The service is superb, and food at Cielo was amazing. Every room has privacy and the views are beautiful! Saw deer on the hotel grounds. Highly recommended. The ultimate in both nature and luxury.

74 year old male with a moderate budget, traveling for leisure

been going to the ventana repeatedly since 1977 with high expectations and never been disappointed. a bit pricey yes, but well worth it. it is one of those very rare retreats where if you so choose, park your car without returning to it until you leave. the staff pays particular attention to guests' individual needs and without exception, is very welcoming and friendly, the rooms have a warm feeling and the pools/baths are clean and delightful no matter what the weather. the cielo restaurant provides in and outdoor dining in a great atmosphere. redwoods, ocean views,great food,excellent accommodations and a caring staff...what else could one want?

39 year old male with a moderate budget, traveling for leisure

The Ventana Inn sits up high, on the inland side of Hwy 1, several hundred feet higher than the Post Ranch Inn, so when summer's fog billows above the sea, it's often warmer and sunnier here than across the road.

The vintage-1970s boxy architecture lacks the individuality of Post Ranch's artful, jewel-box design, but the weathered cedar-sided buildings and the rough-hewn pine paneling, rich leather furnishings, and extensive use of glass give the Ventana's rooms a woodsy-chic look all their own, and they feel larger, too.

Because of the inn's hilltop location, the grounds here feel far more expansive, with fabulous gardens, lavender-lined walking paths, hiking trails into the surrounding wilderness, and wide-open grassy hillsides, perfect for a long afternoon in a hammock watching the light change over the vast blue Pacific. In addition to a first-rate spa (open to non-guests) and two large swimming pools (one clothing optional), the Ventana has a series of interconnected Japanese-style baths, giving it an edge over the competition.

There are few places in Northern California as lovely as this on a starry night.

48 year old male with a luxury budget, traveling for leisure

The hotel had nice rooms, nice canyon views, but limited ocean views, even from suites. They had limited windows with screens, so in the warm afternoons, we had to leave the door open which let mosquitoes in. The hospitality bar was quite costly for an expensive suite. There was limited clothing drawer space.

I am somewhat likely to return to the Ventana Inn and Spa.
I might recommend it to friends.

This is a pricy, reclusive inn with beautiful pacific view. Services are very personal. There is a 4-star restaurant as well. For people who can afford it, this is great place to get away.

I am very likely to return to the Ventana Inn and Spa.
I would definitely recommend it to friends.
