The Marriott property provides bicycle and surfboard rentals, bocce ball courts, and a putting green. Located within walking distance to Lantern Bay County Park, the resort offers direct access to Doheny State Beach and Dana Point Harbor.

“Laguna Cliffs Marriott sits perched above Dana Point, providing ocean views and multiple pools; it strikes me as a particularly solid choice for both couples seeking a getaway and families wanting a relaxed vacation. The dining, particularly at Outer Reef, seems a highlight, and I appreciate the hotel's eco-friendly focus, making it a place where luxury aligns with responsible practices. I think that its location near both the beach and the harbor enhances its appeal.”
