Fodor's Expert Review Montage Laguna Beach

Built on a picturesque coastal bluff above the Pacific Ocean and Treasure Island Beach, this elegant Craftsmen-style resort features 30 acres of grassy lawns, soft sand beaches, and a marine sanctuary. Decorated in soft coastal colors, guest rooms, suites, and cottages balance ease and refinement. Every room has an ocean view from its patio or balcony, and an extra-deep bathtub. Of the restaurants, Studio offers fine dining among sweeping panoramic ocean views and a refined California-inspired contemporary menu. At the 20,000-square-foot oceanfront spa and fitness center, you can indulge in a soothing massage, take an outdoor morning yoga class, or swim in the ocean-facing lap pool. The main mosaic tiled swimming pool is stunning and offers plenty of lounge chairs and umbrellas.
