Great hotel, very friendly front desk staff. Beware of hostess in restaurant. She is extremely rude. Nothing like being scolded for not having a reservation in front of your kids, after the front desk assured you, you wouldn’t need one!. And then listening to her complain about the front desk staff! Also apparently new self park system and still working out kinks, so was double charged. Still waiting for that to be resolved.

Beautiful views of Dana Point from the hotel and beach full of surfers. Enjoyed the 2 pools and hot tubs on the property. Bonus checking out Salt Creek Beach, one of the most vibrant, clean and fun beaches in Dana Point- Laguna that is 25-30min trolly ride from the hotel. Would definitely stay again.

Felt Like I Wasted My Money
We decided to try Laguna Cliffs Marriott because it was touted as family friendly with plenty of things to do. First, although they knew I was booking 2 rooms b/c we’re a large family, the rooms weren’t connected/joined. Staff came off as cold, unwelcoming; we felt awkward. Also, they need to have better communication or onboarding for 1st time customers. It would have helped to know that they charge $20 per person for continental breakfast (muffin, fruit, and juice or coffee) and $40 per person over the age of 11 at their downstairs restaurant for breakfast—and on top of that, they ask that you make a reservation for breakfast. It felt like we were getting gouged at every turn. Housekeeping decided to stop by at 8 or 9pm on our second night to give us fresh towels. We were very unhappy. We could’ve just gone somewhere else for half the price, and saved some money.
