    Stopped here for lunch/a quick bite! Such a cute location for a drink or a meal! The food was reasonably priced and the flavors were really good! Perk is the valet parking that's available, making it super easy to stop by without having to look for parking!

    Fun place to hang and watch the waves roll in and have some cocktails. Service was great and the interior of the hotel lobby and common areas looked amazing. (We were told that the rooms were not renovated yet.) This place has a retro but modern feel. We really enjoyed our time here. I would make it a stop if you were walking the beach and needed a drink.

    This place is an Iconic landmark with great food and incredible beach/ ocean views! Our waiter Lorenzo C was both friendly and attentive. Super service.

    I was surprised by the low rating. I made a reservation for dinner Friday night. I didn't expect good food but wanted to see the beautiful beach Sunset view. I took all the recommendations from the service man, and pleasantly surprised the food was pretty good.

    I absolutely love coming to Hotel Laguna and treating myself to a solo date at Larsen's! There's something really special about a place that makes a table for one feel like a table for royalty. Every time I come in, I'm welcomed with warmth and treated with care--it's like they rolled out the red carpet just for me (and honestly, I don't hate that). A huge shoutout to the dream team: Mario (server extraordinaire), Shania (the sweetest host), and Luis (another server who always goes above and beyond). They make dining alone feel like dining in style. Highly recommend this spot if you're looking to enjoy good food, a great vibe, and a place that celebrates solo diners just as much as big parties.

    This is my favorite spot to show off to my visiting friends! It's deceiving looking at the exterior facade of the building, makes you think that it's not well maintained with the fading outside wall paint. But step inside and you'll be immediately happy you've stepped into one of the swankiest lobby and bar in Laguna. Make reservations at Larsen's and request an outdoor table! If you're lucky like me, you'll score a front row table to take in the unobstructed spectacular beach view while you enjoy the amazing yummy menu and cocktails. Do it! Friendly, prompt service, and lots of hard choices to decide what to order. The calamari and ahi tuna nachos were my choice. Both did not disappoint!

    We loved coming here the views are 10/10! But the problem lies in the service and food. I did not come here for a sushi review given it's not a sushi establishment but did end up getting sushi. While pretty, the sushi rolls were not properly rolled at all, falling apart sitting on the plate, fish is semi fresh but lacking flavor. Shrimp cocktail was ok, but fishy and the shrimp gut not taken out. I wanted to give this place a higher review but the service was off when we came a few nights. It began as attentive, but then quickly felt rushed as I felt rushed to search for drinks and frantically picked one based on recc after the waiter came a 3rd time or so, vs what I actually wanted to get if I had time to look up one. Then dinner is served quickly which is always great but the waiter continued to come over repeatedly where it disrupted our convos. So while attentive it became quite intrusive to our convo and time enjoying the views. It was not a line waiting to get in, so not sure why being rushed? Then when the check came, the staff continually starred at our table where it became uncomfortable for me as multiple people since only 2 tables left just stood up top and stared, to the point I ask the other person I'm with why do they keep starring. This prolonged stares occurred until we left and paid and got out of there at closing. The views alone speak for themselves but the service does impede enjoyment of these views and night out. I'm not a fast eater and wanted to take this experience all in to leave a solid review. I am open to trying again, but as a women it became uncomfortable pretty quickly with about 4-5 men starring continually. Maybe they wanted to ensure needs were met but it was pretty clear we were a low service table deep in convo, & didn't need that much attention. The plate was even almost taken before we finished the last bite. So a bit disappointed with the service and feeling rushed.

    Saturday lunch in Laguna is one of our favorites, and Arman made it another favorite day in the books! Thank you for your thoughtfulness and attention.

    This is the best Aperol spritz I've ever had in my life. The views of the coast are transcendental, the energy of the location is unmatched. There's not enough stars to rate this place

    We came here several months ago and had a great experience; unfortunately, the quality of service was not the same this time. Starting with the positives, it's hard to beat a beachfront view. The food was flavorful--nothing too bold, but still enjoyable. The drinks were made well, and the historical architecture and design of the building definitely make it stand out. Unfortunately, our service was less than satisfactory, to say the least. We had to flag our server down anytime we wanted to place an order, get a refill, or request the check, despite her walking by us frequently. I would say if you're looking at various beach restaurants, it is a solid choice, but not my top recommendation.

    Poke nachos, warm bread with French butter and goat butter, brussel sprouts, fig and burrata cheese.
    Beth D.

    What a fabulous dining experience! Amazing view and impeccable service from Gabby! Our seaside dinner began with a warm greeting from friendly hostess, Emma. We were promptly seated with an ocean side view. Our waitress was prompt and very personable. From the appetizers to entrees, our food was delicious! Lovely historical ambience, too. I hope to return soon. Thank you Hotel Laguna for a tasty date night!

The service was excellent and can see that staff takes great care and attention to making sure everything is taken care of. We very much appreciated all the amenities this inn had to offer such as the welcome drink, evening cookies (delicious!), sauna, sunblock at the pool, towels, lovely breakfast.. all complimentary (breakfast with resort fee). We also appreciated the 10% military discount. We stayed in room 23 which was a standard queen bed with garden view and liked that spot because it felt central, private, and quiet. The room is on the smaller side but it was fine. It does not have a fridge but they provide an ice bucket. We ended up putting our bottled waters on top of the AC box and that kept it cool. Being that the inn is beautifully historic, there weren't many outlets inside the room. The bath robes were very plush. Both lamp shade knobs didn't seem to turn properly but we made it work somehow. Otherwise, we felt well taken care of throughout our stay and so glad we came. Aside from the inn, there is a walk to get to Victoria Beach. We walked south along Coast Highway to Victoria Place and found the underpass from there. We also took the free trolley outside of the hotel to get around town. It could be quite a wait for the trolley as we waited 30 mins. There is a QR code on the sign to track the trolley locations.

One of my favorite parts of the hotel that was unexpected was the free breakfast. The breakfast was seated with a server where we had many options from a delicious, light, and healthy menu. Definitely recommend Casa Laguna for a celebration, staycation, or a relaxing weekend getaway. :)

From the moment we arrived to the very last second of our stay, the service was nothing short of phenomenal. Valet, check-in, room service, pool staff, etc. Every single person we encountered made us feel genuinely welcomed. A special shoutout to Splashes Restaurant. Their brunch was easily one of the best breakfasts I've had in a long time. And then... the room. Management graciously upgraded us to the penthouse, and I was completely speechless. The ocean views alone were unforgettable. To make it even more special, the room was beautifully set up with flower petals and candles everywhere. Tt felt incredibly romantic and thoughtful, and truly elevated our anniversary celebration. My wife's reaction was worth it all! My wife and I also treated ourselves to a spa day, and it was just as incredible. Lana was my therapist, and her hands were magic. I've had plenty of massage therapists in my life, but she has to be the best one yet. As a blue-collar worker, I carry a lot of tension, and she left me feeling amazing after our appointment. Lana, thank you as well! I truly can't thank the team enough for helping my wife and me celebrate our 2-year wedding anniversary in such a special way. This trip gave us a core memory we'll never forget. To everyone there, thank you. You were incredible. We'll definitely be back soon.

My room appeared to be next to what sounded like a utility or service room, and there was loud equipment noise running throughout the entire night. Sleeping was nearly impossible. I reached out to the hotel by both text and email after my stay and was told the matter would be looked into. It has now been over a week with no follow-up or resolution whatsoever. For the rates Surf & Sand charges, guests should not be placed in rooms with constant overnight noise issues, and concerns should certainly not be ignored afterward. Very disappointing experience from a hotel that presents itself as a luxury property.
