Dana Point, California
Our readers say: Perched on a "gorgeous seaside bluff" between Los Angeles and San Diego, this Mediterranean-inspired four-story hotel has fountains and French doors that open onto private terraces. "I felt as if we were in the tropics." Rooms have walk-in closets and are decorated in sea and sand tones. "Service was unmatched." Raya serves pan-Latin coastal cuisine that focuses on sustainable seafood, local produce, and organic meat; the tasting room, Eno, provides selections of wine, cheese, and chocolate. "The views from this property are beautiful, and the grounds are perfectly maintained."
