“Great stay with amazing service”

Oct 29, 2025MontyAbby

Stayed at the Ritz for 3 nights for a wedding. We got upgraded to Club level and everything was amazing. The club lounge service was over and above from the manager to the servers. Mercedes was so nice, I mentioned I had to check out at 4;30am and would miss breakfast , she offered and made me a amazing breakfast sandwich which she brought to my room so I could put it in the fridge for the morning. So thoughtful and over and above by the whole staff. Looking forward to our next visit !!

“The best of the BEST”

Oct 26, 2025Anna L

Lucas is the absolute best of the best. If you don’t have him as your valet guy, you’re missing out on the full experience. That guy knows what’s up. If you want the full experience, Lucas is involved. That guy needs a raise. Love Lucas! And the driver, zafir, he is AWESOME. They have the best staff ever - but specifically Lucas the valet and zafir the driver.

“Spectacular Views & Staff”

Oct 05, 2025Allison D

The Ritz Carlton Laguna Nigel met my very high expectations. The views are breathtaking. The renovation was well done. The rooms are stocked with great amenities. The grounds and common areas are also incredibly beautiful and well maintained. Having the beach butlers to help set up an area on the beach is a great feature. The Eco Adventures team helped to make our stay perfect. We went on a hike with Natalie and whale watching with Quinn. Their knowledge of the property, area, and animals was top-notch. I learned so much and had a great time. The food on property was excellent. If you are looking for a unique dining experience, I recommend Kahani. The curry sampler was delicious and allowed us to try a variety of curries. The staff is so kind and personable. I cannot wait to book a return trip.
