Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort & Spa - Dana Point

4-star oceanfront resort on the cliffs of Dana Point, with a celebrity chef restaurant and award-winning spa.

Rooms & Views

Each guest room at the Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort & Spa Dana Point has a flat-screen TV, a Bluetooth-compatible Tivoli radio, and plush robes. Ocean-view rooms look out over the Pacific from the resort's clifftop perch, 1 km from the beach and harbor. The $25 million renovation gave the rooms contemporary decor, and some open onto patios overlooking the pools.

Dining & Entertainment

The Outer Reef restaurant, run by celebrity chef John Tesar, serves coastal cuisine with ocean views from the dining room and outdoor lounge. Guests can also grab a snack at the coffee house on site, order breakfast in the room, or enjoy a glass of wine at the bar. Live music and performance nights happen on the property, and the hotel offers complimentary wine tasting for guests.

Wellness & Recreation

The full-service spa at Dana Point Marriott offers massages, facial treatments, body treatments, a steam room, a sauna, and a hot tub. The fitness center is open 24 hours with free weights, cardio machines with private TV monitors, and yoga classes. Outside, guests can use the pickleball court, rent bicycles or surfboards, and swim in one of the two year-round heated pools, including a children's splash zone.

Family & Pet-Friendly

Families staying at Laguna Cliffs resort have access to a kids' outdoor play area, board games, and a dedicated children's splash zone in one of the heated pools. The hotel provides pet bowls for dogs and soundproof rooms to keep noise contained. A minimarket on site sells snacks and souvenirs, and the concierge can arrange shuttle service to nearby attractions like Doheny State Beach and Dana Point Harbor.
