Orange County's well-bred Laguna Beach is the backdrop to Surf & Sand Laguna Beach, which feels secluded despite its central location. The Pacific Ocean glimmers in newly renovated rooms and suites – a palate of cool whites, beige and aquamarine blends with the view seen through floor-to-ceiling windows. Chic cabanas flank a beachside infinity pool, and original artwork supports Laguna’s thriving art community.
Located directly on 500 feet of California’s pristine Laguna Beach, Surf & Sand Laguna Beach offers private oceanfront balconies, exquisite coastal dining, an award-winning spa and more. From those looking for a family adventure to couples and friends seeking a pure relaxing getaway, Surf & Sand Laguna Beach has you covered. Our oceanfront hotel in California resembles a sun-washed Mediterranean Village. We offer 165 beachfront guest rooms, including 13 Laguna Beach suites, all of which feature stunning views of the Pacific Ocean and private balconies. Surf & Sand Laguna Beach is the perfect getaway for couples and families alike. Named in 2019 among the top 25 resorts in Southern California by Conde Nast Traveler readers, the resort also offers meeting and event space perfect for dream weddings and corporate retreats.

Where to begin?! The Valets (I regret I did not write down their names!!) and Bellmen (Sam and Christopher) among the best! We were welcomed with kindness, enthusiasm, thoughtfulness, and genuine smiles. Thank you to Maxine, Kevin, Allie, Hanna, Sydney and Christina (among other Guest Experience Hosts) for keeping it real and helping us anytime we needed. Special thank you to the Housekeeping folks who kept us stocked up on whatever we needed and taking such good care of us. The day and turndown crew were superb. Special thanks to Marcia. I will no doubt have missed many names of people who made such a wonderful stay so extra special. There were the ladies who were hostesses at Splashes who were terrific as well, in addition to the restaurant manager. Lovely lovely people. The fellas who stocked the towels for the pool and beach. They kept everything ship shape every day. It's a joy to walk through a resort and see the environment clean and orderly and ready for fun. Not to forget the young bartender with the blond mustache who offered me refreshments when I was on the beach and thought nobody noticed me there. So kind and appreciated. I hope my review covers each and every person that I mentioned. If not, I will happily start all over with one review per individual. The choice is yours, but please be aware of how much your entire staff creates a whole, relaxing, special, unique, memorable and cherished experience we look forward to sharing again. Additional acknowledgement to Jordan and Kelsey at the spa!! Thank you for the awesome massage and convos. I appreciate you guys! Can't wait to return to Surf and Sand Resort again someday!! Thank you too for being so sweet and going out of your ways for making our dogs feel special too! Whoever makes those treats is a rockstar!

A wonderful place to relax and enjoy the sounds of the ocean. The small beach is beautiful. Maxine was a great hostess and greeter. We would love to visit again.

We came here for my mother’s birthday and daughter’s birthday. We arrived at 3pm we booked two rooms and one day was ocean view second day pool view. We wanted both rooms on the same floor. They made it happen but we couldn’t get checked in till 7pm the front desk was apologetic and told us we could stay in the same room for both days. So the pool view was upgraded for one day. As we were leaving the we asked for the new keys and Ken the manager told us we had to switch rooms saying he upgraded us to ocean view for one day not both and we had to check out and wait for our new rooms we had to cancel whale watch and breakfast to do this. But we checked and we paid for ocean view first day and they never upgraded anything. Instead of helping us he just argued with us kind of embarrassing my family and wasted our day. I been coming here almost 8 years but the customer service of this guy makes me rather go to Laguna niguel ritz Carlton same price better customer service is you want to be treated like your staying at a motel or you don’t care about that customer service it’s probably the hotel on Laguna beach but thanks to him we rather go somewhere else for now on where they have better customer service and you can check in and not be treated like a peasant.

This was my first time staying at the S&S. The hotel is beautiful. The room was comfortable and spacious. We had a full 180 degree view of the Pacific from our balcony. Wonderful bar, delicious breakfast. Service was stellar. Hotel is a mile walk downtown to Forest Ave. Highly recommend!

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.
