"Would have liked a 2nd waffle maker etc... to many people had to wait as you could only pour it & make it 1 at a time. Front desk guy was great"

The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel

The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel

10/10 Excellent

"The room was spacious and squeaky clean. The ocean view was spectacular. The bathroom was super clean, with a Dyson hair dryer. The massage at the Spa was amazing! The food at TAIKUN over-the-top! This second time was even better than the first! The common areas were very well maintained, with fresh yellow roses and orchids on every table. The valet was very polite, and the front desk was very helpful, explaining all the details. I’ve stayed here many times already, and keep coming back."

Best Western Plus Dana Point Inn-by-the-sea

Best Western Plus Dana Point Inn-by-the-sea

10/10 Excellent

"The property was in good shape for the most part. The patio door would stick probably due to moisture expanding the door. Also, there was some water damage to the bottom of the door frame in the bathroom. I know from my own experience that if the bathroom door frame is not sealed, bugs would love to make a home there with the added moisture from the shower."
