Hotel Review: Ritz Carlton Laguna Niguel, Dana Point, Orange County, California

What's the Curbappeal?

- A glamorous large resort

- Calm and soothing decor

- Gorgeous bedrooms: high-end mattresses (I had a great night’s sleep!); beautiful contemporary cabinetry; soothing choice of colours: shades of grey and cream

- Fantastic sea views (request rooms that have them!)

- Food was the only area for improvement: distinctly average Eggs Benedict at breakfast (cold and gloopy hollandaise sauce, and overall lacked much taste); cold burgers and fries ordered using poolside service.

With love,

Restaurant review: Circa 59, Riviera Palm Springs, Palm Springs, California

What's the Curbappeal?
- It's not a temple of calm but if you want it loud and in your face (the decor) this could be for you.
I have to say the food was distinctly average on our visit. My steak was cold and not too tasty. The serving staff were slow too. But then it was a slow night judging by the lack of fellow diners.

….as an aside, the hotels' website pictures make this restaurant, and the resort, look more high-end than it is…
