Last weekend we went down the St. Regis in Dana Point (South Orange County) for another "staycation". We had two free nights that I earned from a Starwood promotion that were expiring in mid-December.
Here is the view from the resort!
And this was the view from our room.
We spent some time in the pool and spa...
And took some long walks on the empty beaches...
The weather was great. Clear and warm during the day and clear and chilly at night. We watched sunset from our room.
We also really enjoyed seeing how decked-out the St. Regis gets for Christmas...
We loved the "California Snowmen"
There was also an amazing sand sculpture in the lobby.
The lights all around the property were stunning.
I thought this inverted Christmas tree was pretty cool!
And this tree was HUGE.
Overall we had a great time at this beautiful resort. The one negative about the resort is that it's really isolated. There is literally NOTHING to do around it. So if you ever go, be sure to pack some good books to read!
Have you seen any fun Christmas decorations this year?

Wow!! Looks like a great time, the pics are awesome!!!
When my husband and I were first dating, I met him at a gorgeous hotel in Dana Point for a weekend - He was on assignment out there. The area has a special place in my heart. :)
That's one of my favorite places! I do events there often and go back lots to just hang out and stay with my hubby. It's our favorite staycation spot!
This is GORGEOUS!! I love that huge tree!
We went to the Bahamas for Christmas last year and the decorations were amazing at the Atlantis!!!
Ahh, it looks so pretty! I love all the Christmas decorations, and that inverted tree is pretty cool. Sounds like a relaxing trip!
I'd say your title is spot on with me now wanting to move out to southern CA!
Still in the 70's here but the weather man is promising that number dropping soon. Take this as my wish for you to send some of that gorgeous sunshine back tot he East Coast when you get a chance ;)
I gotta buy a plane ticket and pack my bags! Now if only I could live at the St. Regis... It looks like paradise! Glad you had a great time!
Oh yes i'd love to hop on a plane right now for that gorgeous sunset! Such fun decorations too!
Aw, that's right where I'm from! I have the BEST hairdresser in Dana Point!! We took our engagement photos at the St. Regis :) Glad you enjoyed it... how could you not?!
ha..and we are planning to move back east :) i will definitely miss the west coast life!
your pictures came out incredible! what a gorgeous place to visit!
How wonderful! Don't you love free nights based on how much you've traveled? Seriously, one of the few perks to traveling a ton!
This is true....makes me miss living in Southern Cali!!! Such a beautiful place. Looks like you two had a great time!
Looks lovely..always love your travels!
Yep....I'm feeling jealous!
Hope you have had a great week and you get to spend the weekend at home with your husband!!!
What a fun staycation! That looks like a great place to lounge around for a weekend.
I remember going to the St. Regis for my grandparents 50th anniversary back in high school. I just remember it being such a gorgeous place and would love to be able to go back and stay someday!
PLEASE TAKE ME!!
I WANT TO COME!! :)
Anytime you are not going to use those free nights there, you can totally pawn them off on to me!! I love their decorations and the views look AMAZING!
It's really looking good place but smiles make it more than it. Keep smiling.
