"Set amid sweeping Pacific vistas, this coastal property emphasizes nature-based family programming through its Eco-Adventure Center, which coordinates whale-watching, surf lessons, oceanfront golf, e-bike tours, and beach yoga. The kid-focused Ritz Kids program complements these adventures with nature hikes, animal yoga, arts and crafts, and even hands-on activities like squid dissection." - AFAR

"The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel is one of Southern California’s most striking hospitality destinations. The property hugs the cliffs above Dana Point, its lobby-level restaurant featuring floor-to-ceiling glass windows that overlook winding pathways down to a sandy beach and the endless horizon of the Pacific Ocean. It’s an idyllic, and expensive, getaway for Angelenos, Orange County locals, tourists, and anyone else eager for a night out with a view. But the hotel is also home to one of the area’s best-kept culinary secrets, a rising star Indian chef who has quietly become one of the most in-demand cooks for weddings, Diwali celebrations, and other Indian American events and festivals." - Nandita Godbole
"Perched on a "gorgeous seaside bluff" between Los Angeles and San Diego, this Mediterranean-inspired four-story hotel has fountains and French doors that open onto private terraces. "I felt as if we were in the tropics." Rooms have walk-in closets and are decorated in sea and sand tones. "Service was unmatched." Raya serves pan-Latin coastal cuisine that focuses on sustainable seafood, local produce, and organic meat; EnoSteak serves prime and grass-fed, pasture-raised beef and organic produce. "The views from this property are beautiful, and the grounds are perfectly maintained."
"The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel is hosting its next Culinary Cookout on the Coast on Friday, August 26, with food from postmaster Daniel Castillo of nearby Heritage Barbecue." - Farley Elliott
