Most of the staff were a pleasure and made our stay feel special, though we did have 1–2 interactions where it felt like we were a bother for asking for anything. That’s disappointing anywhere, but especially on a $3k+ per night trip. When booking, I chose a suite specifically for its forest view. We came to Big Sur to be surrounded by giant trees. At check-in, we were told we’d been “upgraded” to a Pacific view suite. While well-intentioned, it wasn’t what we came for. From the suite we couldn’t see the water, the outdoor furniture wasn’t comfortable enough to enjoy, and it lacked the lounge chairs/hammock the original suite had advertised. We asked to move back to our booked room but were told the property was fully committed. I understand that happens, but it was frustrating to have our experience shifted by a change we didn’t request. Overall, Alila Ventana Big Sur is a breathtaking property with (mostly) a wonderful team. But if you’re going for a specific experience — like the forest views we wanted — make sure your reservation is honored as booked. At this level, the details really matter. ##### Ashley Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Roland Jun 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities \- ##### Roland Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Kyle Aug 4, 2025 ##### Kyle Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Daniel Aug 1, 2025 ##### Daniel Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael Apr 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Alway a beautiful place to stay at.

The gourmet meals were so delicious and to my surprise they were all included in your stay, breakfast, lunch and dinner. If you are looking for a quiet romantic getaway this place is a must! I will definitely come back. I don’t usually write reviews but i was so impressed buy this hotel. Every detail was taught through.

The facility itself is beautiful. It is, however, very expensive. The biggest drawback is the food. Very uneven in quality. Breakfasts are good, other food is mediocre. In spite of that, I had an amazing time. ##### Nancy Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Rachel Jul 23, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Much needed: kinks need to be worked out Check in took FOREVER. Instructions for reception were unclear. Our room wasn’t ready at check in time, and when we received our key cards, they didn’t work! The key cards would deactivate multiple times during our stay as well, and replacements were needed each time. Stay here for the stunning environment and views, but expect some operational/management issues. ##### Rachel Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2020 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller Mar 23, 2020 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Mar 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Mar 21, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Everything was perfect! The only thing my wife and I can think of is: For the cost of staying at Ventana, plus the Entertainment fee, the food should have been free! No joke! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephanie Mar 14, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Stephanie Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pamela Mar 7, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort This resort is fantastic.
