Hilton Garden Inn Dana Point Doheny Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Great beach view!"

Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was absolutely perfect and will make it an annual event! I’ll never book thru Expedia ever again! Awful!"

The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel

10/10 Excellent

"The room was spacious and squeaky clean. The ocean view was spectacular. The bathroom was super clean, with a Dyson hair dryer. The massage at the Spa was amazing! The food at TAIKUN over-the-top! This second time was even better than the first! The common areas were very well maintained, with fresh yellow roses and orchids on every table. The valet was very polite, and the front desk was very helpful, explaining all the details. I’ve stayed here many times already, and keep coming back."

Blue Lantern Inn, A Four Sisters Inn

"Top notch! Worth the price. My wife and I came for a night after our wedding and had breakfast dropped off in our room. We stayed in the tower / patio room and enjoyed breakfast over the harbor. Would definitely do it again."

Spectacular Oceanfront - the Best Views in Dana Point !!!!!

10/10 Excellent

"Exceptional property with one of a kind priceless views of the Pacific and Coast.Very well appointed. Only complaint is that the unit was very warm and took a little while to cool off. Other than that is was perfect!!! Will definitely book again for my next trip to OC"

Dana Point Spanish Revival STR14-0220

10/10 Excellent

"Terrific location walkable to just about everywhere in main areas of Dana Point. Having A/C was a huge plus as we hit a heat wave when there. The only con was the bed was somewhat soft and indented where people have slept. I filled in the indentation with a folded beach towel and slept well. It is an old historic place so not modern at all, but it has personality and we loved it. Coffee on the front deck every morning, smart TV for shows at night."

Lantern District condo. Huge private view deck. All on one level. Walk to harbor

10/10 Excellent

"Great condo with all the essentials and more in such a wonderful location that is within walking distance to so much!"
