Top South Day Use Beach Hotel Reviews

Dana Point Marina Inn

8/10 Good

"Room was ok. Dana Point area is totally being remodeled. Hotel is right next to construction and is scheduled to be torn down in early 2027 so not much is being done to maintain hotel. However, with that said the hotel was okay to stay in. Everything worked but was old."

Beachfront Inn and Suites at Dana Point

10/10 Excellent

"Location, kitchenette, separate bedroom,price"

Hilton Vacation Club Riviera Beach & Shores

10/10 Excellent

"Our 4 night stay was just as we expected. Our room faced the street and we had a clear view of the ocean from our room inside and on the balcony. The staff were very professional and helpful along with the concierges. I would definitely come back again. The location was ideal for restaurants, beach and trolley to tour the area."

Best Western Plus Marina Shores Hotel

"I can’t say enough about how beautiful this property is and the attention to detail for any guest’s needs. I hope we have the opportunity to use this property again. The only thing that was missing was beach access but I think that will change in the not too distant future."

Stunning Ocean Front Luxury Home - Sleeps 12

10/10 Excellent

"Great experience! Plenty of room for everyone. We saw sea lions from the master bedroom. There wasn't any beach in front of the house while we were there but just the sound of the sea satisfied us. One night , the smoke alarm started chirping and by the next morning, they were at the property putting a new one up. We will stay here again."
