About the Hotel
Orange County's well-bred Laguna Beach is the backdrop to Surf & Sand Resort, 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 Resort 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 Resort has you covered. Our oceanfront hotel in California resembles a sun-washed Mediterranean Village. We offer 167 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 Hotel 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.

Reviews for Surf & Sand Resort
Beautiful Beach Hotel
Beautifully renovated and literally right on the water. Loved our room, loved the view! Front desk Staff was welcoming. The pool staff attentive. What we didn’t know was that a large portion of the hotel is currently still under construction. We stayed over the weekend therefore we didn’t have construction noise. We have been wanting to stay for some time now, just waiting on the renovations to be completed. With that said we regret not waiting till all the construction was completed. We had a few glitch’s during our stay. We were celebrating my husband & my daughter’s birthdays. We planned on having dinner at Splash’s their restaurant, just before our reservation a rain shower came through causing the staff chaos. Half their seating is outside. The upper terrace couldn’t be used due to no coverage and their beautiful lobby has very limited seating. We ended up taking a walk and dining elsewhere. The staff placed a bottle of champagne along with a personal note apologizing for the inconvenience. During the night the fire alarm went off twice. The next day, the heater for the pool and spa was inop so both were ice cold. There was also an issue with the workout room being closed. Beautiful hotel however several items need to be addressed. I’d suggest calling before booking to confirm all is in working order and the construction has been completed.

Mom and Daughter Time
My daughter and I loved this hotel. Our room was gorgeous. The view was stunning. Why bother going all the way to Hawaii. We felt we could jump out of our hotel window and into the ocean. Beds were comfy & clean and difficult to want to get out of bed to start the day. Staff was super helpful at all times. We enjoyed every minute. Can't wait to go back.

What construction?
We were pre-warned that there would be construction on the north end of the property but we never saw or heard any of it til we actually started exploring. The Tower rooms are absolutely elegant with no detail overlooked. My favorite was the ocean views from the balcony, room and huge bathtub. The customer service was A++. This was our 3rd staycation here and we will definitely be back 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.
