Our first time here! My longtime friend was visiting from Hong Kong and was craving Mexican tacos,…read moreso we checked Yelp and found this place with great reviews. I ordered the burrito, and she got the tacos. The burrito was packed with flavorful meat, fresh toppings, and a good balance of rice and beans. The tacos were delicious too -- the tortillas were soft, and the meat was well-seasoned and juicy. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and very satisfying. We both really enjoyed our meal and were happy we decided to give this place a try. Definitely coming back whenever we're in the area again! Highly recommend!

Every staff member was incredibly nice, welcoming, and invested in making sure my wife felt celebrated. A massive shoutout to the manager, Max. He recognized our situation and handled everything with absolute empathy and class. He elevated the entire experience. The drinks were fantastic, the fire pit provided the perfect atmosphere, and the service was seamless from start to finish. It made it abundantly clear that customer care is their top priority. If you are planning a special occasion and want a team that actually cares, look no further. Max and his entire crew turned what could have been a stressful evening into a high point of our year, and they have earned repeat visits.

Josie at the Farm was also incredible. She was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about her profession, and we learned so much about the ranch's mission of sustainability. That experience made us even more invested in and appreciative of the property. The room and amenities were excellent as well. Everything was very clean, the shower was great, and the overall experience was exactly what you would expect from a property of this caliber. I genuinely hope to return one day and be able to give the ranch a 5-star review, but there is one area I feel deserves some attention: the pool environment, specifically the enforcement of the pool rules with children. I completely understand that the pool can become extremely busy and that staff are understandably focused on serving guests. However, I think there needs to be more responsibility placed on the adults accompanying children, along with more consistent reminders from staff when necessary. The posted rules specifically prohibit ball throwing, diving, horseplay, yelling and screaming, and state that children under 14 should not be left unattended. Unfortunately, during our visit, nearly all of these rules were being disregarded. There were children throwing things, fighting, using foul language, and engaging in loud horseplay. At one point, drinks were even being spilled into the jacuzzi. It ultimately made the pool area feel more like a chaotic family pool than the peaceful, upscale environment the ranch is otherwise known for. Kids will be kids, and I certainly don't fault children for being energetic. My concern is that the ranch is a tucked-away oasis that feels very intentionally designed for adults and relaxation. The pool rules are there for a reason, and I think more consistent enforcement, and perhaps clearer reminders to parents, would go a long way toward preserving that atmosphere for everyone. Overall, we had a wonderful experience, and the staff, property, and sustainability experience were exceptional. With some additional attention to the pool environment, I think the ranch could easily deliver the 5-star experience I hope to experience on our next visit.

We arrived at the property a little before scheduled check in (2 hours ahead of time). I thought we…read morewould have to wait a long while, but the receptionist (Holly) checked us in immediately, and upgraded our room. She was friendly, professional, helpful, and accommodating. She explained all the hotel's amenities. In addition to the room charge, a $40 resort fee got us: 1. On-site parking; 2. Welcome sangrias; 3. Chocolate chip cookies each night; 4. A European styled breakfast each morning from 7am to 10am; 5. Wi-fi; 6. Beach chairs and umbrellas. Parking in Laguna Beach is a premium, so parking at the resort was great. The city of Laguna offers a free shuttle with a bus stop almost in front of the hotel. So we parked our car and took the shuttle all over town. The property is a well maintained, quant renovated 26 room Italian style resort. It's clean, charming, and has lots of character. It felt nice being at a small property and not at a large commercial hotel. We felt like we were back in Italy on vacation again! Just walking past the front of the hotel, you would not know that there is a luxury resort inside. They have a heated swimming pool (83 degrees), a sauna, and a secluded sun bathing lounge area and several other amenities. We opted for the heated wellness treatment which is a jacuzzi hot tub for two with mineral water. But they also offer single and couples messages and other message therapies. They have a quant internal courtyard for dining as well. We enjoyed a great European breakfast each day which was well prepared, fresh, healthy, and served by great hostesses. We especially liked the frittatas, fresh squeezed orange juice, hot coffee, and iced cold lemon water. The property is a historic landmark, so it doesn't offer handicap accessibility. So if you or someone in your group is in a wheel chair or uses a walker then this property won't work for you. Overall we really enjoyed staying here and would definitely go back again.

My husband and I spent two amazing nights here during the week. It got pretty busy at the inn as…read moreit was spring break. 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.

The hotel lends out umbrellas, beach chairs, and towels if you want to go walk the 10 minutes to the beach. There are loads of restaurants and boutiques within walking distance too. I think it's $50 a night for a car? I'm not quite sure, but it was around there. It's quiet, convenient, clean, and we would probably stay there again.
