Top Dana Strands Beach Hotel Reviews

Beachfront Inn and Suites at Dana Point

10/10 Excellent

"Great view of the ocean. When we were checking in the staff lady did ask if we wanted to change our room for a better view, larger room and larger bed because she said our original room booked bed was small for two people. Honestly did not want to spend more money for just one night but other then that the room was really nice. Complimentary breakfast was a nice touch."

Hilton Garden Inn Dana Point Doheny Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Great beach view!"

Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was absolutely perfect and will make it an annual event! I’ll never book thru Expedia ever again! Awful!"

The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel

10/10 Excellent

"The room was spacious and squeaky clean. The ocean view was spectacular. The bathroom was super clean, with a Dyson hair dryer. The massage at the Spa was amazing! The food at TAIKUN over-the-top! This second time was even better than the first! The common areas were very well maintained, with fresh yellow roses and orchids on every table. The valet was very polite, and the front desk was very helpful, explaining all the details. I’ve stayed here many times already, and keep coming back."

Blue Lantern Inn, A Four Sisters Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Top notch! Worth the price. My wife and I came for a night after our wedding and had breakfast dropped off in our room. We stayed in the tower / patio room and enjoyed breakfast over the harbor. Would definitely do it again."

Dana Point Spanish Revival STR14-0220

10/10 Excellent

"Terrific location walkable to just about everywhere in main areas of Dana Point. Having A/C was a huge plus as we hit a heat wave when there. The only con was the bed was somewhat soft and indented where people have slept. I filled in the indentation with a folded beach towel and slept well. It is an old historic place so not modern at all, but it has personality and we loved it. Coffee on the front deck every morning, smart TV for shows at night."

"This place was exactly as advertised. So comfortable and cozy. Very relaxing grilling hot tub area."
