A true oasis, truly zen. Magnificent breakfast and while no restaurant, they do offer outstanding snacks and pizza for lunch. The pool is a great size for swimming and fantastic loungers. My family hails from Laguna and this place feels like the hotel designed to give you the locals vibe. Rooms are so delightful. Gorgeous boutique hotel. Try it.

Everything was absolutely perfect. I love boutique hotels because of the intimacy and the friendliness of the staff. breakfast was included which was a nice surprise, the records in the room were charming, and the resort was very well maintained and in a perfect area of Laguna Beach. Can’t wait to return!

Could not believe how much charm every corner of this venue had. My wife and I spent 2 nights here and were sad we didnt book at least 5 more! great location and Shaws cove just 3 minute walk away is arguably one of the most scenic spots on the whole CA coastline. cant recommend more
