Overall we had a good experience. Here's a quick breakdown: • excellent customer service (Hazel was very helpful at the front desk and Jose in the restaurant gave fantastic recommendations) • granted early check-in and a room upgrade (to partial harbour view) and $45 resort credit due to Expedia status, which was lovely – my only concern is that I have noise sensitivities and we were placed not far from an electrical room that could be both heard and felt in our room. We inquired about moving later in the day, but the front desk person suggested we might not be comfortable in a different room due to street noise (neighborhood facing), so we opted to stay. At least the view was pretty. :) • the property is just lovely, but for a $40 taxes resort fee we were disappointed that the pool and pool courtyard were both closed. Guests are given access to the members pool (the hotel is a multi-use facility and must include condo owners as well), but it has a different feeling from the courtyard area/pool, so we didn't make use of it. • $50 tax for a rollaway bed to be added to the room felt steep, but the bed was comfortable (for our 13-year-old) Highly recommend Malibu Farm if you're looking for somewhere farm-to-table to eat. Beautiful food, service and environment Laguna Beach was a favourite in terms of beach options, with a more "tropical" feeling (vs. Huntington).
