Pasea + Treehouse Review

Reviewed By brittanyaE4488KV

I stayed at Pasea last weekend for a girls weekend and we absolutely loved it! We got food and drinks at Treehouse which we loved! Ellan G. was our server/bartender and was the best. He made sure our group had the best service and the drinks were phenomenal. Highly recommend!

Wonderful place for girlfriend getaway

The Capri Laguna was perfect for our girlfriend birthday celebration! I cannot say enough about the location-our room overlooked the beach and was breathtaking. It was wonderful falling asleep every night to the sound of the waves. It was within walking distance to downtown Laguna Beach, which was very convenient. And all the staff was very friendly and helpful. I can’t say enough about staying there and we’re talking about making it a tradition to return every year to celebrate our birthdays there.

Reviewed By Kanolds

The room was modern, clean, and comfortable. It was quiet especially at night and the staff was accomoding for early and late check-ins/check-outs. It is located close to the beach and downtown Seal Beach, a great bike ride! Parking was in a covered structure. Breakfast was not a buffet but simple enough for a family. Lobby was clean and appealing with beverage machine.

I just moved from NY and I’ve been hotel hopping the last week and a half waiting for my apartment to be ready. This place’s grounds are beautifully kept! The roses all around the property are absolutely beautiful. In addition, I love the filigree railings and gothic looking doors and light fixtures. The pool is great on a hot day with laundry access and a gym to boot! Can’t go wrong with a king bed and a continental breakfast! The front desk and housekeeping staff are aces. I’d tell my family to come stay here when they visit. Rooms are spacious and price is right!!!

One of my favorite hotels

Reviewed By L6045UVashleyb

I stayed here for a long weekend, coming from New York. The hotel was fantastic. From the spa to the pool to the beach club, I loved it all. The lobby, rooms, and amenities are all spectacular. It truly felt like a luxurious home away from home. The cafe in the lobby is awesome for morning lattes, pastries, and a quick bite for lunch. The beach club was an incredible experience, do their beach restaurant for lunch or dinner, great cocktails and food. At the spa I had the best facial and massage ever. I can’t recommend this hotel enough. It was great.

2-night stay

Reviewed By rubenortega621

In town for a few nights for a wedding event. The restaurant had delicious options and amazing drinks. Room Service was fast and responsive. Amazing views from the room we had, fell asleep to the ocean waves. Did order a late checkout online that the front desk had no idea about - so verify upon check in. Slight issue w a rowdy neighbor down stairs that could’ve been avoided w some speedier staff intervention - but that didn’t spoil the stay. Will stay again when in town. Highly recommend

Older hotel, but beautifully refurbished

Reviewed By I2013OZmarlenec

Very lovely hotel. The room was very clean (no carpets!) and had a mini fridge which we appreciated. It was on the first floor, close to the lobby, and we were impressed at how quiet our room was. It is close to the airport take off runway so there is a bit of jet noise during the day, but the John Wayne Airport shuts down to jet traffic every night, so there was no noise at night. I slept like a baby. The restaurant is nice also. We had several meals there and the waiters were polite and accommodating. You also had the option of eating indoors or in a gorgeous courtyard. We would be happy to visit this hotel again in the future.
