Beach Resort Spa -The Blue Lantern Inn Dana Point, California

The Perfect Beach Resort Spa Vaction in Southern California

Laura Wrede
California is known as the "Golden State" due to its many sunny days year-round. As vacations are considered, California Beach resort spa destinations are often at the top of the list. Here you will find beach resorts Southern California style with miles of white sand hugging the shores of the cool blue waters of the Pacific Ocean.

Not only will you find beaches and sunshine, you will also discover surprisingly affordable prices at some of the best spas in the state. One such location is the Blue Lantern Inn in Dana Point, California. The Blue Lantern Inn is in the award winning Four Sisters collection. This is an intimate inn much like a five star hotel in Dana Point California without the sprawling size of typical chain resorts.

The Blue Lantern Inn sits high atop the cliffs overlooking Dana Point Harbor on a quiet side street. Its hidden location offers guests a relaxing place to enjoy the amazing and expansive views. Just out the front door of the Inn is a cliff-side gazebo complete with benches where you can sip a beverage and watch as the sun sets over the ocean in golds, reds, and orange.

When you are ready to book your reservation, check the website for special packages offered throughout the year (including a secret discount special called "Carpe Diem"). Choosing your room is easy as each one offers that "something extra" in views and amenities. Even the most affordable rooms will have a view of evening lights as boats ease into the Dana Point Harbor after a long day out in the crystal blue waters of the Pacific Ocean.

The food served at breakfast is hot and delicious. You can enjoy it in the downstairs dining room while reading the morning paper, or if you like for a small fee, the complimentary breakfast will be delivered right to your room in case you want to linger in the soft linens and piles of pillows for a delightful breakfast in bed.

If you desire to make this a trip of ultimate luxury, you can choose to stay in a Tower Room. The features of the Tower Room will allow you full views of the harbor and Pacific Ocean. The Tower Guestrooms feature:

--A King sized bed

--fireplace

--private patio deck with ocean views

--Complimentary chocolate and a bottle of champagne

--Refrigerator stocked with complimentary beverages

--Coffee Maker in the room

--Large bath with shower and separate oversized jetted-spa tub

--Two luxuriously soft spa robes

Add a visit to the spa to complete your indulgence. The Sanctuary Spa located on the property offers everything from reflexology foot massage to ease tired aching feet (available in-room), a unique and rejuvenating Pumpkin Enzyme Facial, 60 minute massage...or you can have it all- just ask for the "Royal Indulgence Massage and Facial Combined".

After spending a day walking around the harbor and shopping in the quaint Dana Point Village, come back to the inn for a late afternoon of wine and cheese before heading out to one of the local favorite restaurants. Lynn, one of the delightful innkeepers, will be happy to assist you with making a reservation at two of the best restaurants in town: The Chart House and Lucianas.

Lynn has an amazing way of getting you "in" even when the restaurants are booked. The Blue Lantern Inn's staff offer many personal touches and service that are five star. Whatever you need, they is there to accommodate you, as they try to make you feel right at home. You will be offered an evening turn-down complete with a Le Belge chocolate, fresh-baked cookies, movies, books, games, toiletry items...they even have beach cruiser bikes you can take out for an enjoyable ride around the town and harbor.
