The town of Dana Point is a jewel on the California coastline, with gorgeous weather, a picturesque harbor, and stunning views of the Pacific Ocean. It's also home to the only California resort crowned with the Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star, Five-Diamond Award, the St. Regis Monarch Beach, which happens to be one of this week's participating Starpicks properties. That means last-minute rates are at least 20% off regular rates for stays during the next eight weeks. So why not enjoy a few sunsets in this perfect retreat? This Tuscan-style resort is situated along the ocean, and its world-class luxury and stellar setting dazzle from the moment you lay eyes on it. With an exclusive private beach club, three swimming pools (including one with private cabanas), a championship golf course, the award-winning spa Gaucin, and six ocean-view restaurants, you'll find everything you need to relax and feel great. Spend your day swimming in the ocean, relaxing by the pool, or playing tennis on one of eight lighted hard courts. When evening comes, indulge in a meal at Stonehill Tavern, where Chef Michael Mina serves American cuisine in an atmosphere of elegance and refinement. As the sun sets over the ocean, have a toast to another perfect day in California. New Starpicks properties are posted every Tuesday, so check the list for the latest deals.
