Beautiful property exceeded our expectations. I heard there were a lot of negative reviews after we arrived and can’t imagine what anyone could complain about. Ventana was as close to heaven as I’ve ever been.

Best of Big Sur

You are going to splurge when you stay here, but it’s a small slice of hevan in the woods. My daughter and I stopped on the way down from San Fran and wished we had time for a few extra days. She talked me into morning yoga which was relaxing with some good stretching! We will be back~

Hotel charged 200 dollars per night deposit then held on to this money for three days after I checked out!!! Unacceptable!

Pros: Free breakfast, Quiet
Hotel is over priced for the quality. The restaurant was very expensive for super small portions. My debit card was charged 200 dollars deposit for each night I stayed and this money was not returned to me for 3 days AFTER check out. UNACCEPTABLE.

Nature's Paradise

Pros: Free breakfast, Close restaurants, Free Internet, Quiet, hotel 5 star restaurant was great.
My daughter and I experienced a wonderful stay at the hotel. The grounds are pristine, with miles of walking trails. The breakfast buffet offered a hot and cold array of fresh food. The complimentary wine and cheese hour was the start of a perfect evening at the hotel restaurant. Yoga, vistas of the ocean, local wildlife (deer), with numerous fireplaces throughout the resort made for a memorable experience.

Amazing resort

Beautiful property on hwy 1 in Big Sur. The Inn is located at the top of a mountain surrounded by red woods and amazing views of the ocean. Upon arrival golf cart trucks help you with your baggage then drive you up the hill to the main building. We were offered a glass of wine while we checked in, our room was upgraded and the cary drove us to our room. The suite was huge, with spectacular views. The bed had soft cotton sheets, down quilts and tons of pillows! Leather chairs, flat screen TV, fireplace, a bottle of champagne waiting for us, a private deck with a hammock , a mini bar filled with yummies and more. Quaint trails that are light at night take you to the main restaurant- or you can get a ride in the carts if you wish. Free Breakfast daily with healthy options such as granola, fresh fruit, oatmeal, eggs, pastries etc. Free daily Yoga in the library. Wine and cheese from 4-6, Spa, heated pools, japanese hot baths, trails to explore, and more! The food in the restaurant was delicious!!! Ran the Big Sur Marathon while we were there-never wanted to leave Ventana Inn. As a mom of 6 kids It was nice to be at an adult only resort.
