the Surf & Sand Resort. The hotel is right on the beach with views over the Pacific Ocean and ear plugs provided if the sound of crashing waves is too much for you! All staff were very helpful and although a bit more expensive than we would normally pay - well... more
