I booked a romantic one night stay for my husband and I. upon arrival, we were told our room wasnt ready and reminded (with an attitude) that rooms were only guaranteed after 4pm (somewhat late compared to many other hotels we;ve visited). we were told - it should only be a few minutes, we'll call you as soon as the... more

The hotel offers valet parking, but no Valet greeted us until after we had already unloaded the car. We had reserved a 2 bedroom Penthouse suite, which we found was located on the 5th floor right next to a stairwell. At the top of the stairwell was the ventilation system for the restaurant. The ventilation system vibrated and was so... more

My wife needed to stay here in conjunction with a business conference she attended. Right on the beach is hard to beat. We were only there for a few days and a raw sewage spill nearby closed the beach. Not the hotels fault though. They have a great pool, and hot tub. Rooms were clean and beds were great. Well,... more

You can't beat the location. The hotel is located right on the beach and lives up to it's name as the surf crashes non-stop on the beach, sometimes causing your room to shake. They do provide ear plugs for guests who don't like the sound, but I like it. Otherwise, the restaurant is OK, the waterfront bar is nice, and... more

We arrived at the hotel on Christmas Day. The lobby was nicely decorated for Christmas, there was a bottle of champagne waiting for us in the room. Our room was right on the water. Laguna is a beautiful town and I have spent a lot of time there so I can say that although the view from the room was... more

The Surf and Sand is the quintessential ocean side hotel. We stayed in a suite up on the top floor, and the roar of the ocean could still be heard as if it were right in our room. The suite was beautifully decorated and comfortable. The bed was extremely comfortable and even the couch was a great for napping spot.... more

Splashes restaurant has a nice ocean view. However the food is overrated, pricey, and the service is mediocre at best. The menu items have fancy names, but they do not live up to their descriptions. I would not return to eat there. more

We stayed at the Surf and Sand for the first time and loved it!!! It is very relaxing and the staff were great. The Towers rooms were beautuiful and the views were wonderful! The balconies in the Towers rooms have a table, 2 chairs, and ottomons. We ordered room service for dinner and loved eating out on the balcony. Room... more

We booked the Surf and Sand based on recommendations of friends and of TA reviewers. I was a little nervous because of some negative reviews, but we did not experience anything like that at all! We LOVED this place, the location and services were unbeatable. Just top-notch all the way....I don't even know where to start. The rooms were great... more

This is a truly wonderful resort and we will definitely go back on our next visit to southern California. The room was very comfortable with good facilities and the balcony had the most fantastic view of the sunset over the Pacific. It was wonderful to go to sleep hearing the sound of the ocean. We ate once in the restaurant,... more
