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.

For the reputation and pricing of Surf & Sand, this experience was extremely disappointing…read more The staff was professional and courteous throughout my stay, which makes it even more frustrating that the overall experience fell so far short. 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.

Since then, I keep coming back...not out of routine, but because of how this team consistently shows up. No matter the time, no matter the reason, they always make sure I'm taken care of. Nick, Bachir, and Esmeralda...you've set the standard. The way you welcome me, my friends, and my family doesn't go unnoticed. It's thoughtful, it's genuine, and it's consistent. That's rare. After the daily grind, I find myself driving to Laguna Beach just to reset. It's my quiet place. The views, the serenity, the clean rooms, and the level of service..it all comes together. But what truly makes it special is the people behind it. This is why I keep coming back. Not just for the location...but for how you make me feel every single time. Thank you for making every stay worth it.

We originally sat inside, but asked to move outside because the view was just too beautiful to pass up. The green mountains made it feel like we were on vacation somewhere tucked away in the mountains. I ordered the burger and it was absolutely delicious -- thick, juicy patty with super yummy fries. My boyfriend ordered the chicken sandwich and it was honestly to die for. I also got an iced latte and it was perfect. Even the color of it looked beautiful and tasted just as good. Everything from the atmosphere to the food and service made this such a great experience. Can't wait to come back!

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 staff were friendly and attentive while we hung out at the pool. They even offered us a free upgrade for the jacuzzi wellness spa which comes with a whole bottle of champagne! The rooms had character, a comfy bed, and came equipped with many fun bar items for purchase. It was a bit musty but I think that is expected with being so close to the beach. 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. :)

Unfortunately, I had to…read morecancel my stay due to a family emergency, and during such a difficult time, the kindness and understanding they showed meant everything to me. A special thank you to the manager Cole, who truly went above and beyond. Despite the cancellation policy, they took the time to listen, showed genuine compassion, and helped arrange a full refund. That level of care and humanity is rare, and it did not go unnoticed. While I wasn't able to stay this time, this experience alone has made me a loyal customer. I will absolutely be booking here in the future and recommending this hotel to friends and family. Thank you again for your empathy and outstanding service during a very difficult moment.

I was in a suite. -the toilet in the bathroom was running, so I had to call maintenance. -the bedroom door does not shut! (In a suite!) It didn't even fit properly in the door frame. (See video) . AMENITIES- -after sunset in winter, at about 6 PM, there was no one working at the pool, and the station for the towels was unmanned and covered, as though it were off-limits, even though the pool is open until 10 PM. . SPA- -using the spa amenities is not included in the resort fee as a guest and costs extra. -had to ask for cream and sugar for the black tea they had in the spa (The only thing they had for tea were cups) . SERVICE- (yikes) Service has really gone downhill. That's the main reason I won't be recommending this place. -they had an activity on the daily schedule called 'Defining Moments' at 4:30 PM. (See photo). I waited 10 minutes after the scheduled start time, then called the front desk to inquire. She said it got canceled. Normally, they would do something to try to make it up to the guest, but she did not. So to me, the guest, this was not resolved properly. -very few employees do the "10 and 5 rule" anymore. Out of the over a dozen employees I encountered during my stay, only two of them actually did it. -A photo session is supposed to be included with the resort fee. I asked about booking one for the following day and they said they needed a minimum of 24 hours notice. Also, they had me, the guest, reach out to the on-site photographers. For a hotel of this caliber, they should be doing that for the guest. Furthermore, they should be scheduling it for you before you even get to the property to make things easier for the guest. Especially a platinum member. . TLDR: Nice rooms and location, but not up to luxury standards for the price, and the service has really gone downhill and honestly is not even considered to be up to par for luxury hospitality.

Our room was beautiful in that coastal style that doesn't try too hard, and we found ourselves at various moments just absorbing the atmosphere, having coffee in the morning, sitting and talking longer than usual, and just enjoying the quiet view. One of my favorite moments was watching the gorgeous pacific coast sunset together from the property. It feels like the hotel is designed to help you slow down and actually be present. The service throughout our stay was thoughtful but never over the top, and the whole hotel has this calm energy that made it perfect for an intimate birthday that wasn't about having a big bash, but more so being somewhere beautiful with someone I love.
