Surf & Sand Laguna Beach

Not even close to a 5 star. Service was sub-par. Onsite dining (Splash) missed the mark in all regards. Worst of all, see the photo of the King Suite view that was $1600/night. Will not be going back.

This is my favorite hotel here. I’ve stayed multiple times and cannot imagine any reason to stay somewhere else if you’re in the area. My wife lives the sound of the waves. Christina was our hostess and she was super helpful, especially when we need a local nail place.

Arrived after a long week of Thanksgiving hustle and bustle. The beautiful ocean, room and hotel staff were the best therapy we could have hoped for. From our first welcome with Maxine, Oscar who brought us an amazing congratulations bottle of Prosecco and chocolate covered strawberries and was so personable and professional. Then, Lorenzo in the Splashes bar who was so attentive and friendly. Patrick and Will in the Splashes dining room were terrific servers who provided impeccable service and hospitality. We are beyond words for the amazing hospitality and service.

If I could give this stay 10 stars I would. The upgraded property is beautiful and the views from the oceanfront rooms simply cannot be beat—I can’t think of another property where you are literally having waves crash under your balcony. However, what really sets the Surf and Sand apart is the service. I called asking about the possibility of an early check in because of an event on that evening and Christina at the front desk truly went above and beyond. She was beyond pleasant and accommodating, in fact because of her we decided to stay an extra night. The views here are unbeatable but the staff truly makes it a worthwhile stay.

First time staying here. Beautiful room overlooking the ocean. The service was impeccable and the restaurant Splashes was excellent! Shout out to several team members who made our stay very enjoyable: Ryne at check-in, Will, Alberto & Rigo at Splashes. I highly recommend this place!
