Pros:

Otelin konumu mükemmel, banyosu ve balkonları cok keyifli.. Kahvaltı menüsü her gün farklı seceneklerde ve cok yeterli.. Plajlara gitmek istediğinizde şemsiye, şezlong ve havlu veriyorlar. Otoparkı otelin yanında ve yeterli yer mevcut..

Cons:

Otelin konumu itibari ile manzara seyir terasının yanında ve burası geceleri biraz kalabalık ve gürültülü olabiliyor.

I checked out as soon as the sun came up.
Pros:

The staff was amazingly friendly. The ocean views beautiful from the lobby and the elevator.

Cons:

The room had a terrible odor, like stinky feet and the carpet was dirty/stained.
The towels did not smell good at all, didn’t smell clean nor did the pillows on the bed. That was an old musty, stinky smell.

Beautiful Bed and Breakfast, on a bluff overlooking the harbor of Dana Point. Very tranquil and peaceful.
Pros:

We loved our stay at the Blue Lanter. We were welcomed with a glass of champagne, and shortly after a beautiful wine and cheese hour. Our room was beautiful with a patio area over looking the ocean.
