My stay at the Marriott Laguna Hills was fantastic with friendly staff and a beautiful setting for families. The pools catered well to kids with great amenities, but there were a couple of minor issues, like the unbolted safe in the room. The service was superb, and overall, it was a delightful experience for our family.

Our stay at the hotel was absolutely delightful! The views of the ocean were simply stunning, and the location made it easy to explore nearby beaches and restaurants. The room was spacious and had a modern feel, but the noise from events nearby could be a bit distracting. Dining was a highlight with an amazing buffet breakfast, though I wish there were even more options for casual dining later in the day. Overall, this hotel has so much to offer for a relaxing getaway!

Our stay was quite enjoyable overall with a beautiful resort that is very kid-friendly, making it perfect for families. The kids pool was a huge hit with our little one, and the breakfast buffet was delicious with plenty of options. However, we were disappointed with the limited dining menu available, especially for in-room dining, which could use more variety to cater to families with young children.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel with its beautiful harbor views and comfortable amenities. The staff was incredibly attentive, making sure I had everything I needed throughout my visit. However, the dining experience left something to be desired, especially with the long wait for a table. The location is fantastic, being close to the beach and various activities. Overall, it was a pleasant experience but there's room for improvement in certain areas.
