I have stayed in Laguna many times, but this was my first stay at Arabella. I booked the smallest studio, which was cozy, comfortable, and just perfect for me. Having a kitchen was so wonderful! It had everything I needed, and Pavilions market is just down the street. So much nicer that having to eat out the entire time. :) The garden is lovely and inviting, and it was quiet and peaceful during my stay. I never encountered management while I was there, but parking and checking in/out instructions were clear and easy. I look forward to my next stay at Arabella.
