Quick Verdict: Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort and Spa vs Marriott's Newport Coast Villas

When Laguna Cliffs wins: Choose Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort and Spa if you want full resort services (on-site spa, multiple restaurants and bars, kids' splash zone), large event space, and a blufftop location near Dana Point Harbor and Doheny State Beach.

Laguna Cliffs has several on-site dining venues plus seasonal poolside service.

  • Lantern's Edge is the signature California/Mediterranean restaurant serving breakfast, weekend brunch, and dinner.
  • Barrel & Brews offers a casual lounge setting with cocktails and light bites; Del Mar Pool has seasonal poolside dining.
