Casa Laguna Hotel & Spa

It was lovely. The staff was kind and the breakfast was amazing.

Literally an oasis once you are inside.

Very little, our room could have used some more storage options and a trash can. Personally I prefer coffee making in my room, but the coffee supplied in the courtyard was superb and better quality so still a win.

The place is charming and I especially liked the tower where we watched a sunset. The included breakfast was also nice as was the pool. Beds were comfy; room and facilities were clean.

Booked this with absolutely no warning that it is not ADA compliant (presumably grandfathered in when ADA passed).There are irregular steps everywhere and absolutely no way to avoid them. It would be pretty impossible in a wheelchair and was difficult for me as an older person with bad knees. The hotel fashions itself as a beach locale and even provides nice beach bags, towels and would provide a packed lunch to go to the beach. However, the beach is really not very accessible. Since the hotel is on a very busy road, you have to walk several blocks to a crosswalk then once you cross, you must go down a really steep hill and then down some steps in order to get to the beach.. They say it's a 10-minute walk but keep in mind you're expected to tote a big bag with towels and lunch and whatever else you want at the beach. Though the ocean views are nice, beach access is cumbersome. I thought it was weird that an arugula salad and a charcuterie are both on the breakfast menu, though there are other more typical breakfast options and the breakfast was fine. I was not fond of the decor in general though the buildings all had their own charm despite that.

Wonderful on-site massage. Excellent, professional and relaxing service for individuals or couples. Breakfast was wonderful and provided a variety of options. Welcome drink and champagne with spa treatment was a nice touch.

Parking is challenging between the pillars below the historic building. Might be easier to take Ubers in and around town, particularly if celebrating, but that's liberating.
