Amazing location and place to stay. Top of the line.

Our favorite spot is the jacuzzi. It could be kept cleaner. Food choices were too limited unless you were in the higher end restaurants which did not have an ocean view. Why aren’t they on the view side? That’s why you go to Laguna.

You can’t beat the views and amenities here. If you’re looking for quiet and relaxation this is not the place. Garden view rooms have the fire pits and also the multiple outdoor hosted events all week and weekend long. Constant set up outside your room blocking views and creating extra noise from sun up to sundown. Other room views are poolside, also quite noisy. I’d ask what corporate events and weddings will be outside your doorstep before booking.
Rooms are getting tired, carpet is dirty, drapes are soiled bathrooms are water stained.
Staff is EXCEPTIONAL! food choices are great.

The phones did not work , shower stripping working so leaked all over the bathroom floors and rug was dirty and outdated. Room was warm and I got rashes from Deb bugs or laundry detergent but it was unpleasant. I’ll definitely stay at the Montage moving forward

Property is lovely, the food however was not what we expected- the best food was in the outdoor dining venue,
The staff was not able to resolve an issue with the TV when we called it in three times. We had an another issue with the balcony door, the technician was helpful and was able to address the TV.

We had an amazing experience at this resort. The staff is very accommodating. Their hospitality was the best and will definitely come back. I did have a serious issue that i would like to address. After leaving my car with the valet, they somehow left the headlights on for hours that it drained my battery. Coincidently my daughter needed something from the car and thats how they noticed. They had to give it a jump start and i was able to use it the next day. If it wasnt that i needed something it would had a dead battery the next day at check-out. Im so disappointed this happened because it cause a huge inconvenience due to having to reprogram my fob key which cost me time and money. I dont think I would do valet again.

The staff by far is the most polite and had the willingness to assist us. It was very beauty and the fire pit/s'mores was a topper. I had an amazing experience. With that said, I’m offended I was charged $75 for overnight valet when I had no clue there was a cost associated with valet. They should be ashame for charging that amount. Plus $60 for resort fee. Other than that if you want to experience a high end luxury hotel, I recommend it. At least for a night.

Valet parking charges $70 a night they park your car outside in the hot sun. It gets dirty and it took 40 minutes to get to my car on Saturday evening. Very disorganized. Room service had to call 3 times to get our order.

I was disappointed with the valet parking staff. It seems unusual that nobody offered to help me with my suitcases when you checked out.

Juliette the manager was very supportive and hope she can make our next stay a better experience. The room was not clean and nothing spectacular comparing to the neighbour hotel with the same price.
8.0
Overall it was good. Just a few things that you don’t expect from this type of resort. First, there is no body lotion cream in the room, you have to request it to guess services.
Second, beds should have a duvet instead of blanket
Third, the 30 minutes chair policy in the pool is very annoying. If you go for an hour to the beach, staff disrespectfully remove your belongings from the chairs.
Last but not least, liquor type is very limited in the pool, for instance if you want Whiskey you have to get it from the bar.
2.0
I booked two rooms and paid extra for two beds through Expedia. When I arrived there weren't any available and had to beg to get them. Then they put me in a ADA that I didn’t need but had to take what I could get. It was also noisy with dogs barking and doing their business on the carpet halls of the hotel. The hostess at the restaurant was rude and bothered with us asking for a table.
8.0
Property staff at checking was rude. Gym was outdated. Pool area felt cheap. Rooms are small! Valet took 30 min to get car out multiple times. But on the positive, food here was amazing, views are amazing. Would not stay here but I’d definitely visit and dine!
