Location: Laguna shoreline vs Disneyland-adjacent Anaheim

Surf & Sand Laguna Beach – Location

Surf & Sand sits directly on the Laguna Beach shoreline, steps from Bluebird Beach and local galleries.

  • Private beach access and ocean views from every room
  • Walk to nearby tide pools, Heisler Park and Main Beach (about a 15–20 minute walk to Main Beach)
  • Good base for coastal day trips (Crystal Cove, Dana Point) and local art walking

Choose Surf & Sand if you want to spend time on the sand and in Laguna's gallery/arts district.

The Westin Anaheim Resort – Location

The Westin Anaheim Resort is centrally located for Disneyland and the Anaheim Convention Center.

  • Within a 15-minute walk of Anaheim Convention Center and Downtown Disney® District
  • Short drive to Anaheim GardenWalk and local venues like House of Blues
  • Preferred nearby airport is John Wayne Airport (SNA)

Choose The Westin for convenience to the parks, downtown Disney dining/shops and convention events.

Rooms: ocean-view rooms & private balconies vs large room inventory

Surf & Sand Laguna Beach – Rooms

Surf & Sand offers about 165–167 rooms, each designed around ocean views and private balconies.

  • Room types emphasize oceanfront and oceanview suites (Premium Oceanfront Studio, Oceanfront California Suite, etc.)
  • Many suites and a limited overall inventory create a smaller, more intimate property feel
  • No air conditioning in some rooms has been reported by guests—coastal breezes are part of the property experience

Surf & Sand is for travelers who prioritize ocean views and a smaller resort footprint.

The Westin Anaheim Resort – Rooms

The Westin Anaheim Resort offers a large range of room types across 618 rooms, including theme-park and resort views.

  • Many accessible room configurations (Hearing Accessible, Mobility Accessible, Theme Park View options)
  • Options that include sofa beds and balconies make it family- and group-friendly
  • Larger inventory suits groups, conventions and families needing multiple rooms

The Westin works better when you need many room options, accessible rooms or proximity-based views.

Dining & drinks: coastal tasting menus vs multiple on-site restaurants

Surf & Sand Laguna Beach – Dining & drinks

Dining at Surf & Sand centers on Splashes, an oceanfront coastal-California restaurant, plus several ocean-facing bars and a cafe.

  • Splashes serves breakfast, lunch and dinner with ocean views and accepts reservations
  • Splashes Bar and Bella Vista Terrace focus on cocktails and small plates with sunset views
  • Pacific Perk provides coffee, pastries and gelato steps from the beach

Pick Surf & Sand for oceanfront meals, sunset cocktails and a coastal restaurant experience.

The Westin Anaheim Resort – Dining & drinks

The Westin Anaheim Resort provides four on-site restaurants, a coffee shop/cafe and 24-hour room service.

  • Tangerine Room is one of the on-site dining venues (and the property lists four restaurants total)
  • Continental/vegetarian breakfast options available for a surcharge
  • 24-hour room service and an on-site coffee shop for grab-and-go needs

Choose The Westin if you want on-site dining variety and convenient room service near the parks.

Pools & beach or signature amenity

Surf & Sand Laguna Beach – Pools & beach or signature amenity

Surf & Sand’s signature amenity is its beachfront setting: a heated oceanfront pool, hot tub and direct access to the sand.

  • Oceanfront outdoor heated pool (reported around 84°F) and outdoor hot tub
  • Pool hours listed between 7:00–8:00 AM and 10:00 PM on various sources; day-pass access is available through third parties
  • Beach loungers, umbrellas and towels are provided via the resort fee

If swimming with an ocean view or stepping onto the sand from your room is your priority, Surf & Sand is the clear pick.

The Westin Anaheim Resort – Pools & beach or signature amenity

The Westin Anaheim Resort includes outdoor pool and hot tub facilities but no beachfront.

  • Outdoor pool and hot tub with posted pool hours (note: pool is available 6:00 AM–10:00 PM per property notes)
  • Poolside bar and pool access for families and park visitors
  • No direct beach access—this is an inland Anaheim property

Pick The Westin when pool amenities plus easy park access are important, not beach time.

Wellness & nightlife: spa focus vs fitness & meeting nightlife

Surf & Sand Laguna Beach – Wellness & nightlife

Surf & Sand emphasizes spa and wellness with Aquaterra Spa, fitness gear and yoga classes.

  • Aquaterra Spa (eight treatment rooms, ocean-view couples' suite, spa lounges) open daily by appointment
  • Fitness center with Peloton equipment, Smart Mirror and scheduled yoga classes
  • Evening bar options include oceanfront Splashes Bar and Bella Vista Terrace with live music on select nights

Surf & Sand is better for spa-centric getaways and relaxed seaside evenings.

The Westin Anaheim Resort – Wellness & nightlife

The Westin Anaheim Resort highlights 24-hour fitness facilities, meeting spaces and nearby evening entertainment at Downtown Disney® and Anaheim GardenWalk.

  • 24-hour health club and fitness facilities; fitness access often a feature for resort guests
  • 23 meeting rooms and large banquet/meeting capabilities make evening events and conferences common
