Hotel Joaquin

A very quaint and special hotel. Felt like you were transported back in time. Should be more well-known than it is, definitely a hidden gem.

such a good staff really feels like you are in someone’s home vs a hotel

This hotel is one I regularly visit from Los Angeles as a solo traveler. It’s truly a special little sanctuary and I haven’t yet found another place like it. It’s such a great spot to relax in, to feed your soul, and to take in all the beauty of Laguna. The property and staff are incredible and always make it feel like a cozy home they’re welcoming you into. From the quiet but carefully curated rooms to the breathtaking ocean views to the salt water pool and record players humming in the background, you’ll feel the magic of its vibe throughout and it’ll leave a lasting impression on your heart. This is a place you must experience once to truly understand its impact.

Not it. They have some work to do. With lightbulbs out, no option to open the only window (unless you want everyone to see in your room that walks by), no TV, exposed waterlines in the shower and rust it’s a miss. I wanted this place to be nice- truly. But I left a day early it was not relaxing or even nice enough to stay with all these flaws.

Incredible stay, it exceeded our expectations, everything was better than the photos, which isn't common! The staff was 10/10

Awesome location 1 block to beach access, great drinks at the bar at a good price, comfy rooms with a good vibe and ocean views

Rooms were very nicely updated, felt totally brand new. Loved the bathroom tile, decor & colour choice , great design! The keys were cute, the bed was extremely comfortable , welcome drink is a nice touch. Balcony area is nice with a table and chairs to enjoy the morning outside. Property is very nicely maintained & gorgeous. Pool is warm & very chic. Great beds & chairs around the pool & liked the different levels. Owners were very nice, staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Lastly we loved the cookies at the bar at night !

The staff was friendly, the room was clean but we had to ask the front desk for toilet paper. The room itself and bed was nice. Nice for an older property, with a clean pool.

Beautiful little property with an amazing staff and steps from the beach. We will be back!

A true oasis, truly zen. Magnificent breakfast and while no restaurant, they do offer outstanding snacks and pizza for lunch. The pool is a great size for swimming and fantastic loungers. My family hails from Laguna and this place feels like the hotel designed to give you the locals vibe. Rooms are so delightful. Gorgeous boutique hotel. Try it.

Great!

I would absolutely book here again in a heartbeat. However, I did notice some mildew around the bathroom sink area (near the bottle on the far left) and on the shower door. It was visible and had a noticeable odor. I should mention that I work in real estate/property management, so I tend to notice small maintenance details that others might overlook. One last minor note: I found the door handle and key a little difficult to operate at first. Once I figured it out, it wasn't a problem, but a slightly easier mechanism would be a nice improvement. Overall, I had a wonderful stay and would happily return.

Great location

Nice rooms, ocean view, walking distance from the beach

Could not believe how much charm every corner of this venue had. My wife and I spent 2 nights here and were sad we didnt book at least 5 more! great location and Shaws cove just 3 minute walk away is arguably one of the most scenic spots on the whole CA coastline. cant recommend more

I was here for 4 nights and I absolutely LOVED my experience!! I felt at home the second I came in. Staff was extremely friendly and was above and beyond. Nothing more that I could ask for. Beautiful property, heated pool, great breakfast, nice rooms, Salt and Stone toiletries,great bathrooms too. Walking distances to great restaurants and beaches. The ONLY thing I was sad to hear is that it’s an adult only hotel. So, I can’t bring my grandson. But I myself will DEFINITELY be back!

The bar and staff and hotel were overall great, but you don't get to choose the location of your room and if you get stuck on the street side it's very loud throughout the night. Wish it came with ear plugs.

breakfast was included which was a nice surprise, the records in the room were charming, and the resort was very well maintained and in a perfect area of Laguna Beach. Can’t wait to return!

Charming boutique hotel in north Laguna Beach. Steps away from a hidden beach. Very quiet. Staff is excellent and so helpful. You feel a world away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Great weekend getaway from LA!

Beautiful hotel, great location and the staff is amazingly friendly and helpful.
