The rooms also feature feather beds, luxurious
400-count Egyptian cotton sheets, 42-inch flat-screen
plasma televisions, wireless and hard-wired Internet
access, spacious and functional desks and full marble
bathrooms with exclusive European bath essentials.
If a multi-layered culinary experience is more to
your taste, there are plenty of choices from California
cuisine to fresh seafood.
One of the newest and most exciting offerings
is ENO, a wine, cheese and chocolate sensation.
There are flights and pairings from a selection of
over 500 wines, 50 international cheeses and chocolates from around the world. Locally sourced selections are available as well as newly introduced
organic flight, which includes organic cheeses and
wines from California vineyards.
Restaurant 162’—named for its location 162 feet
above sea level—offers award-winning food and a wall
of windows that provide optimal ocean viewing.
When you want to work off those calories, you’ll
find a well-equipped fitness facility with the most
stunning backdrops imaginable from a treadmill or
elliptical trainer.
Speaking of training, if you want to work on your
tennis game under the SoCal sun you can do so under the tutelage of former University of Minnesota star
Tom Brennan. The Minneapolis native has been their
head pro for the last nine years, and was recently named Head/Penn Pro of the Year.
If you prefer some more gentle pampering, the
Ritz-Carlton Spa “inspires renewal.” There are 12 treatment rooms in the recently renovated spa, including
an oversized treatment room perfect for couples’ massages as well as bridal parties. Two garden spa cabanas,
located on the bluff above the beach, are also available
for guests who wish to take their spa treatments outdoors to enjoy the sound of the crashing waves below.
And if you would like to be on the water instead
of merely next to it, you’ll want to consider the Whale
and Dophin Safari provided by Captain Dave’s, just
down the road from the resort at Dana Point Harbor.
Each winter, thousands of California Gray Whales leave the cold Arctic Sea and follow the coastline
to the warm, calm waters of Southern California and
Baja. This 5,000-mile migration brings much of the
pod right past Dana Point, where the whales can be
easily seen. The Ritz offers whale watching packages
from January to April.
So, whether you’re looking for a whale of a vacation or just a quick weekend getaway, in my view,
you’ll never go wrong with The Ritz, particularly
this one.
