    Stunning
    Lilee N.

    The grounds are absolutely gorgeous. Postcard perfect. Came for lunch and wandered around the property to enjoy the sun and views. Just enough pretentiousness but the laid back atmosphere wins over. Staff is incredible whether helping you on the phone to make reservations, valet your car or serve your meal. Can't wait to come back to try dinner or even a stay.

    One of the most incredible spots to sit next to an open balcony, with a view of the ocean, and have cocktails and food while listening to the pianist. Absolutely perfect! My new favorite spot in this area.

    This was by far my favorite beach...shopping was so much fun...upscale vintage boutiques...beach clothes and so many quirky places for lunch or just for ice cream! Loved that sunny California vibe!

    Views from the patio off the main lobby area.

    We stayed at the Montage Laguna Beach for a conference by husband attended. The Montage is now one of my favorite place, tied for 1st place for most beautiful, and favorite places to stay. Everything is beautiful. From the moment you walk in the door your breath is taken away by the stunning ocean views. All the staff is over the top friendly and we felt spoiled by everyone. The rooms are gorgeous, with marble floors, marble bathroom, stunning balcony views, and the most comfortable bedding. Everything in the room is top notch and so beautiful. A couple highlights for me were: 1. Spending time by the pool, which also had incredible ocean views, and super friendly staff. The pool is heated so even though it was only high 60's, I was still able to get in for a swim. 2. I asked the front desk for trails I could run and was given a QR code that directed me to a list of mapped out runs I could do from the hotel. Each run was guided, just like on Google maps, and gave you queues along the way for how far I had run. I thought this was such a cool feature. 3. After my run I went to the gym, which again, has stunning ocean views. The gym was clean and had everything I needed. I wish I had known they had a lap pool because I would have brought a suit. So if you're a swimmer, bring your gear! I would say the only downside is that with all the beauty, and excellent service, comes a price. Everything is very expensive. I had forgotten sandles so I looked in the store and flip flops were $75, a sweatshirt in the spa was $200, 4 drinks at the bar was over $200... it's pricey. If you ever get a chance to come stay at the Montage Laguna Beach, do it. It's worth every penny and I believe you will also fall in love with it!

    Our family had so much fun at the montage and we were extremely impressed by the service we received from the moment we arrived. The staff are all very helpful and nice and not pretentious. The food at the restaurants were good too. I did have one encounter where i felt we were neglected during our dinner but maybe they got busy. This place is worth the price you pay.

    This property is so special, and I'm glad I got the chance to stay here. The service is exceptional & all the staff members take good care of you (minus some of the spa pool staff, unfortunately). Needless to say the views are phenomenal. Let me also add, the pancakes here are TO DIE FOR. They are amazingly good and one of the best pancakes I've had. S'mores by a fire pit is also a nice touch the property offers. The kits are so cute! Food on the property is surprisingly good, no bad meal was had. The spa 10/10 I can't wait to return!

    Sunset at the Montage Laguna Beach.  Public welcome on the paths.

    If you cannot afford a room here for $1000 a night, you can walk their public path to the ocean front for the absolute best sunsets you can imagine. That's what I did--I came here for the sunset and you can check out my pics from the front of the hotel. It's a magnificent property and if your budget allows--have no hesitation about staying here. Across PCH are also some excellent restaurants in a shopping center. There is also public beach access from the hotel path.

    Absolutely stunning and gorgeous hotel. Had dinner with one of our clients but came here after to listen to some music and have a drink. The piano player was phenomenal!!!! As well as our sever. I had a French 45 and it was the first time and it was sooooo good. I want to come back so I can see the views during the day when I visit again. But even at night it was amazing sitting on the patio!

    I LOVE the Montage and everything about it including the fitness room. They have techno gym equipment and it's well maintained. 3 ellipticals and 6 treadmills overlooking the smaller adult pool and beautiful Pacific Ocean. They are finally redoing the spa so the rooms are located on the fifth floor for now.

    I love this place

    THANK YOU TO ALAN FUERSTMAN AND VICTORIO FOR CREATING A LOVELY FATHERS DAY EXPERIENCE FOR MY FAMILY. I was pretty miffed by the unpleasant experience on my birthday, however Victorio Gonzales, the GM, went above and beyond to rectify the situation. Everything was absolute perfection from beginning to end. This is the montage experience I am used to. World class, premier class resort with ONLY The best of everything. Service was tops- as expected, food was excellent, and everyone throughly enjoyed themselves. Montage has been my go to resort since the day this location opened in the early 2000s. I will continue to be a frequent flyer for all locations if the service continues to be THIS GOOD. I'll be visiting again later this month. Thanks again, montage team! See you soon.

