5 Stars – A Perfect Getaway! I had an amazing stay at the Sand and Surf Hotel! From the moment I arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. Everyone was incredibly friendly, professional, and always ready to help with a smile. The atmosphere was relaxed and inviting, and the hotel itself was clean, comfortable, and beautifully located. Whether it was enjoying the beach, relaxing in my room, or interacting with the team, everything about my stay was just perfect. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend Sand and Surf to anyone looking for a great place to unwind.

A Slice of Paradise at Surf & Sand Laguna From the moment you step onto the property, Surf & Sand Laguna wraps you in the kind of coastal magic only Laguna Beach can offer. The sound of crashing waves greets you the second you check in—because yes, the beach is truly right there. It’s like waking up inside a dream, where every room has a front-row seat to the Pacific Ocean. Surf & Sand is more than a resort—it’s a soulful escape where we as a family can slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with the beauty of nature. We have returned countless times being such a quick drive from LA and will continue to keep coming back.

I have returned to the Surf&Sand over many years. The Service is always impeccable, personable, professional and gracious. From Kit & Allie who greeted us at reception to lovely housekeeping and room service staff, spa and restaurant. The makeover of the spa is not complete, however we received excellent massage services in our room overlooking the beautiful ocean and coastline. We stayed in a King studio oceanfront on the top floor and highly recommend. Beautifully appointed recently renovated. I wish we could've stayed forever.

I expected a seamless and accommodating experience from a luxury hotel, but unfortunately, my recent stay fell short. On February 15, the morning after Valentine’s Day, I made two polite requests to extend my checkout by just one hour—from 11 AM to 12 PM. Both times, the front desk refused, stating that the hotel was fully occupied and a new group was arriving at 1 PM. However, when I checked out at 11 AM, I mentioned this to the management team, and to my surprise, they apologized and said they could have easily extended my checkout by an hour. This contradiction was frustrating and highlighted poor communication between the staff. A luxury hotel should prioritize guest experience and consistency in service. Had the front desk been better trained or more customer-focused, this could have been avoided. While I appreciate the management’s apology, it doesn’t change the fact that my request—one that is quite common—was unnecessarily denied. I hope the hotel improves its front desk training and communication to ensure that all guests receive the level of service expected from a high-end establishment.
