My family just got back to the East Coast from the West Coast and Surf & Sand Resort. We all loved it.... there are lots of employees walking around wanting to help in any way they can.... one's every wish is made to come true, think chocolate-covered strawberries and champagne, beautiful sunsets, wonderful view, clean and quiet room (aside from... more

I had researched extensively the hotels in the Laguna area as I am very picky when it comes to cleanliness, food quality and resort location. I was really pleased on all levels with our stay at Surf and Sand. We were there in late July and while it did get a little warm some days, the breeze off the ocean... more

We were in the Laguna area August 10-12 for which we booked a premier deluxe ocean view king room . Upon opening the door to the room we were shocked at the temperature inside the room. Facing the west sun, (ocean view) the room was stifling hot on this particular 94 degree day. I called the front desk to inquire... more

From the start to the finish, this hotel is outstanding in every way. My best friend and I wanted a great place on the beach (and we've tried others at Laguna before) and this was it. All the staff has a "Yes" attitude which is what I need when I truly want to relax . . . no hassles at... more

Good beach resort. Ample, but not extensive, beach services and amenities. Definitely plan to return to Surf and Sand. Surf is loud! This was great for us, because the sound of the waves was one of the attractions to booking Surf & Sand Resort. All rooms in towers building have a balcony directly above beach, overlooking beach and waves perhaps... more

We've just returned from a fanatastic stay at this hotel. We had sea view rooms, and the rooms were unbeatable, really spacious and bright with fantastic views of the waves crashing, also saw several dolphins. We were a little worried beforehand by the tripadvisor reviews that said there was no a/c at the hotel, however, that was no problem at... more

1. Our room was not ready, so we decided to get some lunch down stairs and than we waited and waited still know room. Than when we inquired about our room, we were told that it would be ready in a few minutes, we continued to wait. Finally we were told that it would be ready in five minutes and... more

I stayed at the Surf and Sand for 4 nights. The property is very conveniently located within walking distance of most of the shops and restaurants in Laguna Beach (this is why we chose to say there). The decor is beachy and perhaps a bit dated in the hotel rooms (needed new carpeting, I thought). Our corner room was very... more

I went their with my boyfriend to celebrate his graduation. We purchased the 60th anniversary package where we received a 2 night stay, $60 credit to the spa or the restaurant Splashes, free breakfast, and daily gifts. We arrived early for R&R, the room was not ready so we waited about 4 hours by the water, that was a bummer,... more
