This is known as the “Secret Pools” in Laguna Beach and its only access is through a cave at *very low tide*. It’s a dangerous spot if you don’t know what you’re doing.

The staff were magnificent; Karen in particular. She was very friendly, warm and helpful. The rooms are decorated beautifully, but the noise level wasn’t ideal.
