10/10 Exceptional

This was our third time staying at Hotel Joaquin this year and we can’t wait to go back! The hotel rooms are cozy, the views are amazing, the staff is great, and the location is perfect. The hotel is just far enough away from Main Beach to avoid the craziness, but close enough to walk down there whenever you want. One of the best things about Joaquin though is how close it is to Shaw’s Cove! We enjoyed going down there for a swim and some sun every day and then hanging out by the hotel pool. Seriously the best hotel in Laguna Beach!

This boutique hotel is one of the highlights of our trip. It was filled with character, had incredibly friendly staff, and everything was so well thought out, making for just a wonderfully memorable experience. We'll definitely be back. I couldn't recommend this hotel more.

The location and offerings here are essential. Shaw’s Cove feels like a hidden gem and having access right there is ideal! The cozy breakfast view is delightful and they have great coffee. Staff is very friendly and the bar access is low key and exactly what is needed. Perfect for a romantic getaway!

6/10 Good

the hotel is right on highway 1 so the rooms can get quite loud but for the most part, its ok, the beds were comfortable and the staff good. no in room kettles and even if you pay for the most expensive room, you will hear the highway. the yoga deck also has a lot of road noise and no yoga blocks.

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.
