Reviews for Alila Ventana Big Sur
Well Worth It
Traveled to Big Sur for an anniversary getaway and so glad we chose to stay at the Alila Ventana Big Sur. It was a perfect, relaxing, enjoyable experience that we certainly hope to replicate in the future. Staff was very attentive and helpful. Food was delicious. The location and the views were amazing. Highly recommend.

Despicable behavior
The valet driver crashed our rental car and damaged the front fender. They didn’t even bother to tell us. We didn’t notice until we stopped for gas. The hotel later refused to take responsibility. So much for 5 star experience.

Poor customer service and food experience
I got sick eating at the restaurant, provided dietary restrictions, had it confirmed several times. I couldn't sleep and almost went to hospital.l by the pain. Celiac. I ordered breakfast the next day, again order had gluten. 3rd time delivery took 1.5 hours with ETA 30 mins and came with many items missing. I didnt enjoy my stay as I got sick because of the dietary restrictions not being followed by staff.

Amazing Location, Property and Staff
My wife and I visited Alila Ventana Big Sur in early December 2025 and had a amazing time. I'd heard that the property was Hyatt's top property in the 48 states and was a little skeptical before arriving, but would now agree with that claim. The staff is exceptional. The food is exceptional. And the property and location are unmatched in our experience. Alila Ventana is very down to earth and a place to relax, unwind, go on terrific hikes, relax by the pool, or soak in the hot tub. If you're looking for a glitzy or ritzy experience, look elsewhere. But if you want to be surrounded by nature and have a truly relaxing, quiet, and stress free experience - in one of nature's most spectacular locations - then I would highly recommend Alila Ventana Big Sur.

Ventana was the perfect spot...this resort is easily one of the most romantic places in Big Sur. The on-site spa is relaxing and comforting - everyone is knowledgeable, skilled and highly professional. Ventana is luxurious, romantic and fun. We'll be back!
