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.

The Hotel Joaquin is a beautiful hotel in an ideal location. I appreciate the stylish rooms, particularly the spacious bathhouse style shower and tub. Our room, Thalia, did not have an ocean view, so if I was to book again, I would research which rooms have the views I would want.
