We had a lovely stay, enjoying the stunning setting and varied outdoor experiences. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, offering a nice touch of luxury. However, the food experience fell short of our expectations for the price, especially given that alcoholic beverages are not included. The service had its moments, notably the efforts from staff, but the communication left something to be desired at times.

Staying at this hotel felt like a dream with breathtaking views of the redwoods and the ocean. The rooms were stunning and cozy, with thoughtful details that made our stay special. However, we encountered a few hiccups with service, especially during peak times, which could be improved. Dining at the Sur House was a highlight, offering delicious meals that kept us satisfied throughout our visit, but it could get monotonous if staying longer. Overall, a good mix of luxury and outdoor adventure, though some service aspects need refinement.

Our experience at Ventana highlighted both the beauty of the surroundings and the challenges of service and dining. The glamping site was charming but lacked essential amenities for the price, while our hotel room was a significant improvement. Dining experiences were hit or miss, with a rushed atmosphere and insufficient breakfast options. Overall, the location is stunning, but there are areas needing attention.

The hotel offers stunning grounds and a relaxed ambiance, making it a delightful retreat. I especially loved the beautiful landscaping and the unique outdoor amenities like the infinity hot tub. However, the service felt a bit inexperienced, and I wish there were more dining options available during my stay. Overall, it's a great choice for enjoying nature and unwinding, but the service could use some improvement.
