Know any SoCal hotels that would be a relaxing, luxurious babymoon? Seems like the choices are either super basic (still for $500+) or $2k+ a night. Anyone have a hideaway they love that will pamper us?

If you're on a wellness kick I would pick the four seasons in Westlake Village... I don't love their rooms, but wellness and pampering is their jam.

The Four Seasons in Westlake Village is awful. At least it was when we did a mini babymoon there. The pool is packed with the worst kind of LA douchefolk. The service was atrocious, the food mediocre at best and overpriced.

We had a perfect chill time in Palm Springs though.

Surf and Sand in Laguna - amazing views and location and a little more reasonable than the Montage.

Not super luxurious but we enjoy staying at the Seabird Resort in Oceanside. A ton of great food options within walking distance or 12 min local drive to Carlsbad. The spa is nice and the pool is very nice and not too crowded.
