"LOVED THIS! This place is smack dab in the middle close to everything! The pool is refreshing and clean, the spa hot but not too hot. Property is BEAUTIFUL and well maintained with ample parking. I didnt eat the breakfast provided since I overslept lol but my mother said it was great and convenient. Keep in mind its continental. Ac runs cold, bed was good, shower and bathroom clean. Went with family 3 adults two queens. Really all you need is this place and you will feel safe and especially if you are visiting laguna beach stay here its close enough to not have to long to drive I think it was around 18 min drive and also far enough you dont have to deal with being price gouged."

"The rooms are nicely remodeled. There is great character and charm to the entire property. Parking was limited and we had to park on street. Staff were very attentive to any needs we had and were prompt in helping us. Our room had double doors adjoining our room to the neighbors so we could hear conversations and their tv. The view of the ocean is nice and despite being on PCH traffic noise was minimal."

10/10 Excellent
"I had a truly marvelous weekend at Montage Laguna Beach. From the moment I arrived, everything was exceptional; the beautiful grounds, immaculate property, wonderful staff, and outstanding restaurants. The entire resort has a feeling of elegance and tranquility that makes it very easy to relax and enjoy every moment. One of the highlights was dinner at Studio. The meal was amazing, but what made the evening especially memorable was the setting. Sitting there at sunset with an unobstructed view of the sun going down over the Pacific was absolutely spectacular. It was one of those experiences that stays with you. The Montage is a truly special resort, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an exceptional Southern California getaway. I had a wonderful stay and very much look forward to returning."
