This is a beautiful and very well run resort property that is tucked up in the hills of Big Sur. We stayed for two nights and loved our time in this beautiful area. The staff are very friendly and extremely responsive. Our large bedroom/sitting area was attractive and comfortable with a big deck and a wood burning fireplace. The wood... More

I loved this place. I would like to preface this review with I DID NOT STAY HERE as the cost is a little out of my range but I'm sure totally worth it if you have the means. I did benefit from a spa treatment here. Again, very expensive, but you are able to utilize many of the common areas... More

A great place to stay, Big Sur's best . Located on a ridge overlooking the pacific with winding paths through the redwoods and lush foliage. Our deck had a hot tub and views up a canyon,very secluded. Food was wonderful, very clean Inn with great service and staff. We have stayed at many places but will make Ventana a regular... More

The most unpretentious, welcoming, pure example of hospitality I've experienced in quite sometime. From the Front Desk Staff to the Room Attendants to the complimentary Shuttle Drivers to the entire restaurant staff, hands down, first class. We were greeted with what felt like open arms...similar to being welcomed to a family. Any and every request was answered as if we... More

I am stunned to read some of the less than stellar reviews of the Ventana. My husband and I just stayed there and it could not have been better! We have stayed at the Post Ranch Inn and while it is fabulous, we loved Ventana Inn even more. The landscaping and outdoor areas are heaven. Walks from the room to... More

My wife and I just returned from the Ventana and it was simply one of the most relaxing and experiences we have had in years. And this is from two people who typically do not like high end resorts as we would prefer to be camped out in a high mountain pass rather than paying absurd sums of money for... More

I was really looking forward to staying at the Ventana Inn and Spa! This was to be the highlight stop of a seven day trip along the california coast. It was ok, but it was not the highlight. I think that my main issue was with check in. The reception was average. No warm and friendly welcome. Basic. Your rate... More

Although expensive, the people are great, the rooms are great and it is really neat. More

Remembering a pleasant stay 10+ years ago I suggested to 4 of my friends we pitch in to offer our newlywed friends a week end at the Ventana. How hard could that be, they have a gift certificate web application... Little did I know. All 5 of us are european and have european credit cards. To start off the gift... More
