"Great location, view, staff, pool. Had a great vacation, everything was wonderful except the bed.....way too firm. We had a difficult time sleeping; tossing and turning all night."

Capistrano Surfside Inn

8/10 Good

"The location is ideal but the property is showing its age."

Beach access escape w/ oceanfront deck- STR16-0534

8/10 Good

"The host was great and very responsive. The place was very clean and had everything that we needed. The views were great and the beach was a short walk down the street."

Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort and Spa

8/10 Good

"The staff and the hotel are great - but there is a lot of construction - and the pricing was outrageous for the festival (1200 to 1500 per night) - even though much of the hotel was blocked off and construction ongoing. That said, there was still a pool open (and it was great) as well as some great restaurants - but I do think they should have offered much cheaper rates during construction as you could still hear it during the day, so it wasnt quite as relaxing. Looking forward to when it is all finished."

On The Sand, Endless Sunset Views, Perfect 4 Families!

8/10 Good

"House was very clean. Lots of glass to worry about from showers, bathroom sinks to the huge patio door with rotting hinges that looks ready to break off. That was probably the most to worry about. Now you couldn't walk onto the beach like the advertised picture. Oh no!!! That was years ago maybe. Erosion took the beach away. It was private & safe though. Sandbox needs fresh sandbox for children to play in. Not a place for kids but ok for 3 years playing in the sand."
