Capri Laguna on the Beach
Room, 1 King Bed, Fireplace, Beachfront | Terrace/patio
Capri Laguna on the Beach
3.0 star property
8.8 out of 10, Excellent, (1001)
"This hotel is good but frankly overpriced (like most everything here). It is right on the beach, but the latter is small, rocky, and disappears during high tide. Rooms are decent, and the facilities are OK. Warning - the poll is tiny and parking, while available, is very cramped and you may need to use the annex lot. The complimentary continental breakfast isn't anything to write home about. Staff are pleasant enough, though YMMV. "

"The hotel staff were friendly and easy to work with regarding a few needs I had during my stay. For the price I paid, the facilities themselves were fine. The real highlight was the amazing pool (which no one seemed to take advantage of except for me). The area surrounding the hotel includes a Taco Bell, McDonald's and Chipotle for quick, easy eats, and a lovely Chinese restaurant for a more traditional dining experience. There is also a 7-eleven across the street for more convenience needs. My...

"The view was from the room was absolutely amazing and you are walking distance to all the cool restaurants and shops. That made it all worth it. We had a great time. That said, the air conditioning and wi-fi don't work, they know they don't work, and they don't seem to care that they don't work. Luckily, neither really affected the trip for us too much, but you should be aware. But with the poor cell coverage, best this be an unplugged trip. "

"We enjoyed our visit. The place was nice and cozy. The location was in a gated community and convenient to all that the area had to offer. The online photos showed a gas fireplace (in use). We were unable to utilize that amenity. We were disappointed to say the least. Reason: We were told by the host that it was a safety hazard. Cleanliness on a scale of one to ten. 6 1/2. The beds were comfortable and most all the amenities were as described in the VRBO listing. It checked most all the boxes....
