Quick Verdict: Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort and Spa vs Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach Resort and Spa

When Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort and Spa wins: pick Laguna Cliffs if you want a quieter blufftop setting near Dana Point Harbor and Doheny State Beach, a substantial on-site spa (14,000 sq ft) and family-friendly pool options without being directly on a busy public beach.
