We have stayed at a number of places in Santa Barbara, but somehow had not stayed here before. It was exactly what we have always looked for in the area. We stayed in the suite, which had an amazing view of the beach and ocean just across the street. The room was very spacious, and the bathroom was large, with a full sized tub. The property was clean, and very nice. The pool had a great fire pit where we had wine from the pool bar. The bartender was very friendly, and accommodating. Definitely plan one staying there again in the future.

Jeffrycke, Thank you for this fantastic review. We are so happy that you found us and that we could provide to you what you "were always looking for" in a Santa Barbara visit. We cannot think of a better compliment then that. We also adore hearing when our guests are still able to have that quintessential "Mar Monte experience" even in these times by taking in our beautiful beachside location and enjoying one of our local wines by our poolside firepit. On behalf of the entire staff, we cannot wait to welcome you back! All the best, Ingrid Braun

The hotel was ok. The view was AMAZING. The hot water was awful and with COVID that was a great concern. I did not want to be bounced around fr4om room to room. So it was disappointing. The balcony vie of the ocean made it worth while. I had my own cleaning supplies therefore I just used hand sanitizer and enjoyed the incredible view.

DawnOzzy, I sincerely apologize for the hot water issues you encountered during your stay with us. I am not sure if you were able to contact someone while on property to assist but understand what an inconvenience this can also be. I would love the opportunity to welcome you back and if interested to reach out to me directly to coordinate. As an obvious fan to our location we want nothing more then you to be as big as of a fan to our property. Kindly, Ingrid Braun

Absolutely love this hotel. Catherine is amazing. So kind, welcoming and so helpful. We spoke to her on the phone before our first visit, and she went above and beyond to make sure it was perfect! The location of this hyatt is just perfect. So close to the beach. Views from the ocean view rooms and balconies are stunning. The front desk is so helpful and welcoming. Amanda is very sweet and made sure everything was great when we checked in. Mitch is so personable and goes over the top to make sure your having a great time and is very sincere! Great guy! My kids loved the pool and having the warm fire pit right there was nice to sit at while having a drink since it was a bit cold in December. The bartender Mike was great too!! Such a nice guy. All rooms are a bit different but this was our 3rd trip and we have loved every room. Very unique hotel with various room sizes. I recommend rooms with a balcony so you can sit out there and if your room is smaller you feel like it’s a little bit bigger. Although we had a smaller room our first stay there in the main building w/out a balcony that was nice too. Just a charming hotel with a great staff who make the stay wonderful. And if there are any issues they help resolve it the best they can, make sure your happy and all with a smile! One more person who seems to be everywhere and helping everyone is Michael. Bringing clean towels or anything extra you need. Super kind and so helpful! My 6 year old calls Mar Monte his Santa Barbara home! We feel so lucky to have been 3x and look forward to our next visit! It’s not a fancy resort but it’s a great hotel with the kindest staff and a lot of charm with the most beautiful beach:ocean view!…

My husband, son, parents, and I stayed at the Mar Monte from December 24, 2020-January 4, 2021 and visited my brother and his girlfriend, who live in Santa Barbara. Everyone traveling had unfortunately contracted COVID-19 in November, and the silver lining was having antibodies so we could come stay at this beautiful resort. Brendan, the manager, worked with my husband to ensure we had an incredible stay. Brendan truly went above and beyond, and so did the rest of the staff. They ensured we received everything we needed, even in these strange COVID-19 times. The amenities were absolutely perfect, too. We had keurig machines in every single room. My son (2.5 years old) was able to sleep really well with the blackout curtains in the room (in a pack-n-play, which the hotel provided at no extra fee), and he especially loved the bathtub. He calls it "the faraway bath" now! The location is absolutely perfect, too. It's right by the beach, and the balconies allow for perfect sunset viewings. You can hear the ocean waves while you go to bed, too. The front desk was always very accommodating, whether we needed cups, breakfast, glasses, water, or anything else. I highly recommend this hotel. Thank you to the staff, especially Brendan, for ensuring our stay was superb! We will *hopefully* be back very soon!…
