VERY family oriented! Only wish our room was closer to the beach! We were at the FARTHEST end of the property possible. Overall though the property was very nice. While there were no tv's in the room we still had plenty to do. The daily dining hall style breakfast was nice. Would stay here again. FYI the rooms are bundled... More

We stayed here in March. We had a nice, spacious room with wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling glass - our view was relaxing. The restaurant serves its meals 'family style', i.e., you are assigned a table with other people and breakfast is the same meal for everyone. We felt like we were at camp; we thought it was different, but fun. There's... More

We recently spent one night at the hotel as part of the Travelzoo special. The location near the beach is great, the rest not so much. This is a very large, and very old resort. I read the reviews before booking and they were mostly correct. Our room was right out the 1970's and it did need some work. It... More

We stayed May 3-5, 2012 at the Asilomar. There have been widely varying opinions on people's stay at the Asilomar facilities. First some facts: this is really a sprawling campus over half a mild wide, with 32 lodge buildings containing 420 individual guest rooms. The lodge buildings may be described in two types: rustic and contemporary. Rustic buildings were constructed... More

This hotel is located across the street from the beach, and is situated in a very nice natural setting. We walked three miles down the coast among nice beaches and rocky terrain. There were deer freely wandering around the hotel grounds. It's quiet and serene, and if you're looking to relax, it's nice. It's only about a ten minute drive... More

I will start by saying that the only saving grace of this place is that the service staff are nice and the food didn't make me sick, but that's all the nice I have to say. I came for a scientific conference and what I came away with is I am now an expert at waiting in line; as others... More

I stayed here for a weeklong conference. Note that I said conference and not "religious retreat". This place would be OK for a day or two but after 7 days you feel like you are in a cult. The rooms have NONE of the following: - Air Conditioning - Fan or anything that's NOT heat with which to circulate air... More

My girlfriend and I just checked in and are completely appalled by the room we were given. We upgraded to a fireplace room for a romantic evening. What we found was the epitomy of anti-romantic. We have a room with four beds. Three singles and a double. There are burns all over the nasty carpet. It is a bare bones... More

Man, do I regret not reading the yelp reviews before using Priceline to book our two night stay at Asilomar Conference Grounds. We stayed there over the weekend with our two boys (ages 5,2) they had a blast running around the grounds and playing on the beach. The actual rooms on the other hand were another story- Just like the... More
