Reviews for Alila Ventana Big Sur
Peaceful Big Sur stay of a lifetime!
This hotel resort is beyond compare! I chose it because I was longing to stay in a forest setting with ocean views ~ and was it ever! The hotel rooms, staff and restaurant are all really excellent, on par with a natural setting that is beyond compare. I will be dreaming of my next stay, and plan to stay longer!

A great birthday
The grounds are beautiful , the food was incredible and we felt there was plenty of variety. The service was excellent. The room was perfect . And our massages were spectacular!

An Experience for the Ages!
I had a fabulous experience at Alila. The resort is in such a beautiful area. It's hard to find a location in Big Sur that's not. An abundance of staff pleasantly doing everything they could to make my stay a great experience. The experiences they offer are first rate! My favorites were the falconry class with Antonio, the hike with Jerrod, and the archery class, soapmaking and hatchet throwing.

Place is beautiful. Staff and food are great. And one of the better massages I’ve had in recent memory. Looking forward to coming back.

So good and relaxing
Amazing experience. Staff met every expectation. This place sets the stands that other hotels should meet but none do.

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!
