This is great and private Resort. We spent over there 2 nights. The value to stay here is great. Villas are big and service is very good. Dining is nice as well. This place would be perfect to bring your kids if you have them... but for couples it would be a great escape as well. Good thing that you... More

Wife and I stayed for two nights on a weekend. Nothing but heaven. No complaints. A very elite property with every detain considered. Sure, you pay for it but it is worth it. Not on the beach but great views of the water. Food was outstanding. Golf looked amazing. You won't leave disappointed (albeit a bit poorer). More

Went as part of a group business / pleasure trip. Place is ridiculously spectacular. It was certainly nice to have it be on someone else's tab, but my wife and I will definitely return. Our room was beautiful. We were on one of the golf holes, with the ocean as a backdrop. We only had two meals on sight. One... More

Best rooms for the money in the US for a 5 star property. Vaulted ceilings and enormous size a real plus. Amenities over the top. Staff is great. Parking spaces right in front of bungalows, so no valet fees. Incredibly convenient to restaurants in Newport Beach and Laguna Beach, and 20 minutes form John Wayne Airport. Food at Coliseum Restaurant... More

Wow $645/night..that seemed steep...I mean like "the Montage" Steep. But alas this was to be a dream Honeymoon so we took the plunge. I Tried to reserve a cabana at the Gorgeous Collesium Pool only to be told that a private event was happening there so no room for you two love birds. At Breakfast our waiter spoke Italian to...

we booked a long week end here after a business trip to China and we were eager to see how relaxing it would be.It is important to note that although all the accomodations face the Pacific, it is purely '' facing ' and not seeing.The villas are set back a considerable way from the coastline and even though they are...
