A true oasis, truly zen. Magnificent breakfast and while no restaurant, they do offer outstanding snacks and pizza for lunch. The pool is a great size for swimming and fantastic loungers. My family hails from Laguna and this place feels like the hotel designed to give you the locals vibe. Rooms are so delightful. Gorgeous boutique hotel. Try it.

Had a wonderful stay cation here at the charming hotel. The heated pool and area with palm trees is like you are staying at a friends home but with nice drinks and fresh towels. Lovely breakfast is included w nice strong coffee. Everything feels like a European- California blend. Perfect.

The Hotel Joaquin is a beautiful hotel in an ideal location. I appreciate the stylish rooms, particularly the spacious bathhouse style shower and tub. Our room, Thalia, did not have an ocean view, so if I was to book again, I would research which rooms have the views I would want.

Loved the room decor and cleanliness. Went to the hotel bar twice. They had great drinks and great service but the second night we heard the guests above us stomping around in the middle of the night and we could hear them talking. Not sure how thick the walls are.

Hotel has just undergone a management transition. New front desk staff were very helpful. Rooms and grounds are all in good condition. I paid more for a deluxe king room and it was smaller (no couch) than the regular king room my friends got. But I was on the top floor with a bit of an ocean view. My room door was glass and one wall was all windows facing a common walkway. The room needs better lighting as it was fairly dark. Mattress and bedding were very comfortable. Towels were thick and water pressure and temperature were fine. Pool area was well maintained with plenty of towels. The hotel advertises as adults only but there were young children at the pool.
