Our family just spent the weekend at The Ranch for our son's wedding, and all I can say is WOW. From the moment we arrived until the moment we left, we felt truly cared for. I hosted both the rehearsal dinner and welcome party at The Ranch, so I had been working with the events team for months leading up to the wedding. As any parent planning a wedding knows, there are a lot of moving pieces and plenty of opportunities for things to go wrong. Thankfully, that was never the case here. A huge thank you to Haley. She was incredible from start to finish. She was always responsive, answered every question I had, and helped make the planning process feel effortless. When we arrived at the property, she personally welcomed me and continued to check on me throughout the weekend. She genuinely cared that everything was exactly how I envisioned it. Chris was equally amazing. He checked on us throughout the rehearsal dinner, welcome party, and wedding day. It wasn't just good customer service—it felt like he was personally invested in making sure our family had the best possible experience. The front desk staff was exceptional as well. I wish I could remember their names because they deserve recognition. They greeted me by my first name when I arrived. They were warm and welcoming every time we interacted with them. The rehearsal dinner and welcome party were absolutely perfect. Every detail was handled beautifully. The staff constantly checked in with me to make sure everything was to my liking, and I never once had to track anyone down or worry about any issues. The service was incredible—even down to the staff placing napkins in our laps at dinner. It was clear that attention to detail is a priority at The Ranch. Housekeeping was top-notch. We arrived to find a bottle of champagne and a handwritten note waiting in our room, which was such a thoughtful touch. Throughout our stay, our room was attended to multiple times, and we were always stocked with fresh towels, water, and every amenity we could need. We truly felt spoiled. And then there is the property itself. It is absolutely beautiful. The wedding was picture-perfect, and the setting could not have been more stunning. Every corner of the property feels special. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how gorgeous everything was. What impressed me most was the consistency. Every single staff member we encountered seemed happy to be there and genuinely interested in making our stay memorable. That level of service is rare. As the mother of the groom, I can honestly say The Ranch helped make one of the most important weekends of our lives absolutely unforgettable. We made memories that will last a lifetime, and I am so grateful to everyone who played a part in making it so special. Thank you, Haley, Chris, and the entire team. You exceeded every expectation.

The location is great. It’s a hamlet nestled in bustling Laguna Beach. Great food. Golf was fun. I just get annoyed when I have to pay to park my car, when I’m paying $1,900/night for a suite. My only complaint.

Great place for a "staycation" to celebrate my birthday. Service and dining are excellent. The spa is small but the treatments are very good. Rooms are lovely and spacious. The whole property is so serene..and just a short walk to the beach. The only down side is that prices are very high in the restaurant.

Amazing stay nice live music and great staff

My stay at The Ranch at Laguna Beach felt completely different from a traditional resort experience in the best possible way. The property has a peaceful, tucked-away atmosphere while still being just a short walk from the ocean and some of Laguna Beach’s best spots. One of the coolest features is the safe underground tunnel that takes you beneath the road directly to the beach area. Once across, there’s a small beachfront spot for beers, drinks, and light bites that made for a perfect casual stop during the day. The location is excellent — you’re also within walking distance of Montage Laguna Beach, which makes it easy to explore the surrounding area while still returning to a much more quiet and natural environment at The Ranch. The property itself is spread across beautifully maintained grounds with multiple smaller lodging buildings rather than one massive hotel tower. Having around 10 or so rooms per building gives the resort a much more private and relaxed feel. There’s plenty to do on property as well. The Harvest restaurant was excellent, the golf course adds to the laid-back California atmosphere, and there’s also a spa, bocce ball courts, and a pool that all fit naturally into the setting without feeling overcrowded or overdeveloped. One thing that really stood out was the resort’s eco-conscious approach. You can tell sustainability and environmental awareness are genuinely part of how they operate and design the property rather than just marketing language. The entire resort blends naturally into the landscape and feels intentionally low-impact while still delivering a luxury experience. Overall, The Ranch at Laguna Beach is ideal if you want a more relaxed, nature-focused, and thoughtfully designed coastal getaway that still gives you easy access to the beach and nearby Laguna attractions.
