My stay at the hotel was absolutely delightful! The views from my room were stunning, especially from the third floor, where I enjoyed my morning coffee on the balcony. The staff went out of their way to ensure everything was sanitized and clean, making me feel safe and comfortable during the pandemic. However, a little more silverware would have been helpful, as we did most of our dining in our unit. Overall, I had a wonderful experience, though I wished I could have more time to enjoy everything the hotel has to offer.

I had an interesting week despite the rainstorm, which was quite rare for this area. The view from our room during the storm was mesmerizing, and we loved enjoying the boat parade in Dana Point Harbor. The resort provides solid amenities like a pool and a hot tub, plus the staff was generally accommodating. However, parking could be a bit of a hassle with the one-car rule and fees for additional overnight guests. Overall, it's a great spot for privacy and relaxation.

I had a lovely week at this resort right across the street from Capistrano Beach. The location is perfect, with fantastic restaurants nearby and a relaxing atmosphere. The resort is small and intimate, making it easy to enjoy everything without feeling crowded. However, the pool area can get a bit noisy, which might not be ideal for everyone.

During my stay at Capistrano Surfside Inn, I was greeted with a wonderful ocean-facing room that enhanced my experience significantly. The spacious accommodations felt like a home away from home, making it a cozy place to unwind. However, I did notice some challenges with parking availability and the rocky beach access wasn't ideal for swimming. Overall, it was a great value, especially with the amenities available, though it’s essential to keep in mind potential parking issues.

I had a wonderful time at this quaint resort, perfectly situated across the street from the beach. The atmosphere was relaxing, and I appreciated having great restaurants nearby. While the amenities were sufficient for my needs, the room could use some updates, but it was comfortable nonetheless. I enjoyed the convenient hot tub and pool area, which offered a lovely view of the beach. Overall, a great spot for a beach getaway with a few areas needing improvement.
