I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were luxurious with a comfortable bed, my personal jacuzzi, and a balcony for enjoying the view. The service started off a little rocky with resistance to a late check-out, but the manager quickly resolved it, and the staff from the front desk to the housekeepers were top-notch. The location was perfect, close to everything in Dana Point and the harbor. The dining experience was fantastic with a great assortment of indulgent pastries. The facilities were excellent, offering everything I needed for a relaxing stay.

I had an amazing stay at this hotel. The rooms were cozy and clean, the staff was welcoming and helpful. The location is fantastic, just a stone's throw away from the beach and surrounded by great dining options. However, I wish the breakfast had more variety. The facilities, especially the pool area, were well-maintained and delightful. The value for money is great, but keep in mind Wi-Fi comes at an additional cost.
