If you desire a beautiful resort located right on the beach, look no further, the Surf and Sand Resort in Laguna Beach, California, sits oceanfront with the most amazing view of the ocean from your balcony. This vacation getaway is on our "must go" list at least three times a year! The resort is the home of the phenomenal Splashes restaurant and bar where you can sit viewing the crashing ocean waves while enjoying splendid food and drinks. It's perfect whether you want a snack or a full course meal, you will be impressed! Pacific Perk boasts delicious lattes along with a variety of wonderful food selections to start your day. 1555 is also a great option for food and drink! The resort has a wonderful gift shop with an excellent selection; I always return home with many purchases. The spa is beautiful for a relaxing massage or facial and they also have nail services if you desire a beautiful mani-pedi. With all of this splendor, you will truly be in paradise; this along with their unbelievably gracious staff, makes this a must for a dream vacation retreat!

Great hotel and great staff! The only negative about this hotel is the air conditioning and the bathrooms which are small and need to be updated! The Spa is new and beautiful and everyone who works there is very polite and helpful. The music at the hotel is great and on weekends the guitar player was very entertaining! We really enjoyed the music!

Room tip: Need air conditioning and updated Bathrooms!

Read some reviews of hotels in the surrounding area and Surf & Sand Resort caught my eye. I'm glad I chose this hotel because my stay there was nice and relaxing. I enjoyed the view, the staff was friendly and helpful with any questions I might have had and the room was nice and clean. Which to me, those things are very important. Great first-time experience and I would definitely go back. The only downfall, I wish I could have stayed two more days since I was only there for the weekend.

We have been coming to Surf & Sand Resort for 30 years for our girl's annual getaway vacation weekend. It's our favorite beach resort. The staff is welcoming, friendly, helpful and always welcomes us back each year. We love it here!!!!

Room tip: Rooms overlooking the ocean are the best!

I can't say enough about this amazing hotel. The staff was so friendly and welcoming. I really actually felt important. My husband and got couples massages at their amazing spa. We absolutely loved Splashes, which is their beautiful oceanfront restaurant. Everything we ordered was awesome but the scallops were to die for! This was my first trip here and I can't wait to return. We're thinking of making this our annual trip. If you're looking for a nice romantic weekend with your special someone this is THE spot.
