    Always a posh time here. Top notch services around. The spa experience is epic. A must for deep relaxation, ultimate luxury experience and high end products. The best. Good is enjoyable. Can't beat the rooms and pools overlooking gorgeous ocean. The staff is incredible and bend over backwards to create the ultimate experience. Thank you Montage crew. You're amazing!

    What a lovely hotel and resort! There is a balcony off the lobby area where you can enjoy an after cocktail with amazing views! We did not stay at the property but stopped in for a cocktail and views. Easy valet parking and great wait/bar staff. Love it here!

    Stunning

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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 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.
    David D.

    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.

    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.

    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

They are so kind and made sure our stay was a pleasant one. The hotel itself is right on the sand. There's beautiful views all throughout the hotel and from the rooms. The location is perfect and close walking distance from many great dining spots. You want to walk whenever possible because parking is a bit stressful and walking allows you to enjoy all that Laguna Beach has to offer. One of my favorite things about the room was being able to open the windows and sliding door to the beautiful ocean breeze. It's the best! (We couldn't do that for a portion of our stay because a couple of the neighbors continued to smoke. Not the hotel's fault because it is non-smoking but we were bummed that we kept smelling it in our room.) The room was nice, quaint and clean in general. For the price per night, I would say it might be due for some up keep just from normal wear and tear, such as new pillows and things like that. It wasn't super fancy or anything but the location of it offered beautiful views! The hotel and staff are lovely overall. We would genuinely stay here again.

I thought we…read morewould have to wait a long while, but the receptionist (Holly) checked us in immediately, and upgraded our room. She was friendly, professional, helpful, and accommodating. She explained all the hotel's amenities. In addition to the room charge, a $40 resort fee got us: 1. On-site parking; 2. Welcome sangrias; 3. Chocolate chip cookies each night; 4. A European styled breakfast each morning from 7am to 10am; 5. Wi-fi; 6. Beach chairs and umbrellas. Parking in Laguna Beach is a premium, so parking at the resort was great. The city of Laguna offers a free shuttle with a bus stop almost in front of the hotel. So we parked our car and took the shuttle all over town. The property is a well maintained, quant renovated 26 room Italian style resort. It's clean, charming, and has lots of character. It felt nice being at a small property and not at a large commercial hotel. We felt like we were back in Italy on vacation again! Just walking past the front of the hotel, you would not know that there is a luxury resort inside. They have a heated swimming pool (83 degrees), a sauna, and a secluded sun bathing lounge area and several other amenities. We opted for the heated wellness treatment which is a jacuzzi hot tub for two with mineral water. But they also offer single and couples messages and other message therapies. They have a quant internal courtyard for dining as well. We enjoyed a great European breakfast each day which was well prepared, fresh, healthy, and served by great hostesses. We especially liked the frittatas, fresh squeezed orange juice, hot coffee, and iced cold lemon water. The property is a historic landmark, so it doesn't offer handicap accessibility. So if you or someone in your group is in a wheel chair or uses a walker then this property won't work for you. Overall we really enjoyed staying here and would definitely go back again.

The service was excellent and can see that staff takes great care and attention to making sure everything is taken care of. 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. It could be quite a wait for the trolley as we waited 30 mins. There is a QR code on the sign to track the trolley locations.

