Southern California AAA Five Diamonds (2011)

Description:

Day One -- Restaurants
Day Two -- Hotels

Please note:

-- The Four Seasons no longer manage the Four Seasons Aviara Resort, it is now run by Park Hyatt and the proper link is: Park Hyatt Aviara Resort, Carlsbad

-- I included a listing for the Spa at the Island Hotel Newport Beach; the link to the hotel proper is: Island Hotel Newport Beach

-- The Montage Beverly Hills and Studio, Laguna Beach are on the Forbes Five Star list but not the AAA list. I was feeling charitable so I put them up here anyways.
