Dana Point, California, (April 6, 2010) – On April 30, Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort & Spa will unveil the modern reinvention of the quintessential ocean-side resort as the property completes its full-scale renovation. Transforming practically every aspect of the AAA Four Diamond resort, Laguna Cliffs Marriott has upgraded all 378 guest rooms, created a stunning new OverVue lounge, renovated 20,000 sq. ft. of meeting space and added additional spectacular swimming pool facilities.
Designed to encompass the epitome of the Southern California resort experience, Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort & Spa will unveil its newly redesigned property to guests and dignitaries on April 30, beginning with a procession of vintage surf “Woodies” courtesy of the South Coast Woodie Club; the iconic automobile that represents the timeless past of California beach culture will make a dramatic entrance, followed by a public ribbon cutting and a private reception.
“With this comprehensive renovation project we have successfully recreated the entire Laguna Cliffs experience allowing us to offer our guests unparalleled luxury at an incredible value,” said Jim Samuels, General Manager of Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort & Spa. “By making this investment during a challenging economic period, we bring to market dazzling new deliverables just at a time when consumer demand is increasing.”
The renovation project enhanced interior design, exterior structure and amenities of the resort. Laguna Cliffs Marriott completely refurbished its guest rooms, 20,000 sq. ft. of expanded indoor meeting and banquet facilities, added a new porte cochère entrance and marble lobby with waterfall. Aesthetic and functional improvements have been made to every one of the resort’s 378 rooms with luxurious, ocean-inspired furnishings, plush new floorings and sophisticated beach house décor with a variety of amenities from new LCD television sets to technological upgrades including faster Internet access. In addition, the award-winning restaurant VUE has been redesigned with contemporary furnishings and fresh décor and the new OverVue indoor/outdoor lounge and deck offers guests a relaxing and contemporary venue with stunning views of Dana Point and a dramatic water and fire feature.
Ocean-view pool areas have been upgraded with a new family pool with a Splash Zone, water cannons, surfboards under a water curl and other family-friendly amenities. Outdoor improvements include changes to the windows and roofing, and the addition of lush, eco-friendly landscaping including plants that are not only beautiful but also require little or no watering.
