Reviews for Surf & Sand Laguna Beach
Staycation with a View and Amazing Service!
We are locals and wanted a last minute staycation. Saw some prices on internet and called Hunter at the front desk. He helped me navigate the best rate and helped me get upgrade, plus early check in because I used my AX Platinum Card. Kurt was very helpful with my check in and following through with my request. We had an amazing oceanfront 2 queen studio with the waves crashing below us. Robes, slippers, beach bag, nice snacks/drinks at mini bar, beautiful bathroom, view etc. Loved the balcony furniture to enjoy the sunset. Ate breakfast at Splashes and dinner at Splashes Bar. Food was delicious. Grant at the pool bar was very attentive as was the overall staff at the pool. Food/drinks by the pool were delicious. Gabe at the valet was great too. The service, aesthetics of the hotel, staff, rooms, food/drinks, etc was top notch and worth every cent. We are already planning our next weekend away in a few months. Thanks for everything Surf and Sand!

Checked Out and went to The Ritz Carlton
I planned a special Beach vacation to celebrate my daughter’s 21 st birthday only to find out there is zero beach to relax on. The pool was overcrowded and cramped . They were aware of the celebration and did not acknowledge it . The customer service was inexcusable.We left and We were greeted at The Ritz Carlton with champagne , cake and balloons had an incredible experience ! Absolutely no comparison!

MEMORABLE OCEAN SIDE STAY IN A LUXURIOUS, INTIMATE RESORT!
My husband & I enjoyed a three night business-vacation at the Surf & Sand. The balcony rooms overlooking the beach & surf are luxurious and the staff friendly & accomodating. Overall, a very elevated & memorable experience!

Beautiful
What an incredible transformation since my last stay! The renovations are absolutely beautiful and have elevated the entire experience. What impressed me even more was that the staff remembered me from my previous visit. That personal recognition made me feel genuinely welcomed and turned a great stay into an exceptional one. Outstanding service, beautiful updates, and a team that truly values its guests—I can’t wait to return.

Great Anniversary stay and meal.
After living in Orange County for 50 years and walking past Surf & Sand 1 million times we finally stayed there for a 35th anniversary and it was a great trip. The room was beautiful. The view was beautiful the food it splashes is amazing. The staff was so accommodating and friendly. Ha check us in when we arrived and upgraded our room because it was our anniversary. Our waiter Aaron , at splashes for our dinner maybe the best way we’ve ever had. It’s a beautiful resort. The service was amazing. The food was amazing. I hope to stay there again soon.

We spent 5 luxurious nights at the Surf & Sand hotel in Laguna Beach, CA, the week of August 14th, 2004. Upon arrival at our oceanfront room, we received chocolate covered strawberries and champagne. A full breakfast in Splashes restaurant included anything we wanted on the menu each day. We had a wonderful dinner including a bottle of wine, and even the hotel taxes and parking each day was included. It was a really great vacation.

My husband, daughter and I spent a luxurious four days in August at the Surf & Sand Resort in Laguna Beach, CA. This was the perfect place to recuperate after dropping my youngest off for his freshman year at USC! Thank you.
