Outstanding hotel, it stands on a cliff overlooking the ocean, the views are incredible, surfers riding the waves on salt creek beach below. Raya restaurant overlooks the ocean magnificent sunsets and good food, very romantic. The staff are fantastic, especially in club where they are outstanding. The hotel is really worth a visit, the atmosphere is stunning.

Very classy hotel, certainly one of our favorite Ritz Carlton properties! Can't beat the location! Service, of course, is perfect. Stayed on the Club Level and our room was very large with a large balcony overlooking the ocean. The food on the Club Level was beautifully displayed and delicious, and it was nice to get a cup of tea whenever... More

Perfect in every way! Every meal, including banquet meals, were great, the rooms were quiet, comfortable, and luxurious, and there are few more beautiful settings. Worth every penny, so I'm glad someone else was paying!

My first stay at a Ritz Carlton was in St. Louis. The service was very nice, but frankly I wondered what all the fuss was about. The RC Laguna Niguel made me understand. The service is outstanding without ever being in the way. I recently stayed at the Del Coranado in San Diego -- despite the Del's "natural" advantages in... More

I have no doubt the many 5 circle ratings are warranted. Our stay for 2 nights as part of a business reward trip had some regretable hiccups. Let me start with the obvious positives, facilities are first class, location is as others have described inspiring and the grounds are beautiful. It is a little bit of walk to the beach,... More

For all the hotels that wish they could say their service was superlative...this particular establishment should be considered the benchmark by which other places are graded on a percentage basis. So if you can find a hotel that can provide service, facilities and location which would come to 90% of what you will find here...book it as it will be... More

Spent a week at the Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel (@ Dana Point). Pulling up to the hotel late at night, I was greeted well by both the valet and front desk and could already feel the wave of relaxation overcome me. Nice job. The room (third floor, ocean view) was spacious and well-decorated, with sleek but not modern white furniture. Balcony... More

We stayed at the Ritz Carlton on Memorial Day weekend (like we did last year). Below is our take on the resort. 1. Sunday Champagne brunch . Our server, Matthew Donoghue provided 5star service. He was very attentive and personable. I highly recommend you request him to be your server. We couldn't have asked for better service. 2. Room -... More

Thank you for your loyalty! The resort is a great place to be on holiday weekends. How did your two labs enjoy their stay with us? We enjoy making our furry friends as happy as they can be while they are visiting. Will everyone return soon? We look forward to it! More

Stayed for 4 nights at the club level. Wonderful staff and great food. The spa is beautiful and the gym overlooks the ocean......just a wonderful view. You can relax on the foyer and enjoy the waves and watch the surfers all day long. Great trail for walking or biking. We had the best time. Can't wait to go back.
