My husband and I came for a 2 day visit. We were told this place is a time-share when we checked in. We needed to change rooms and that was good. The first night we had a front ocean room and the second night we had a back hillside view. We liked the back room the best. The back bathroom did have a very short toilet. I’m 5’ 8”. We liked that there were bbq’s on the patio of both rooms, they have them on every patio. Because this place is a time share everything you need is in the room. Silverware, plates, glasses, bbq utensils, pans, casserole, strainer, wine opener, extra sheets and towels already in the room. Very nice place. We will come back.

Fantastic customer service and beautiful place!

We stayed here because we were meeting up with family. The people at the front desk were not only very professional, but very accommodating. They gave us a room next door to our grandkids which made it so much fun! My husband is disabled and they were so kind and understanding in little ways that made a big difference. Our unit was immaculate, with everything we needed, including kitchen furnishings. The pool and spa were lovely and well kept. Thanks for a great experience!

Great stay for our quick trip. Loved the free bikes for touring Dana Pt , good access the beach, but you have to walk across a pedestrian bridge over the train tracks- not as bad as it sounds. Price was high, mainly due to the music festival. Room was clean, cozy and nice to have a full kitchen.

No compassion for people

My boyfriend and I were excited to try this hotel out for my birthday week and he fell violently ill on the day of. I had to take him to the ER and he was in the hospital for a few days. The manager finally called me back after trying to get in touch for 3 days to see if I could reschedule. She denied my request and the hotel is trying to take my money still even though I didn't stay there. We will never stay there now. I've been in customer service for 28 yrs and that's not how you treat people. Would not recommend this place.

Great place overall, but the road noise and train made it not as appealing. Not the hotels fault, but definitely an issue staying there.

I love the location, I grew up in Dana Point and went to Doheny Beach alot ! It was great to be able to walk across to the beach. I was also impressed when the TV was not working that Agustina was able to change our room to a room with a working TV. I really appreciated that. The room was spacious and loved the view! We will sstay here again!

Stay here

This place was exactly what I saw on the website when i booked through hotels.com. Everything was great. I was out exploring the general areas, and didn't get to use the bikes on the beach. Next time. I will stay again and recommend to friends.
