Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel Review
Take Ritz-Carlton's top-tier level of service coupled with an unparalleled view of the Pacific and you're in the lap of complete luxury at this oceanside resort. Rooms are well-appointed and tricked out with oversize plasma TVs, private balconies, and posh marble bathrooms. Splurge for the Club Level where the list of included extra amenities is exhaustingly long. Ocean view rooms are worth the expense. Book a massage at the cozy spa to jumpstart a relaxing stay. Enjoy the panoramic views at Raya, where the focus is on Latin American coastal cuisine, or bone up on your wine knowledge at enoSTEAK, the property's steakhouse. Guests can leisurely stroll down perfectly manicured trails to the popular white-sand beach.
