Reviews With Photos - Calamigos Beach Club

two chairs facing the ocean
Andie H.

Calamigos Beach Club is an absolute dream. Hotel guests of Calamigos Ranch have access to the beach club and can catch a 10 minute shuttle there every hour. My friends and I stayed at the ranch last fall, and visited the beach club for some drinks and bites at the bar after a day of wine tasting in Malibu. The jalapeno margaritas, tacos, and fried chicken bao were unique and delicious. The service and hospitality were first class. We took a short walk down to the beach front with drinks in hand, where they pulled out beach chairs for the three of us. You can also order drinks down at the beach and they will walk them down for you. We were the only ones at the bar and on the beach that afternoon, so it felt especially relaxing and intimate. I look forward to the day I get to return to Calamigos Ranch and Beach Club. It's a beautiful venue, down to the smallest details.

Beach club & Restaurant

Calamigos beach club is a beach club and restaurant that opens to public. It belongs to Calamigos guest ranch and free to hotel guests to use. Non hotel guests can get day pass to hang out here for a whole day. They provide beach chairs and umbrellas at beach front, also a drink and food menu so you don't need to bring your own refreshments. Basically they provide service on a public beach, and all beaches are public in California from coastal act! So there will be other people on the beach besides beach club guests. And two young women were doing an amateur photo shoot near us which was interesting to watch. Although Pacific Ocean is not as beautiful as Caribbean Sea but the weather is much better! I can't do heat and humidity, Southern California weather is still the best! This beach club is huge and beautiful with a main restaurant and an outdoor lounge on the sand on the property. Main restaurant is very cozy and intimate, the food and drink menus were decent. Little lounge on the sand has some games to play which is fun to hang around. The beach club and restaurant is located on PCH which is 12 minutes away from the guest ranch. We took hotel shuttle to the club and they walked us to beach front down the hills through a tunnel. Our hotel beach club provided chairs and umbrellas, we were able to order food and bottles of champagne from them. We spent an hour and half at the beach and took some nice photos until sunset hour. It was getting chilly so we headed back to beach club to eat our food. It was so quiet and we had the entire restaurant to ourselves mostly. The food was so tasty and refreshing, I think they had better food at the beach club than Calamigos ranch Malibu cafe. I really liked the complimentary coconut water and it was the best for rehydration when I drank too much! Hubby and I truly enjoyed our time at this beach club, all staff members were extremely friendly and pleasant. For some reason there was barely any other people around the entire time so it was so romantic, relaxing and intimate! We would love to come back here if we ever stay at Calamigos ranch again!

Looks closed since the pandemic. (Or only open to hotel guests). Too bad as it was fun while it lasted.

I worked as a vendor here on May 4th and was the most impressed by the venue itself. Guests are…read moreable to go down to the beach while still having plumbing accommodations which feels so luxurious. It is a bit of a smaller space with a large bridal suite and patio to fit even more guests. The only con is the lack of parking that requires a shuttle or parking across the street as Ubers and Lyfts are sparse due to lack of WiFi/being so far out.

This was my first beach wedding. I was a guest. This place is absolutely dreamy…read more CEREMONY The ceremony takes place on the outdoor patio which overlooks a beautiful private beach in Malibu. The view is breathtaking and you can hear the soft sound of the waves in the background. PICTURES: The bridal party took pictures on the beach with the guests behind them looking over the balcony. I'm sure the bride and groom also got some gorgeous wedding photos out there too. Note if you are in the bridal party to come prepared with shoes you don't mind getting sand in. I noticed the men brought sneakers and the girls were barefoot. WHAT TO WEAR I was unsure what to wear to a beach wedding. The wedding I attended went from day to night. I wore a pink cocktail dress and that was perfect. Everyone at the wedding I attended wore colored clothing. I would stay away from black. And heels are fine because you are on a patio, not the actual beach. I recommend some nice open toe shoes with heels. I suggest wearing sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses (for a daytime wedding) to protect against the sun. I also suggest bringing a sweater as it can get chilly by the beach and also in the reception hall when they put on the air conditioning. Just note that there isn't really a place to store extra stuff except in the bridal room so pack lightly. RECEPTION The reception is inside in an intimate room with beautiful white tables, chandeliers, and a beautiful white draped backdrop with lights. The venue is small and intimate. It feels like being in someone's private home in Malibu. You have the place all to yourself. LOCATION This venue is deep into Malibu. If you are coming from the Westside of Los Angeles you will pass Pepperdine and Zuma Beach to get here. OTHER This place got an award from "2018 Best of Weddings" award from The Knot. The venue works best for smaller weddings. The one I attended had approximately 50 people and that was the perfect size for this venue.

had the most incredible birthday experience at the Cambria Hotel, and I truly can't say enough…read moreabout the amazing service we received. From the moment we arrived, everything felt welcoming, but what really made the night unforgettable was our server, Marquis. Marquis went above and beyond in every way. he was attentive, friendly, and genuinely made us feel celebrated. He anticipated our needs without us even having to ask, and his positive energy added so much to the experience. You can tell he truly cares about his guests and takes pride in what he does. Thanks to Marquis and the wonderful staff, my birthday felt extra special and memorable. I'm so grateful for such a great experience and would absolutely come back again. Highly recommend Cambria Hotel, especially if you're lucky enough to be served by Marquis!

We came here for dinner and had no idea there was a restaurant inside the hotel. We've passed this…read morehotel from the freeway so many times and never realized how beautiful the property and ambiance were. We found the restaurant online and decided to visit for Father's Day. The Father's Day tomahawk steak special was a great value for the price and the portion was huge. The steak was good, but compared to other tomahawks we've had, it wasn't quite as memorable, which is the only reason for the 4-star rating. The creamed spinach was amazing, and the mashed potatoes were delicious. What truly made this experience stand out was the customer service. David and, I believe, Lance were absolutely wonderful. They were friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcomed. Their hospitality elevated the entire experience. While dining, I noticed several guests stopping to thank them, give them hugs, and say goodbye personally. That says a lot about how well they treat their customers. If management sees this, please know these two are incredible assets to your team and deserve recognition. We didn't order from the bar since we brought our own champagne, but the bartender was also very friendly. Overall, the staff was outstanding, the atmosphere was beautiful, and we enjoyed ourselves so much that we plan to come back and stay at the hotel in the future.

I can honestly say that we've never had bad service. After reading some of the reviews, I guess we've been pretty fortunate because our experiences have always been positive. I actually appreciate the security team for helping ensure everyone stays safe, and they've always been friendly and professional with us. The bar has plenty to enjoy, including a pool table, fireplaces, and various games. The bartenders are organized and efficient. Don't expect a lot of engagement, as they're typically very busy, especially when the place gets crowded. Tonight, we had no problem finding a seat, and other guests were very accommodating about sharing space. Overall, it was a great night and a wonderful way to wrap up our evening in Santa Monica. Tips: It can get noisy, but hey go in with that expectation and you'll be fine. Expect the ladies restroom to have a line, It's a 2 stall. Finally, regarding street parking follow the times of payment, they do ticket.

WARNING: They require you to have your photo taken before you go into the bar…read more Yes, they checked my driver's license and I am over 21. I asked for my photo to not be taken, they said I can't go in unless I have my photo taken. This isn't the TSA. I am not sure where my photo is being stored. Will they sell my photo to some data broker? Are they collecting photos of faces to be sold to an AI company? Who knows. No thanks, I walked off. Not impressed.
