Our family stayed at Surf and Sand this past week and had an amazing time.

This has to be one of the coolest places to stay. I believe every room faces the ocean and has views that are all beautiful. It is so close to the water that every room comes equipped with ear plugs. However, you don't need them because they must have installed sound proof sliding doors to every balcony. We spent a lot of time on our balcony just watching in awe. We saw dolphins several times...we watched one of the most beautiful sunsets...very relaxing!

The room is decorated with a designer's touch. The beds were extremely comfortable, bathrooms very elegant, and inviting balcony.

If you are travelling with children, ask them about their "smores". They bring in a very small tent to your room with children's sleeping bags. The kids loved to sleep in here for a night....and they also bring prepared smores to your room.

The girl at the front desk "Melissa" was super nice and we bumped into the Assistant Hotel Manager Joanna Bear twice during our stay. On the second trip, she remembered our names and treated us to a cup of coffee in the gift shop (where my wife proceeded to buy some of the very neat ornaments). The bellman and doormen are all very nice. Every time we drove away, they filled our cup holders with a bottle of FIJI water for the trip.

We will definitely return to this property. I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone considering a first-class destination that will provide a top notch level of personal touch. FIVE STARS in my book.

I was able to obtain an aweome promotional rate by responding to an online offer on "Black Friday and Cyber Monday". I was surprised that the offer even included New Year's Eve. Arrived early and Melissa at the front desk was gracious and extended an early checkin and Jennifer gave us an appreciated late checkout on New Year's Day. Our room was absolutely gorgeous with a breathtaking view. We were even given a small bottle of champagne in a pretty wine cooler in the early evening in our room to toast the New Year. I was told that all rooms received this -- what a treat. The onsite restaurant, Splashes, was very good with a great wait staff and hostess.
The hotel was beautifully decorated for the holidays. My husband and I love the Surf and Sand and we both agreed to come back soon. In my opinion it is very romantic and we love to hear the crashing of the waves while in our room.

I cant imagine there is a better place to experience Laguna Beach like the Surf and Sand Resort.
First of all the staff is very polite, attentive, courteous, friendly and helpful. The attention to detail blew my mind. When I wanted the car, I didnt even have to give them a ticket or anything... they knew exactly which car was mine... everyone always greeted me by my last name... and with a friendly smile! The room? well.... OCEAN FRONT.... gorgeous... I could hear the crash of the waves at night... AMAZING.... felt Iike a meditation room! LOOOOVED it. I want to go back! I recommend it 100%

Just went to Laguna last week before the holiday. Just have to say what a great experience i had. The service was very attentive and welcoming- always asking if i needed anything first. Front Desk, Concierge, Valet and server at the bar- extra credit.
Facilities and food -fantastic.
And the hotel is in a perfect location- directly on the beach and close enough to walk downtown while wandering in/out of shops and art galleries.
I can still hear the waves crashing while i watch the orange and purple sunset from my balconey dip below the water line and watch the surfers as they try for that perfect ride.
