Great property 5 out of 5 in every aspect. Although there was a wedding the weekend I stayed. While checking in they assigned me a pool view room which I initially thought was an upgrade from the resort view room I had booked that had a patio. When I seen the “pool view” I was very unimpressed with the trade off. Not much of a view and there was no patio which would have been nice to sit out on in the evening to soak in the ocean breeze.

The view of the ocean on this property is beautiful. Parking was extremely overpriced and you could only valet park on property for $46 per night. There is no overnight parking allowed outside of the property so you have no choice but to pay for valet. They really need to invest in NEW beds/mattresses for their rooms. The 4 in our group woke up so sore from the mattress springs. They think that placing a quilted mattress pad on top will make the bed cushiony, sadly it does not. Don't bother with the $19 continental breakfast, you'll get better quality food if you walk downhill to the surrounding restaurants. However, the dinner at the Outer Reef restaurant on the property was amazing and definitely worth the experience.

Honestly the room could have been better cleaned - the floor was grubby/gritty when we went in on day 1. The trash in the room wasn't emptied when the room was done after our first night's stay. The cushion on the bed was lying against the wall on the floor when the room was done after the first night's stay. Not brilliant. We had breakfast on Sunday and the table wasn't cleaned properly before we were guided to it either - there was syrup smeared in to the table that had not been cleaned properly.

Ants in our room, no refund afforded

Before we arrived, we called in about 1.5 hrs prior and requested that our room have a mini fridge so that we could store our 4 month old's milk therein. We did not received said fridge until about 1.5 hrs AFTER we arrived. Essentially it took the hotel 3 hours to bring up a 20lbs fridge to our room. Nonetheless, we tried to make the best of it.....Our room had an army trail of ANTS, however it was too late in the day to make a big fuss about it. My two year old kept waking up at night thinking he has ants on him. I brought this to the attention of the hotel staff the following day, they moved us to another room immediately. Upon check out, I explained our not so amazing experience to the front desk, the stated that ALL they could do was waive the resort fee ($37) for our first night in the ant infested room. I dropped $2,000 in 2 nights at this hotel, so that I would not have to deal with this. The location is beautiful, the customer service is unbecoming of a 4+ star hotel. I will not return nor will I recommend to friends and family. (videos of the ants are available upon request)

Please accept our sincere apologies for the unfortunate ant issue you described. As I’m sure you are aware, we take great pride in providing a high level of service and quality to our guests and you can be assured that this is not our standard. Ecolab was contacted immediately to address the issue accordingly. Usually we receive many fine compliments from our guests and we hope you will look upon this incident as an exception and not the rule.

Wonderful Stay

Pros: The staff is exemplary. The views are stunning, and the rooms are immaculate.
Cons: Coordinate the menus. Better communication with bell desk.
Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort and Spa provided for a wonderful stay. Rooms were comfortable, staff was great. Had a little issue with the bell desk, but that was taken care of, and then some. They went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable. The menus between the The Vue (restaurant), The Overview (Lounge), and in room dining should be coordinated a little better. Late in our stay we we found you could get full menu in each. We also eventually got used to the daily alarms that caused all the doors to shut. I surmised this was due to a renovation being done in one of the other wings. Not really much of an inconvenience though. In all, it was an extremely enjoyable stay.

Not the best experience.

The hotel staff was not very nice, they kept staring at us like we didn't belong there, but we were paying customers. They charge you $37 just to park for one night, that's a bit much if you ask me, I don't think I'll be staying here again.
