Beautiful view from oceanfront room, as pictured, sparkling clean room, helpful staff. Accessible to north Laguna from trolley and a mile walk otherwise. My only complaint was the lack of transparency for requested early check in. I would prefer a ‘no’ rather than we will see and call you.. I checked every 30 min for status. If i knew it would never happen then I would have made other plans during that time. Expectations matter.

We had a mixed experience for this being a 5 star property, and all just solely based on opinions. 1. First and foremost, the staff at every encounter were amazing (valet, front desk, restaurants, pool, boutique store). We were treated kindly and with utmost respect no matter who we encountered. 2. The ocean view room was amazing! The ocean truly came right up to the hotel and we could hear the waves while we slept.amazing and makes it all worth it! 3.The breakfast (and, again, staff) were amazing at the onsite restaurant. What was unfortunate, was if you made reservations, you would still wait behind others to be seated, and it would take a while to be greeted by your server. Sometimes over 15 min. 4.The daily room housekeeping and nightly turn down service was hit or miss. I would schedule it on their app. Or request via their dedicated text & only once happened without me having to ask several times. I’m a stickler for housekeeping each day. I want a clean room, with fresh amenities and don’t want to ask over and over and over. We only got the nightly turn down (part of fee paid to resort) once during our 4 night stay. we’d have to text in the morning for fresh towels, coffee etc. 5. The pools was pure chaos. This was due to inconsiderate guests and staff that didn’t enforce rules more. Chairs left unoccupied for hours while folks were down at the beach. Kids rinsng of sand in the hot tub, leaving it mucky. Kids running everywhere, eating in the pool, surfing in pool.

This was literally the best hotel that we've ever stayed at (which includes several Ritz and Four Seasons). When it says \"on the beach\", it's an understatement. We were on the first floor with the balcony feeling like we were over the water. The pool was also great, with the staff keeping up with lounge chair occupancy so nobody could \"squat\" all day without using it. The location in the town was amazing with an easy walk to breakfast each morning and dinner each evening (I'm sure that the hotel restaurants were nice, we just wanted to explore the town). The room was very nice and updated, with a big shower, huge separate tub, and double vanity sink.

Great newly renovated property. Rooms have spectacular ocean views and first class all the way. The amenities they offer are top notch and fitting of a five star resort. The service was top notch as well and meets the five star standard. The restaurant was excellent but only one on the property. There are many excellent dining options in the area though and things to do. Very walkable. It seems to be set up more for private romantic stays and doesn’t have much in terms of activities or amenities for kids. No statement about LBBTQ+ inclusivity on this properties website or others the JC Property ownership group has which concerns me being part of the LGBTQ+ community. True five star resort though.

We had the best time celebrating our 21st Anniversary and stayed 3 nights. The staff was beyond wonderful in every way. The bar and restaurant views were to die for and the oceanfront balcony of our room was the perfect backdrop for a relaxing stay. The coffee was excellent from the coffee shop each morning. The gym was perfect to get a quick workout in. The only negative was at the pool one day they allowed a non guest couple to come in and they were loud and changed the entire vibe of the pool day. It went from relaxing totally chill environment to we couldn’t wait to leave. The waiter, Jack at the pool was outstanding however. The bathroom in our room was a 10! You could see the ocean while you’re showering. Totally amazing. We will definitely return!

The Surf and Sand: Stunning Location, Disappointing Service
The Surf and Sand's oceanfront location is genuinely spectacular—the kind of view that justifies five-star pricing. Unfortunately, the service quality falls far short of the property's premium positioning.
Dining Issues: Our concierge recommended Splashes despite acknowledging recent reconstruction concerns, claiming they'd received no complaints. The reality was a severely limited menu with overpriced, overly rich dishes that didn't justify the cost. When we expressed concerns, no alternative dining options were suggested.
Cancelled Services: Multiple advertised amenities failed to materialize. Morning yoga and other scheduled activities were cancelled without advance notice. Most frustratingly, a spa facial appointment booked a month in advance was cancelled when the aesthetician simply didn't show up.
Billing Problems: Despite prepaying for our room, the hotel placed a $1,300 hold on our card for \"incidentals\"—an unusually high amount for a one-night stay. Additionally, the spa charged $148 for the cancelled facial service, and spa staff couldn't locate any record of the charge when we inquired.
Bottom Line: While the oceanfront setting is undeniably beautiful, the property's operational issues—from unreliable service to questionable billing practices—don't support its five-star reputation. The location alone isn't enough to justify the premium pricing when basic hospitality standards aren't met.

I had an amazing stay at the Sand and Surf Hotel! From the moment I arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. Everyone was incredibly friendly, professional, and always ready to help with a smile. The atmosphere was relaxed and inviting, and the hotel itself was clean, comfortable, and beautifully located. Whether it was enjoying the beach, relaxing in my room, or interacting with the team, everything about my stay was just perfect. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend Sand and Surf to anyone looking for a great place to unwind.

A Slice of Paradise at Surf & Sand Laguna

From the moment you step onto the property, Surf & Sand Laguna wraps you in the kind of coastal magic only Laguna Beach can offer. The sound of crashing waves greets you the second you check in—because yes, the beach is truly right there. It’s like waking up inside a dream, where every room has a front-row seat to the Pacific Ocean.

Surf & Sand is more than a resort—it’s a soulful escape where we as a family can slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with the beauty of nature. We have returned countless times being such a quick drive from LA and will continue to keep coming back.

I have returned to the Surf&Sand over many years. The Service is always impeccable, personable, professional and gracious. From Kit & Allie who greeted us at reception to lovely housekeeping and room service staff, spa and restaurant. The makeover of the spa is not complete, however we received excellent massage services in our room overlooking the beautiful ocean and coastline. We stayed in a King studio oceanfront on the top floor and highly recommend. Beautifully appointed recently renovated. I wish we could've stayed forever.

I expected a seamless and accommodating experience from a luxury hotel, but unfortunately, my recent stay fell short. On February 15, the morning after Valentine’s Day, I made two polite requests to extend my checkout by just one hour—from 11 AM to 12 PM. Both times, the front desk refused, stating that the hotel was fully occupied and a new group was arriving at 1 PM.

However, when I checked out at 11 AM, I mentioned this to the management team, and to my surprise, they apologized and said they could have easily extended my checkout by an hour. This contradiction was frustrating and highlighted poor communication between the staff.

A luxury hotel should prioritize guest experience and consistency in service. Had the front desk been better trained or more customer-focused, this could have been avoided. While I appreciate the management’s apology, it doesn’t change the fact that my request—one that is quite common—was unnecessarily denied.

I hope the hotel improves its front desk training and communication to ensure that all guests receive the level of service expected from a high-end establishment.

Great beautiful property. Only reason it’s not 5 stars is because half the property is undergoing renovations and the spa included.
