We hosted our destination wedding at the Ventana restaurant terraces. The site itself was just magical - gorgeous ocean views, great lounge type seating, and beautiful landscape surroundings. It is the perfect blend of Big Sur rusticity and 5 star luxury. The day couldn't have been better, and all of our guests raved about the venue, food, and staff. The... more

We only stayed one night, a bit of a waste in a gorgeous restful place such as this. Upgraded to a suite as they weren't really busy: private, beautiful high ceilings, deck, magic bed, etc etc!!! Views onto the surrounding hills, great outdoor areas to relax, pools. Avril at reception was very helpful and friendly, while maintaining complete professionalism. The... more

Almost don't want to share how great this place is. You can stay at the resort or camp down by the river and then dine at the 5 star restaurant. Brilliant - stunning - amazing!!. more

We had heard so much about Ventana and we were looking forward to staying there. We were not disappointed - the location is amazing, in the middle of the woods with an ocean view. The restaurant has reopened and was terrific - if you sit outside, you have an ocean view. We enjoyed the peace and quiet and wonderful walking... more

OK I have to admit I would NEVER stay at a resort like this because of the price. We used AMEX points so the weekend was "free". I think for the price I would give this 4.5 stars overall. I am a camper at heart and I felt like everyone here was a bit stodgy and a lot older than... more

My husband and I stayed at the Ventana Inn for 2 nights to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. We were very fortunate that a law firm came the same weekend for a retreat and as a result, the other guests who had reserved standard rooms were upgraded. We had a gorgeous, almost brand new room in the Pacific building with... more

Loved this campground - one of the best I've been to in all of California. Secluded camp spots (but you must be selective because some are back to back). Very quiet. Large trees. Great bathroom facilities. Has a small store in case you forgot something - and they sell firewood there. Great access to beautiful hikes with gorgeous waterfalls and... more

If you're looking for a quiet, relaxing, romantic place to stay that puts you in touch with nature & your partner, this is it. Beautiful area, and every possible amenity. Our room had a private deck with hot tub & hammock overlooking the forest & ocean. A wonderful way to rejuvenate. more

We were there for a wedding and stayed for two nights. It was an amazing experience. The resort, location, amenities, and best of all....the customer service. Everyone I came across was professional and gracious. They have an excellent staff and ensure you have a great stay. I'd say the only negative was not much of a view from our room,... more

We booked last minute (i.e. at 6pm on the day of). The staff couldn't have been more accommodating, and the place was perfect. I've stayed at 4 and 5 star hotels/resorts before (e.g. Four Seasons, Ritz, and some boutiques), but this was by far the best. You know it is great when everyone knows your name and not a soul... more
