We had an amazing 4 night stay at the Ritz! The ocean view room was impeccable, the grounds were spectacular, and above all, the staff was attentive, friendly and overall, fantastic! Bed was a little soft for our liking, but then again, we like a really firm mattress. We loved 180Blu, the outdoor lounge area, which served great appetizers and... More

So many hotels in this class I've been to can't live up to their name - THIS DID. Every person on staff we met went out of their way for us - friendly, informative, helpful.

The Ritz is the only place to stay in the OC. I've tried the St Regis, Montage and Pelican Hill. Nothing compares to this property!!!!!! Great service, with discretion!

I've stayed at nice hotels but this is the absolute nicest as far as design, decor, ambiance, service. Such extraordinary attention paid to every item and detail. The only complaint would be the lighting in the rooms was crazy to figure out and even with all the lights on, it was still to dark to even put makeup on. Staff... More

I can hardly imagine a more iconic Southern California view than the one offered from the balcony of my room at the RC Laguna Niguel. Every morning at first light, surfers are paddling out to the waves that break just off the point below. The sandy crescent of Monarch Beach stretches to the North. You catch glimpses of the lush...
