Food, service, the room, hotel amenities were all fantastic. Hard to beat the location tucked into the Santa Barbara hills, very peaceful and beautiful. We enjoyed hanging by the pool and taking in the incredible views. Our room was incredible, very spacious and had everything you need for a very comfortable stay.
The pool area is not that large, and no separate area (or not that we saw) for kids. So you may get some kids in the mornings jumping in. Additionally there were a few guests using their phones/face times at the pool which was quite loud.

The shuttle to downtown was awesome and convenient.
Because of Covid, the restaurant/bar staff were really understaffed! So, getting a drink would take around 10 to 15 minutes. Not so good....

Gorgeous property & we got upgraded to a room with a balcony view which was large & well appointed. Staff was friendly and attentive at every turn and outlet. My pup was welcomed with a large bed & lovely grooming amenities, as well as dog muffins at breakfast. Food was very good, pool was relaxing & we always had water and snacks provided. The grounds were immaculate & cleanliness was excellent. A very unique and memorable experience & stay we hope to repeat. Will check out the spa next time!
Dinner service (particularly drinks/cocktails) was a bit slow due to staff shortages but the team that was there were all doing a great job regardless and very apologetic. The phones did not work our first full day and but it was fixed within a few hours.

Staff was very friendly at the hotel. Room was spacious and interesting. Nice fireplace inside the room and a nice patio to sit. Pool was ok - a bit small and an ok view.
Restaurant service was very very slow. Servers were kind enough but probably overworked. Spa didn’t have a couples massage option.

Loved the avocado toast breakfast, fresh squeezed orange juice Loved the Dinners overlooking the ocean Great bar and drinks
Requested my mom to be in adjoining room since she has Alzheimer's and the staff would not accommodate us, so she felt like she was alone the entire time.

Love the view from the pool Great e-bikes available to get into town Complementary beverages and snacks provided in the room on arrival While not in town, you are above the fog and close to great cycling routes Really helpful valet staff
Pool area is small.....but on the upside, the intimacy means people make friends chatting to each other! We were locked out of our room despite being given a late checkout It's pricey.
