Room, Partial Ocean View (Balcony)

Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort and Spa sits on a bluff above the Pacific near Dana Point Harbor, so you get a glimpse of the water rather than a full, uninterrupted panorama. It suits guests who want a sea outlook and outdoor space without paying for a more expansive view.

The room has 2 double beds and sleeps up to 4 guests in a 360 sq. ft. one-bedroom layout. Each bed has a pillowtop mattress, a down comforter, Egyptian cotton sheets and hypo-allergenic bedding. It works well for a family of four or two couples who don't mind sharing a compact room.
