Rooms & Suites

Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort & Spa offers 378 guest rooms, all renovated with hardwood floors, 55-inch flat-screen TVs, and water-efficient rain showers. Select rooms feature balconies with ocean views. Executive Suites include separate living areas and private balconies overlooking the Pacific. All rooms come with Bluetooth-compatible Tivoli radios, custom robes, and linens.

Dining Options

The resort's signature restaurant, Outer Reef, serves dry-aged meats and seafood by James Beard-nominated Chef John Tesar. OverVue Lounge & Deck offers tapas-style bites and cocktails with panoramic ocean views. Poolside dining is available at Del Mar and Laguna Pools from June to September. Breakfast includes an expansive buffet with indoor-outdoor seating.

Leisure & Activities

Guests can use two heated outdoor pools, a children's splash zone, and a 24-hour fitness center. Recreational options include bicycle rentals, surfboard rentals, bocce ball, and walking trails. The Spa at Laguna Cliffs provides massages, facials, and organic skincare treatments using Eminence products. A steam room and hot tub are also available.

Location & Access

The resort is near Doheny State Beach, Dana Point Harbor, and Laguna Beach. It's 26 km from Irvine Transportation Center and 45 km from John Wayne Airport. Take the 405 Freeway South, merging into the 5 Freeway South, and exit at Pacific Coast Highway.

Services & Amenities

The resort has 50,000 sq ft of meeting space, including ocean-view venues for events. Eco-friendly initiatives include saline pools, recycled materials, and LEED-certified laundry. Mobile key entry, digital check-in, and 24-hour room service are available. The fitness center is open 24/7, and the spa operates daily from 9 AM to 5 PM.

“The resort's prime Dana Point Harbor location is its undeniable draw, placing guests steps from the beach and shops with truly spectacular ocean vistas, especially from the rooftop bar. While comfortable, the rooms themselves sometimes fall short of the property's ambitious setting, though the attentive staff and excellent pool service do much to elevate the stay. It's a place that excels in capturing a coastal getaway feel, making it a reliable choice for a relaxing escape.”
