房間很好,爬山場地不錯,食物還可以。下次有機會試試看露營區,安靜人少,整個酒店園區適合家人一起出遊。

Great food. Great experience with gluten-free and dairy free dining. Very relaxing. Everything was pretty easy. First, I am celiac and eating gluten-free and dairy free at the restaurant and room service was easy. . I did not try the pool bar. It was pretty cool that weekend so we were not at the pool at lunchtime. The snacks that are provided in the room were not gluten-free. That was not a big deal for us as I felt like I have plenty to eat at the meals. I also cannot walk very far or for very long. The golf carts were readily available to take me where we needed to go on the resort with a quick response to a text message request. I did call the resort prior to our visit and request that our room have minimal steps or hills to reach it. They nicely accommodated me in a room close to the social house. Tips: schedule your spa treatments, and your dinner reservations before arriving. We also enjoy the falconry and a meditation. I would recommend both of them. We stayed 2 nights but 3 would have been perfect.

Everything about this location is superb! The incredible setting amongst the redwoods overlooking the Pacific, the food, the record player in the room while sitting by the fireplace, the outstanding service from each and every staff member, and the delicious cuisine. Every plate is accented with local, seasonal produce. The infinity hot tub overlooking the Forest was so memorable. What an escape!

Fantastic location with friendly and attentive staff. You are made to feel at home. Excellent room service. Plenty of amenities and experiences to try out. Perfect getaway along the coast for those looking to unwind. Strongly recommend the day/night hikes with Kyle. Mouthwatering food served at the Sur House. Great ambience and a spectacular view of the coast. The food always tasted fresh and delicious. You can't go wrong with the Confit Duck Leg. By far the best dish I had. You owe it to yourself to visit Alila Ventana Big Sur. A memorable experience filled with fantastic food, spectacular views, superb staff, and fun activities.

Came here for 2 nights as a Hyatt Globalist. I think this resort is Hyatt’s way to thank all their loyal customers to this special retreat. We were upgraded to a Vista Suite which was 770 sq. Feet with a hot tub and stocked fridge. All your meals, snacks and non alcoholic beverages are included. Service was very good and a real friendly staff. The views are amazing as well as the hikes. The meals are amazing especially for dinner. Get Richard as your waiter and you can get the entire history as he has been here for 40 years. Their a 2 pools and a Japanese spa. The main pool has an infinity spa overlooking the valley of trees. Very impressive resort and if you need a few days to unwind you found your sanctuary!

Can't wait to go back...booked for next year. Superb in every way. Pricey, but worth it as a splurge. Relaxed upon arrival. Food was fantastic, especially considering it was all inclusive.

My husband and I visited Alila Ventana Big Sur for the first time over a weekend for our wedding anniversary and it was absolutely wonderful and magical. The service was top-notch throughout and the resort itself is woven into the redwoods so you feel like everything is integrated well. The gorgeous walking around from one's room (we had a standard suite for our special occasion) to either the Sur House (restaurant), Social House, Spa Alila, etc., was very enjoyable and made for easy exercise. We did one of the complimentary activities (Coast Ridge Hike) and that was lovely. The all-inclusive food at Sur House and for in-room dining are delicious. Alcohol and other specialty items (like mocktails or alcohol-free beer) are not included, which is fine, but note that even though you'll intuitively write-in your own tips on those extra dining costs, they'll also add on their gratuity, so try to avoid double-tipping. Got an amazing couples massage for our wedding anniversary at Spa Alila and the views were jaw-dropping. Our masseuses were great and the cost was reasonable given the fact that it includes the gratuity (they explained it better). We also paid for another activity -- Summit Sips, which is a small-group guided hike where the guide also makes cocktails. Our guide, Riley, took us to a gorgeous beach cove that was a decent hike and not long. So memorable. We will absolutely be back!

One of the best hotel resort experiences we’ve ever had. We celebrated our 8th year anniversary here and from the moment we checked in, you could feel the sense of relaxation on the property. Imagine the most picturesque resort that’s situated in the clouds amongst redwood trees. The staff is really what set it apart for us. They were each so good, you remember them by name. First was Brian, one of the front desk staff who checked us in and was so calm and welcoming. He even followed up with us on our last night to make sure everything was ok. Juan, our server, at the Sur House was hands down one of the best, if not the best we’ve ever had at a restaurant. Other front desk staff we loved were Jamie and hotel manager Julia who went above and beyond the whole trip. They gave us 3 different Happy Anniversary greetings including cookies, a bottle of wine, and personalized notes. Our room was immaculately clean and the linens smelled like flowers. The soaps, fireplace, ambiance, turn down service were all top notch. We’ve stayed at 5 star hotels before but this on another level… 6-7 stars and set the bar really high for us. Overall, just wanted to say thanks. Their entire team deserve the recognition, and can’t wait to come back.
