Hotel Spa di Laguna Beach

A very nice hotel with a sense of design and warmth. The rooms are very clean. The guy at the front desk was super gentle and patient. He also prepared a plate of welcome cookies which were also very delicious. My kid showed off 3 of them. The swimming pool is not big, but there is a hot spring pool next to it which is very comfortable. After soaking in it, you can warm yourself up by the fire. Although it is not a sea view room, you can still hear the sound of waves at night, like thunder in the distance, which does not affect the overall experience. Overall great~

First off, this hotel was beautiful, and we enjoyed an early check-in from their friendly staff and some beachside help with chairs and umbrellas on their private beach. We also enjoyed some 'community areas' overlooking the water and enjoying some sun and relaxation away from the sand but still near the water. My only complaint was that I feel a little misled by the pictures on the site. I booked a 'Deluxe king room with sea view' and I paid accordingly. The pictures included a balcony on the water. Upon checkin I was told I received a 'king room with partial sea view' and I was confused. I showed them my listing and they said they were fully booked and that this is what they had for me. The room had a window that faces the ocean but the room was set back and while yes you could see the ocean through a window, it was 60 feet away over a busy deck and clearly not what I had imagined when I thought I was going to get to see the waves from my room. The room was lovely and I found that most of my time was spent on the community deck/beach anyways. Had a great time and will definitely visit this hotel again.
