The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel

Spectacular views, superlative service, incredible rooms. The main pool was under construction during our stay, so some amenities weren’t available; the secondary pool is a bit small and less sunny, but still lush and comfortable. Direct access to an expansive public beach that wasn’t particularly crowded (yet—we were ahead of peak season). House restaurant, Raya, is a wonderful place for breakfast or lunch to enjoy forever ocean views and sunset; but dinner menu is top notch as well. Pricey (especially in peak season) and caters to a business clientele, but easily a top contender for a romantic weekend or special occasion.

Wonderful stay here...the ocean views are amazing. Nice balconies...try to get a corner room with views in both directions. The sunsets themselves are worth the price of admission! Staff and service were top notch. Food was excellent, including the wonderful options at the Ritz Club (highly recommended, staff there really tries to go out of their way to accommodate). We never left the property. Thank you to the Team for everything!

We decided to celebrate our wedding anniversary at the Ritz Carlton to enjoy the beautiful coastline. The hotel is beautiful and the location offers incredible views. We were lucky that we got to enjoy a beautiful sunny day with a drop dead gorgeous sunset from our oceanfront room! The real reason I am taking the time to write this review is to give credit where it is due. I want to thank the staff for turning what started out as a bad day for me into an amazing day. From the moment we pulled up into valet parking, we were greeted with smiles and kindness from employees who made it clear that we chose the right hotel. At the front desk we were greeted by Camille who checked us into our room. She went above and beyond to make us feel special for our anniversary. I told her I had a rough start to our day but her kindness and exceptional customer service skills truly was a blessing. She offered us wine, complimentary aroma packs and upgraded our room. When we walked into our room we were grateful to God for how the staff at this hotel made me forget about the rough start to our day. The servers at 180blu were polite and attentive as well. It was the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the ocean breeze with a great meal. Thank you so much for the experience! Your employees are the best!

We had the most fabulous night out with friends who were in town from Nashville. The view is amazing and our server Keri H was the best in town. She was friendly, made amazing recommendations and treated us like royalty. Thank you Keri for making our night amazing! 5 stars for all!

I Celebrated my Birthday on the 17th of January at the Ritz-Carlton... I had a memorable Experience. Enjoying the Breathtaking views of the Ocean at the Raya Restaurant, a beautiful Sunset; excellent service by our Server Summer. I also enjoyed the exceptional, personalized service from Randi B. and Keri H. And I want to mention too a kind and beautiful soul, a wonder woman, quite experienced as a Bartender, who was there that night (... -my apologies, I don't recall her name ), but if she reads this Review, she'll know is her. The Ritz-Carlton continues to live to its HIGH STANDARDS, hiring caring staff, who know how to remain professional yet, genuinely caring for their customers. Every member of their staff were kind and attentive. Well done! -Visiting again.
