Not a cheap place to stay but - thanks to the recession- we got a great rate and for what we paid it was incredible. The staff were fantastic, the location great and the attention to detail unbeatable. Restaurants were very expensive and not that great, they were trying too hard to be creative. The grounds are spectacular and the... more

We spent the weekend here in August with our three teenage girls and our 3 nephews. In the past, we have stayed at the Ritz Carlton Laguna, but we were a little nervous to bring 6 kids there. I went off of reviews that I had read and booked at the Montage. What a perfect match! The Montage is the... more

I went with my spouse to the Montage for a convention. They really do have the wow effect with the open balcony showing off the large pool & the coast. Beautiful, is not the word for the grounds & the beach. Now the grips, when we arrived our room was not ready, no problem so we used the bellhop thinking... more

Valet parking attendants, front desk personnel, room service, housekeeping, restaurant waitstaff, the list goes on and on. Everyone working at Montage is cheerful, helpful and polite and obviously have been trained to provide the best of services to guests and visitors.... more

Beautiful, beautiful property with great services. And we used it all. The spa is wonderful but really the prices for treatments make you think twice about booking - but we did anyway. The big plus here is that you get to use the spa pool when booking a treatment- which means no kids. And there were A LOT of kids... more

We decided to stay at the hotel at the tail end of our honeymoon for a few nights. Overall the hotel is very nice. Everything is clean and orderly. The staff have been trained very consistently. So much so that it was somewhat humorous. Concierge was very helpful. A few things did bother me though: 1. unless you have a... more
