We've just returned from a fanatastic stay at this hotel. We had sea view rooms, and the rooms were unbeatable, really spacious and bright with fantastic views of the waves crashing, also saw several dolphins. We were a little worried beforehand by the tripadvisor reviews that said there was no a/c at the hotel, however, that was no problem at... more

Than when we inquired about our room, we were told that it would be ready in a few minutes, we continued to wait. Finally we were told that it would be ready in five minutes and... more

I stayed at the Surf and Sand for 4 nights. The property is very conveniently located within walking distance of most of the shops and restaurants in Laguna Beach (this is why we chose to say there). The decor is beachy and perhaps a bit dated in the hotel rooms (needed new carpeting, I thought). Our corner room was very... more

I went their with my boyfriend to celebrate his graduation. We purchased the 60th anniversary package where we received a 2 night stay, $60 credit to the spa or the restaurant Splashes, free breakfast, and daily gifts. We arrived early for R&R, the room was not ready so we waited about 4 hours by the water, that was a bummer,... more

I loved the Surf & Sand and it's location right on the beach! The rooms were terrific and the bed VERY comfortable. But the crashing waves, while lovely to listen to during the day, were too much for my husband when he was trying to sleep, so we closed our sliding glass door. Well, it was sooooo warm in our... more

The Surf and Sand was the most perfect spot for my husband and I to celebrate our 10th anniversary. It was hard to decide between this property, The Ritz and The Montage. We are devoted Ritz patrons but took a risk and were so thrilled. We wanted to stay somewhere less formal and this is the perfect beach hotel. While... more

Right from the start me and my buddies were treated like royalty, upgraded to a bigger room as soon as we got there for free. Got to our room and it was better than any 4-5 Star that I could remember. The staff waited on us hand and foot and even brought stuff from our car which had been valeted... more

My friend invited me to join her on a "girlfriend getaway" to the Surf and Sand Resort in Laguna Beach. The hotel rooms were incredibly spacious and clean and the view from the balcony was to die for. The ocean was literally steps away. The balcony provided the perfect setting for sun bathing, reading, or sipping a glass of wine... more

Loved everything about the place........... The room was wonderful. Spotless, comfortable, well appointed. The turn down service made me smile at the end of a fun evening!! The ocean delivered sensory delights every day. The bar was fun. The restaurant was good. Work out room well equiped. We walked to many great places downtown (230, K'ya, Sapphire Grill - to... more

My husband and I stayed four nights in a corner tower room. We hesitated booking after reading some of the reviews here but are so glad we did! Fabulous location, beautifully redone rooms, gracious staff. The restaurant is a bit pricey, but the view is incredible. Very attentive and courteous staff on the beach as well. more