    Our stay at The Resort at Pelican Hill exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived,…read moreeverything felt luxurious, peaceful, and incredibly well maintained. The breathtaking ocean views, beautiful landscaping, and elegant atmosphere make this one of the most stunning resorts in Southern California. Room & Platinum Benefits As Marriott Platinum members, we were pleasantly surprised with a complimentary upgrade to an Ocean View Bungalow without even asking. While we weren't upgraded to a suite despite availability, the bungalow was absolutely incredible. The room was spacious, beautifully designed, and featured a huge bathroom and a private ocean-view patio that quickly became our favorite spot. Waking up to the ocean view every morning was unforgettable. We also appreciated the complimentary self-parking and the $70 dining credit, which added even more value to our stay. ‍ The Spa Was a Hidden Highlight One of the biggest surprises was that all resort guests receive complimentary access to the spa facilities even without booking a treatment. This ended up being one of our favorite parts of the trip. We enjoyed the spa lounge, pool, sauna, and relaxation areas at no extra cost. The spa staff were incredibly attentive--they even kept refilling my apple cider several times while I relaxed. The fitness center is conveniently located next to the spa, making it easy to enjoy both. Resort Amenities The circular Coliseum Pool is absolutely stunning, with panoramic ocean views and plenty of space to unwind. Every staff member we encountered was friendly, professional, and genuinely provided five-star service. Another feature we loved was being able to park directly outside our bungalow, which made everything extremely convenient. Breakfast at Coliseum Pool & Grill We had breakfast at Coliseum Pool & Grill one morning. The setting is absolutely beautiful, overlooking the pool and ocean, and the atmosphere is hard to beat. However, the food itself was just average, especially considering the price. We ordered the Crab Cake Eggs Benedict ($48) and the Breakfast Burrito ($26). Both were decent but nothing particularly memorable. You're really paying for the spectacular views, elegant surroundings, and resort experience rather than exceptional food. Crystal Cove Shuttle The resort offers a complimentary shuttle to Crystal Cove Beach. We personally didn't find it worthwhile. During our visit, the beach was crowded and not very clean, so we stayed for only about 15 minutes before calling the shuttle to return to the resort. Honestly, Pelican Hill itself is the destination. We'd much rather spend our time enjoying the pool, spa, restaurants, and incredible ocean views. Final Thoughts If you're looking for a relaxing luxury getaway, romantic staycation, or special celebration, Pelican Hill is an excellent choice. The accommodations, service, spa, beautiful grounds, and unforgettable views made this an amazing experience. The food may not always match the luxury price tag, but everything else absolutely does. We would happily stay here again.

The scenic views of the rolling hills and beach were breathtaking. The reception are was beautiful with the lively sounds of the harpist strumming some sounds. The setting was great and the rest of the events that followed were top notch. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

    Stayed at Casa Loma to celebrate my daughter's high school graduation. She wanted to stay in Laguna…read moreBeach. We usually stay at a Hilton brand hotel, there weren't any on the beach. I researched every hotel I could find that was within walking distance to the beach in Laguna. I was not sure what to expect since reviews were a little inconsistent. I was very impressed by the ambiance of this hotel! It's gorgeous! It's warm, tropical and beachy. Very unlike a chain hotel. There were a lot of beautiful details that made the hotel unique. The bed was very comfortable too. Our room had direct access to the pool and that was a nice feature. Other reviews mention the high cost, I agree, it was costly with additional fees. However it's not an economy hotel. It's directly on the beach and I expected to pay a premium rate because of that. A welcome note and fruit were left in the room upon arrival. The staff were great, Sam checked us in and he was very sweet. There was another young man with long hair that was also very kind (I didn't get his name, he gave great direction on some local shopping). Maria made an amazing champagne spritz and she was also very hospitable. Would stay at Casa Loma again 100%. It was a very pleasant experience!

    Five stars, no question. Casa Lomas nailed it from the moment we walked in. The vibe is unmatched,…read morethe music sets the perfect tone, and the whole atmosphere just feels effortless in the best way. Service was excellent across the board. Special shoutout to Troy behind the bar. He was exactly what you'd hope for: attentive, personable, and clearly great at what he does. Made the whole experience even better. Can't wait to come back. Highly recommend Casa Lomas if you're looking for a spot with real energy and great people running the show.

The location was so close to everything; beach access grocery store less than three minutes of a walk away. We will definitely be back

What is provided? A sad collection of cheap, warped plastic utensils. To top it off, the sink is partially blocked, there is some black mold on the ceiling, and there's peeling paint on the walls. The remote for the sound system doesn't work, and the rugs are filthy. 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.
