A room with a bunk bed, a mirror, a lamp, and a dresser.

Beachcomber Inn

San Clemente

10/10 Excellent

My husband and I stayed here for 1 night for our 20th anniversary. We have been wanting to stay here for years and we are so happy we did. The views were amazing and location was perfect! Check in and check out was super easy and staff was super friendly. There are close by restaurants, we just walked to the pier and ate at the restaurant there which is delicious and the views are beautiful. We are definitely going to come back but next time we will be brining our kids with us. And we cant...

A patio area with colorful chairs and tables, a wooden planter with plants, and a stone wall in the background.

Montage Laguna Beach

South Laguna

10/10 Excellent

We loved the Montage! We have stayed in many great hotels, and on this trip to California also stayed in the Biltmore Four Seasons in Santa Barbara, and Shutters in Santa Monica. The Montage was far and away the best of these three. The service was faultless, the hotel and surrounding grounds beautiful, and dining options excellent. The views are wonderful, and little touches (like a complimentary champagne in the room bar), make all the difference - great attention to detail. There is a 5 star...

Capri Laguna on the Beach

Hip District

10/10 Excellent

We had a pool view balcony. Room was nice, spacious and clean. Would love a sea view next time. Pool was small but very nice area with a deep end for jumping in and shallow end. Steps down to the beach and there is a patio area with sun beds / loungers and tables and chairs which was great, especially at high tide. Watching and listening to the waves was amazing. Swimming in the sea was great but be careful if there are big waves. More so at high tide but there is a life guard only meters away....

Colin

A beach view with palm trees, a pier, and a lifeguard tower.

San Clemente Cove

8/10 Good

Not cheap but very good value for a beachfront location within walking distance of beach, pier and central shops and restaurants. Perhaps slightly dated decor but spacious 1 bed apartment, plentiful storage, good size living room/diner and well equipped kitchenette, with coffee maker, microwave and dishwasher and laundry facilities onsite for modest cost. Beach towels and chairs available free of charge as was gated car park. We did not use owners lounge or jacuzzi but they were available while...
