You can not beat the view of the Surf and Sand Hotel situated on the beach with a panoramic view of the ocean. The pool, resturant and bar area are located feet from sand and the Pacific Ocean. Attention to detail, cleanliness and a professional staff made this one of the best hotel experiences we ever had.

Great hotel with awesome staff. Best in Laguna Beach.their restaurant ,Splashes, is like dining on the beach. the rooms are well appointed and the hotel is pet friendly. It is a long walk or short car ride into the center of town but there are shops and restaurants close by if you don't want to go into town

I absolutely love the Surf and Sand. It is an extremely nice luxury hotel without the pretension. It is as comfortable as it is luxurious. It's right on the beach, it has a phenomenal outside pool with really attentive bar staff, direct access to the beach, and all rooms are ocean facing. And the rooms themselves are designed beautifully; they... More

I stay here once every few months and have always been pleased. The views are amazing, Splashes is great for breakfast, the staff is courteous and really take care of all your needs. I let them know I was celebrating being single and they sent me chocolates and champagne. I received the same on my return visit months later, plus... More

We asked for a quiet room and they put us below a live band who are currently doing a drum solo/Tom Tom thing. When we called the desk about the noise, they said they would send security over. A huge company is having a leadership convention here. Of course they did not shut it down. We've paid close to $700-... More

Location and setting beautiful. We really enjoyed ourselves, however, last night we had an annoying clicking sound from the electrical in our bathroom. We told the front desk and she said "oh I am so sorry" that was it. Not a great way to leave our local stay.

Our stay at Surf and Sand Resort was absolutely amazing. The hotels location in Laguna is walking distance to restaurants and shopping ( if you decide to even leave the hotel) . The valet services were so accommodating upon check-in and Jeff delivered our luggage before we even made it to our room. All of the rooms have ocean views... More

If you ever come to the surf & sand, make sure they don't give you room 453. It's the worst hotel room I've ever stayed in. It's above a kitchen and smells like food, It has no lights in the ceiling and no lamp near the desk, I'm sitting at a dark table writing on my lap top which is... More
