Top Hotels Near Emerald Bay Beach in Laguna Beach from NZ$266

"The location was great. The room itself was a disaster though. Very small which I expected but the furnishings were out of date and lacked any effort to modernize whatsoever. The largest issue we had was that we were in a queen room and the mattress frame was made for possibly a double-bed so when we sat on the edge of the bed or the bottom, the entire mattress would want to come off the frame. What a joke for them not to purchase a correctly sized frame. The outside patio also did not have any type of lock on the door so although someone would have had to gain entrance from the adjacent room, it could have been done and we felt at risk. Do yourself a favor and spend the extra $100 or so and stay in a legit room nearby at another property. The check-in person was very nice however and did let us check in a bit early so she was great. We will not be back ever though - period."

"Less sound. "

"The staff are very kind, professional and generous."

"Staff was great! Incredibly accommodating and kind. I loved how the beach was walking distance. Room was clean but aged. Just needs a little update. I loved that there was free parking onsite but spaces were tight. If you have a smaller car it’s great but I don’t think a truck would fit. "

"Super clean. Super convenient location. Pool was small, nice. Staff was above and beyond great (Marita at front desk was super). Essentially a 3 star hotel, but a very good one. "

"Karen’s place was perfect for our family visit. Great location, with lovely views. We particularly liked the outside space and how well equipped it was for a beach day. "

"Nice place, nice area."

"This is a cute, quiet, cottage-like, hotel directly on the sand with beach access! I checked in on 3/21/26 at about 3pm and the front desk staff was incredible. They were super inviting, warm, and friendly and truly made us feel like we were being hosted in their own home! Thank you for the memorable check in experience and lovely stay "

"Perfect all round!"
