Ok, so it was rainy when we arrived and the receptionist did not seem very friendly, but she did offer us wine. When we checked into our room I thought, this is not worth the price. Again, due to the rain, we had dinner at their restaurant which seemed overpriced. (There are other restaurants in the area, and the staff... More

Big Sur is magical. Originally came for lunch last year as we were driving down the coast with a few of my kids. Came back now with my husband to spend a few days. Originally got a villa that was dark with essentially no view. We asked to be moved to a nicer unit and were immediately accommodated. The unit... More

Overall the resort is beautiful and the rooms have nice amenities. However, I had a hard time justifying spending $750 per night for a fairly small room that was comparable to $350 room at a standard luxury hotel. More

We were lucky enough to find the Ventana Inn on Sniqueaway and booked a trip at a very favorable price. Everything about our stay was delightful: our room was attractive, we enjoyed the Japanese baths, and we took advantage of the free yoga classes and daily hikes. The breakfasts were wonderful and the public spaces in the resort were lovely.... More

We enjoyed the free yoga class and wished we could have done the nature hike. We were thrilled with the free champagne... More

My wife and I drove up the PCH from Santa Monica to Carmel and we stayed one night at the Ventana Inn. Beautiful weather and incredible scenery combined to make this one of our best experiences of our trip. My wife enjoyed the complimentary massage and our room (52) met our high expectations but the view exceeded our expectations with... More

I stayed at the Ventana Inn & Spa for 2 days in December, and it was amazing! It's located in Big Sur, tucked away in the hills. It's so quiet and peaceful, and has beautiful grounds. The rooms were clean and confortable, and had amazing views of the ocean. We used the gym, went to a yoga class, and ran... More
