My partner and I booked their Vista Hot Tub Suite for two nights using Hyatt points. Cash price was over $8,800! We had a fantastic weekend and will definitely be back (on points)! Food: Superb. We opted for in-suite dining for breakfast both mornings. Tried their picnic lunch at their Sur Vista on Saturday—lovely setup and views, but we left early because the bees were too bothersome. Dinner at the Sur House was phenomenal both nights. We arrived promptly at 5:30 pm to request a good table for watching the sunset. Lunch poolside was also delightful. My partner was very impressed with the vegetarian offerings. Unfortunately we never made it to evening s’mores as we were too full from dinner and we wanted to enjoy our hot tub! Room: Spacious suite with rustic touches. High ceilings, cute fireplace and chairs, ample outlets, comfortable bed. The patio was massive; it had tables and chairs, a day bed, and hot tub. The bathroom was large as well with a closet, dresser, two sinks, jacuzzi, walk-in shower, and separate toilet. My only complaint is the low water pressure and poor lighting in the shower—we had to set up a flashlight for nighttime showers. Staff and service: Every person we interacted with was incredibly pleasant and friendly. Activities and property: Gorgeous property! Sadly, the spa, Japanese baths, and infinity pool were closed. We stopped by Social Hour for drinks after checking in the first day which was relaxing. The guided morning walk around the property was a nice leisurely stroll. We didn’t sign up for any of the extra activities— we hiked in Andrew Molera State Park and Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park during the day instead (Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park was still closed due to the Dolan Fire). We even managed to squeeze in some time at the pool (love their lounge chair towel covers!) one day and watched some turkeys graze on the meadow. Misc: I was very pleased with their COVID-19 protocols. There were hand sanitizing stations, disposable masks, and signs EVERYWHERE! Guests and staff adhered to social distancing and other safety measures. This is my first hotel stay since the pandemic started and Ventana set the bar high.…

For those with a healthy discretionary budget, I would recommend a visit. Tucked within a mountain side with paths leading to various trails its a good choice for those looking to be immersed in nature. Food quality is fantastic and I loved that the portions are kept to a healthy moderation. I know everyone is on vacation but still best to keep the calorie intake to a healthy range. Ate most meals at the Sur House restaurant which is on site. Would recommend the Spanish octopus for appetizer, NY steak for entree and sundae for dessert. The only downside of the trip was some key amenities like the infinity pool and the glass house was closed off to the public due to COVID19.

Excellent value for a Hyatt member. Save your points and use them here for a fine experience. Our two day visit had little planning, so we just went with the flow from arrival to departure. The staff was outstanding. Drive up, climb into a shuttle for a short trip to the greeting area and onto your room. The grounds and facilities are well maintained and blend into the environment. Room was large, furnished well with a deck facing toward the ocean. We’re sure a forest view would have be nice too as there decks had more shade on the experienced hot days and evenings. Room would benefit from high ceiling fans to avoid AC units operating all night. The restaurant is a short walk thru the forest of oaks and redwoods, with path lighting for a fine evening stroll. Outside dinner was spectacular as the sun was setting and stars begin to appear. Service was outstanding. Food was unfortunately spotty, as some items were difficult to recognize and not very tasty. Menu centers around selecting a first, entree and desert from a short list. Maybe our expectations were too high. Wine list was interesting and our selected choices were good. Everyone will enjoy the stargazing area and nature walk around the extensive property. Happy hour takes place in a beautiful setting with ocean views. Surprised only one drink was offered, particularly when it’s something (gin) that you don’t like. Oh well. A weather related power outage solicited a few gasps, with backup power back on in a couple seconds. Well done. Typically you checkout in late morning, so a small bag of picnic food for the road would be a memorable send off. We’re starting to collect points for our next visit. …
