Where do I start. Firstly I cannot write this review without giving a huge shout out to Sandra who is one of the lovely staff at Surf and Sand Resort - she made our trip extra special and sent some wine and cheese up to our room and also booked Nobu for us which was incredible as it was impossible to get a booking otherwise. As soon as we walked in I felt like a celebrity. We were greeted with amazing staff on the front desk, they upgraded our room with a small fee which was so worth it. Without even going into the Hotel itself the staff make it the most amazing experience. This Hotel is the only one on Laguna beach which is on the sea front, you can hear the waves crashing - our room was right on the water. The food in the Hotel was impeccable, you seriously need to try the breakfast burrito & French toast - OMG! On our first night we went for dinner and the food and cocktails were insane! I would seriously go back every year to this Hotel if I could. Excited to visit again! It is always fully booked so we were so lucky to have got a room! The best Hotel I have visited for sure! also the pool was incredible !

This hotel was one of the greatest surprises of our road trip, we booked it very last minute mainly due to the very interesting price and we got an incredible room/small apartment, with bath robes, separate dining/living and bedroom, super comfy beds in a warm and nice atmosphere where everything was spotlessly clean. It was very well located to explore the incredible surroundings of Lake Tahoe and it suited our family of 4 very well. The café next to the hotel had also incredible nachos that they would also bring to the room! All in all we enjoyed it very much.

A lovely hotel about 3hours from LAX for an one night 2 day stopover in LA. A treat for our last night of holidays. And wasn't it a treat. Hired a car, and arrived to Valet parking (extra), a beautiful comfortable room, and the most friendliest Hotel and Restaurant staff I have ever experienced. Sadly the weather wasn't in our favour, so swimming and hopping in spa wasn't on our list, but it didn't stop others as it was heated. The food, views, staff and decore at the Marisol Restaurant was sensational. There is an ocean walk path to enjoy as well.

The hotel is right on the ocean front and even if you don't get an ocean-facing room, it's easy to walk out to the pool or the look-out point for a fantastic view of the sunset. A simple complimentary breakfast is provided. It wasn't so bad as there were some hot items. There's also a restaurant and bar in the next building so it's easy to get dinner if you don't feel like driving out for dinner. The reception staff were efficient. The room was large.

Lovely hotel in a great location, great facilities including the pool, spa and games! Good to have breakfast included and had a good selection available. Room was a great size, and bonus discount at the neighbouring restaurant - would stay again!

Amazing care taken in house keeping, loved the additional water in each room, molton brown wash and soaps were impeccable and luxurious. Views of the vast desert made us feel like we were on set for a movie! Would gladly stay here again!

Checking in was a bit of a problem, had to wait a bit after check in time to get our room. Other than that, it was great. Beautiful views of the mountain. Nice big deck. Great place. We loved it.