    Sunset so gorgeous

    My husband, daughter and I met my sister and her kids for lunch for Easter and our brother too. This hotel will always be my favorite in Laguna beach. The employee's are all so friendly and everything about this hotel is absolutely stunning and beautiful. The hotel rooms, the decor, the atmosphere being right near the beach what more could you want in a hotel! It's such a peaceful hotel. We got there a little early so we took a walk on the path and watched the waves and felt the incredibly beautiful beach breeze. I really needed to be near the water so I can feel even a little bit of peace. There are so many places to take photos. So many gorgeous flowers and scenery. Hearing the sounds of the waves crashing and getting lost in the sound is the most peaceful place on earth! It was pretty busy for Easter but we always come here for Easter. We had such a delicious wonderful brunch lunch together. Baby girl had fun with the Easter activities too and seeing her cousins. They had the most beautiful decorations surrounding the hotel I had to take pictures of the giant beautiful chocolate eggs and bunnies. After baby girl finished drawing we were walking to eat and my slippers broke while I was walking, so had to stop at the gift shop and got a pair of sandals there, the girls working were so nice and my new sandals are so comfortable and fuzzy I love them, thank you so much. The gift shop is so cute too, and I appreciate the really kind service. Thank you so much for the incredible friendly service and absolutely amazing food. I highly recommend this hotel its stunning, classy and just so breathtakingly beautiful we will be back again soon! Have the most beautiful day, be kind to everyone :) Aloha

    My boyfriend and I stayed at Montage Laguna Beach for my birthday weekend and it was the perfect reset and relaxation. It was not very crowded so we really got to enjoy the calm and peaceful atmosphere. Our room was really nice and clean and the bed was incredibly comfortable. We both slept so well. We spent a lot of time walking around the grounds, enjoying the ocean views, and relaxing by the pool. The staff were amazing, extremely friendly and helpful without ever being intrusive, which made the stay feel even more special. On Saturday night they had a live singer and a guy playing piano in the lobby, which created such a lovely, relaxed vibe and made the evening feel really magical. Overall it was an amazing birthday staycation. We left feeling refreshed, relaxed, and already talking about coming back for another quiet getaway.

    Amazing lunch at the Loft. Madison our server was amazing, food never disappoints, service always exceeds the prior visit. Sitting at the bar lobby and what an amazing bartender, Karl. Engages effortlessly & authentically. Dylan in valet took care of me and my son. Excellent service!

For the rates Surf & Sand charges, guests should not be placed in rooms with constant overnight noise issues, and concerns should certainly not be ignored afterward. Very disappointing experience from a hotel that presents itself as a luxury property.

We very much appreciated all the amenities this inn had to offer such as the welcome drink, evening cookies (delicious!), sauna, sunblock at the pool, towels, lovely breakfast.. all complimentary (breakfast with resort fee). We also appreciated the 10% military discount. We stayed in room 23 which was a standard queen bed with garden view and liked that spot because it felt central, private, and quiet. The room is on the smaller side but it was fine. It does not have a fridge but they provide an ice bucket. We ended up putting our bottled waters on top of the AC box and that kept it cool. Being that the inn is beautifully historic, there weren't many outlets inside the room. The bath robes were very plush. Both lamp shade knobs didn't seem to turn properly but we made it work somehow. Otherwise, we felt well taken care of throughout our stay and so glad we came. Aside from the inn, there is a walk to get to Victoria Beach. We walked south along Coast Highway to Victoria Place and found the underpass from there. We also took the free trolley outside of the hotel to get around town.

Pool service was also difficult to find, and it seemed like the hotel could really benefit from having more staff. Additionally, the elevator made a very loud and disturbing noise every time the doors opened and closed, which was concerning. Overall, the location and views are definitely highlights, but the cleanliness, maintenance, and service need significant improvement.

The hose on the deck by the beach to clean off your feat has 2 inches of sand on it so you come out with dirtier feet than when you walked in. It's shocking to encounter this level of neglect at this premium price point. The saving graces are the truly spectacular view of the beach, and easy beach access during low tide. Beds are comfortable enough. Overall, certainly underwhelming for the price point, but despite not meeting our expectations we enjoyed our stay. With just a little more effort this place could really shine.
