We spent our Babymoon here and it has been nothing short of amazing!!! Carrie at the main Dana pool area remembers your order from the very first day and was absolutely incredible, making sure we had water and drinks and everything we needed! Ian from Atventure Photography onsite did our baby announcement pictures and it was the most beautiful sunset shoot. Junyi at the front desk also was awesome and made sure we had the best room and made us feel so welcome with surprise treats in our room and a handwritten card! We will never forget this experience. Highly recommend this location for a relaxing and visually stunning trip!

Our stay at The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel was absolutely outstanding. The property is breathtaking, the ocean views are incredible, and the service truly reflects the world-class standards the Ritz-Carlton brand is known for. I would especially like to recognize Rena, the Assistant Manager, for her exceptional hospitality. She went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect and took spectacular care of my children. The way she interacted with them and made them feel welcomed truly meant a lot to our family. My kids still ask about her and say we have to come back just to see her again. That alone says everything about the kind of person she is. Her professionalism, warmth, and genuine kindness made our experience unforgettable. Team members like Rena are the reason guests return to the Ritz-Carlton.

Rena & Bach at the restaurant ruined are whole experience. We had a reservation for lunch after spending the weekend at the hotel. We kindly asked for a window seat for are last day here. After coming down at our reservation time we were told to wait 30 minutes for the table to be ready. We went grabbed a coffee came back and someone was sitting at the table they were reading for us. They then lie and start to make excuses. Will never come back to this resort.

My family and I visited The Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel this past January to celebrate our two boys' birthdays, and the staff made the trip feel truly special from start to finish. I notified the front desk in advance about the occasion, and they made our boys feel celebrated throughout the stay. They left delicious treats in our room (even accommodating my husband’s allergies), wished them happy birthday at every meal, and included a thoughtful note. Special shout-outs to Amanda, one of the managers in the Club Lounge, who even prepared special food for my boys (tip: if you ever need kid-friendly food, they can make it for you!), and to Lee, a security guard who went out of his way to show my husband around the property and surprised the kids with cute apparel. Highlights of our trip also included a delicious meal at Raya, beautiful ocean views, comfortable beds, easy beach access, and an overall relaxing atmosphere for our staycation. We will definitely be back!
