Absolutely Exceptional. The staff is top notch. Room was superb...extra spacious room and beds, plus a large terrace. Already planning our next trip :)
The access to private beach restaurant.
The service was exceptional from beach umbrella set up to restraunt service.
The view from balcony overlooking pool and vista of shoreline was fantastic
Perched atop a seaside bluff in the upscale Monarch Beach neighborhood of Dana Point, this resort offers sweeping Pacific Ocean views and a private beach club accessed via a charming tram ride—serving as a blissful gateway to California coastal luxury.
Incredible weekend getaway. We enjoyed every second we stayed here. Great room, restaurant choices and wonderful property to stroll. We traveled w/our little dog who enjoyed the property, too! :-)
We’re already planning another visit very soon!
The customer service was excellent, Russell at reception went above and beyond my expectations. Bourbon Steakhouse was delicious and a treat for the entire family.
Great property. Close to many things or you can stay on the property and have everything you want. Fast and friendly staff provide anything you may need.
Everything was great. Although the hotel fees and valet fees are something to keep in mind. Dinning at the hotel can be very expensive although food is delicious.
service was wonderful. beds were great. pools were warm and handicap entry was self control and easy. all public areas inside and out were wheelchair accessible. knock out views. we loved it.
This property had a very nice ocean view that one can enjoy whether from the lobby or on the terrace or on the ground. We were surprised such large property in the suburb did not have self parking, only valet. The hotel lobby is spacious with comfortable furniture for lounging and socializing. The room was clean but not luxurious. Shower pressure was weak and we didn’t care for the scent of the soap and shampoo.
