Top Dana Wharf Hotel Reviews

Luxurious coastal condo with amazing backyard

10/10 Excellent

"Great place in walking distance to Dana Point. Had a great time with our stay and the check in/out couldn’t be easier."

Hilton Vacation Club Riviera Beach & Shores

10/10 Excellent

"Great property for adults and families. Excellent staff, useful amenities. The game room made us gleeful when we saw a large Connect 4. Our average age is 58. Hahaha Great location. We did wish there were more food options in walking distance, but it did not detract from our stay. Gorgeous view of the ocean. We hope to return next year."

Dana Point Marina Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Very friendly staff and generally clean facility. Convenient."

Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort and Spa

8/10 Good

"The staff and the hotel are great - but there is a lot of construction - and the pricing was outrageous for the festival (1200 to 1500 per night) - even though much of the hotel was blocked off and construction ongoing. That said, there was still a pool open (and it was great) as well as some great restaurants - but I do think they should have offered much cheaper rates during construction as you could still hear it during the day, so it wasnt quite as relaxing. Looking forward to when it is all finished."

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!"

Panoramic Ocean Views, Custom Bluffside Estate, Dana Point

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and amazing view!!"

Dana Point Dream Home with White Water Ocean View (Permit #STR14-0084)

10/10 Excellent

"Dana Point house was wonderful! We had the whole family stay here while we were in town for a wedding. There was plenty of room, the house was well stocked with towels and beach gear, the views were amazing and the location couldn't be beat! I highly recommend the house!"

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."

Cottage by the Harbor

10/10 Excellent

"Cute modern cottage within walking distance of beach, shops, and yummy restaurants. Very clean and welcoming!"
