I've stayed at nice hotels but this is the absolute nicest as far as design, decor, ambiance, service. Such extraordinary attention paid to every item and detail. The only complaint would be the lighting in the rooms was crazy to figure out and even with all the lights on, it was still to dark to even put makeup on. Staff... More

I can hardly imagine a more iconic Southern California view than the one offered from the balcony of my room at the RC Laguna Niguel. Every morning at first light, surfers are paddling out to the waves that break just off the point below. The sandy crescent of Monarch Beach stretches to the North. You catch glimpses of the lush...

We stayed at this place for a week, to attend a company meeting. Great Place to stay with nice facilities. Try to get the rooms facing the beach as these are awesome. The sight of Sun setting over the beach, from these rooms is a great experience. The restaurants offer a decent fare, although vegetarians like me found it pretty... More

For our anniversary, we decided to head 15 miles south from Newport Coast to Laguna Niguel. We couldn't go out of the country this year, as my wife is near term in her pregnancy, so we decided to stay at the Ritz for a night. We booked he club level ocean view room from the Fine Hotels and Resorts, so... More

The property is wonderful. It is an excellent location with stunning views and lovely amenities like complimentary yoga in the mornings, and highly hospitable staff. My complaint is charging for things that I did not use. When I checked out my invoice included valet service for my non-existent car. The real transgression, though, was charge for a night that I...

Ritz Carlton does it again without standing service and staff... and this time the location is phenomenal. Ocean front with spectacular views of the Pacific. Watch the surfers just below the Hotel from dawn to dusk from the lobby bar ….Nearby Dana Point and Laguna Beach offer many activities for everyone, although you won’t want to leave the property….

This is one of the most beautiful places that I have ever visited. The hotel itself is gorgeous - wonderful attention to detail everywhere that you look, huge oversize windows everywhere, with stunning views of the ocean at every turn, and beautiful decor. What was just impressive though - and surprising! - was the quality of service. At most hotels,... More
