This hotel is on a very busy and noisy road. Half of the “best” rooms in the photos appear to be looking at the ocean. In fact they are directly above and looking at the busiest Main Street in town with tons of traffic. Don’t be fooled by the photos. The views are not what the eye sees. The rooms are average. We arrived at 530 and the room was still not ready and cleaned. We were given a key and told the room is ready. Suprise! The man at the front desk was terrific and immediately issues us a refund and we departed. Can’t handle being on top of noisy street when I came to relax in a beautiful seaside town.

The Mara at Laguna Beavh has been beautifully remodeled. We had a great stay this week! We walked across the street to the beach and could easily catch the trolley for free to go downtown! The staff was amazing and the view from the rooftop was fabulous!
