“Our time was too short ...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 6, 2013

We spent 3 nights at this magnificent resort between Christmas and New Year. The facilities and the staff are just wonderful. Others have written about the spectacular views over the Pacific Ocean but the stand-out for us was the level of service - from the front desk to the valets everyone was genuine in their willingness to assist. The concierge assistance was outstanding. Next time, we will be sure to plan for a longer stay at the Montage Laguna Beach.

“The absolute best!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 1, 2013

Our recent stay-cation was BEYOND any previous hotel experience we've had. Of course the grounds and facilities are beautiful, but it was the SERVICE that set this hotel apart for us.

We thoroughly enjoyed a lot of what they had to offer:

Lunch at Mosaic
A workout in the gym with an ocean view
Complimentary sparkling wine on our balcony
Dinner at the Loft
Drinks at the lobby bar, entertained by the fantastic in-house musician, David
Complementary morning tea and coffee by the fire pit

A super special treat! The Montage is what other luxury hotels strive to be.

“Christmas Dinner Experience to Remember”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 27, 2012

Our family was looking for something different to do for Christmas dinner this year so I searched on the web for options in Laguna Beach. The Montage Resort had two restaurants offering set menus, two offering a la carte menus and they also offered a 12-station buffet in their ballroom. We chose the buffet because of the flexibility in choice and because it offered live music. It was expensive but it was not just a meal it was an experience. The service was superb. The food was a feast for all senses. The music created a relaxing festive ambiance. The Montage's chefs kept in mind that Chirstmas if for children and offered a special lowered buffet for the kids offering mac n' cheese, chicken tenders, and peanut butter and jelly. After we finished our meal we were free to explore the resort. We found a balcony off of the lobby that allowed us to watch the sunset and take in the ocean view. A special treat was watching dolphins swim past for about a half hour while we let our food settle. It was an exceptional Christmas afternoon. If you think back to your own childhood, I bet you can't remember many of the gifts, but I bet you remember the experiences you had at Christmas. This was an experience to remember and well worth the money.

Your heartwarming review reminds me to be truly grateful of our fortunate location over the Pacific. What better way to end the holiday than watching dolphins swim past while taking in the sunset. We hope to be the site of many more lifelong memories for you and your family.

Warm regards,

“Beautiful Hotel on the Beach”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 26, 2012

Special place to go if you have the chance. Old fashioned beach style hotel. Grand public sitting rooms with piano player and views of the ocean. Great views of the beach and coastline. Staff was unbelievably helpful. I was there for business and everyone went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. Rooms are spacious with nice shower and oversized tub including candles, loofah, and special soaps. Wish I had been there for a leisure stay. There are so many amenities one could take advantage of. Food was excellent.

Our family is here for a one week stay and the Montage is beautiful!
The people who work here are so kind and professional, they go out
of their way to make us happy. The views are spectacular,
We are so glad we chose the Montage for our family vacation.
The food is excellent, the spa (health club) is beautiful.
When I read the reviews before we came, I saw how exceptional
the reviews were about the staff. They are true! Especially, Tim W. and
Jackie W. they have gone out of their way to kind to us.
